Frozen Gets A Designer Collection Style Shirt

There have been a lot of rumors and speculation about the 2015 Designer Collection ever since the 2013 Designer Fairytale Collection was revealed. People weren't sure if a second series of Fairytale dolls would be released in 2014, and, if they were, which direction would the line take in 2015 for the next D23 convention. Since we saw series 2 of the Fairytale Collection, people have kept their fingers crossed that 2015 would offer something exciting! A new shirt was spotted with Anna and Elsa from Frozen in a familiar style which may or may not offer a clue. Take a look...

Disney Designer Fairytale Collection Revealed

It is the most anticipated doll release of the year. The Designer Collection series revitalized Disney's Princesses and people hoped more characters would eventually be included as each years new series was announced. However, this time around it started off with a lot of mixed feelings. Heavy speculation (and high hopes) were put into a possible Leading Ladies or Heroines series for the next Designer set of dolls. New characters like Merida and others like Tink, Sally, Alice or even Jessica could have been stunningly recreated in Disney Designer glory. Rumors began to swirl around the internet back in March with Designer Doll artist, Steven Thompson, hinting on his site that there was something in the works for this year, especially with the D23 convention happening. Then came rumor from sources that unnamed CastMembers found out the new series would be Designer Couples. This rumor turned out to be true.

dollMAGEDDON Strikes Back

It was announced on Steve Thompson's Tumblr page that he will be attending the 2013 D23 Convention. The convention is held every other year and is packed full of Disney this and Disney that - park announcements, guest stars, panels, and upcoming merchandise. Thompson, the evil genius behind the Disney Designer Collection, stated:

"While it is still top secret what we have in store, I will again be attending this coming August. As soon as I can let you know more I will post it here on my Tumblr page first."

The post was accompanied by photos from the 2011 D23 Convention, in which his Designer Princess dolls caused mass hysteria, panic attacks and temporary loss of bladder control. Once the dolls made their way for sale on the Disney Store website months later, what occurred in the following weeks made history as dollMAGEDDON. A year later, 2012 offered up some of Disney's most memorable female Villains for the Designer line, and Disney tried to make amends for the previous year by producing a higher edition size of dolls - therefore eliminating a dollMAGEDDON repeat. While this new information doesn't confirm or deny a third Designer Collection, we are left knowing that something IS in store for this year.

Disney Designer Villains Set Preorder

Now up for pre-order is the full set of six Disney Designer Villains Dolls. So far there are no glitches or weird code messages popping up - but with the full set selling for a whopping $477, I don't think there are crowds of people lining up to buy this. When the individual dolls are released September 10th in stores and September 11th online, that might be a different story, however the higher edition sizes make it more promising that there will not be a website collapse again. There are also shirts and other items planned to be released. Are we one year away to a possible Designer Jessica Rabbit? I suppose the success of the Villains could be a deciding factor. *UPDATE* The Designer Villains Doll Set is SOLD OUT. The set sold out some time around 4:30 am eastern time.

Disney Villains Designer Collection - dollMAGEDDON Part 2

The sky - she darkens. The wind grows angry

The end is nigh

Either that or it's just dollMAGEDDON - PART 2 !

Okay, so we didn't get Jessica Rabbit this year - but, I was at least right that Disney was not going to pass up the opportunity for another go at the Designer Collection line, even after last years near collapse of their website due to the Princess series released. Take a good, long look at the Cruella doll, and tell me they are not even considering making a Jessica Designer doll.
