Dear Disney Enthusiasts,
I went to Borders yesterday, and I saw a few "Tangled" books, including the paint-with-water book and the Light Up the Night coloring book; I got the Light Up the Night coloring book, and I can't wait to get the super large coloring book when it's released!
I'd like to share a TON of information about the "Tangled" dolls. Anybody who knows me online knows that I am a Barbie, My Scene, Disney, Moxie Girlz, Moxie Teenz, American Girl, etc. doll enthusiast...to an epic extent.
I'll have to take some really good photos of my Disney dolls, so that I can let everybody see them when they visit my Flickr photo page.
Well, anyway, the following is everything that I know about the "Tangled" dolls...from basic info. to the low-down on which products are better than others...
MATTEL'S "TANGLED" DOLLS
* Sparkling Princess (?) Rapunzel is Mattel's basic Rapunzel doll. She sports ankle-length hair, but she arrives with a hair extension, which is attached to a golden barrette.
* Color N' Style Rapunzel has temperature-sensitive, ankle-length hair, which changes color with warm and cool water. She arrives with color streaks in her hair, and the stencils that arrive with her can be used to create colored shapes on her hair.
* Grow N' Style Rapunzel has ankle-length hair, and she arrives with such accessories as tiny barrettes, etc. The top of her head features a pullable bunch of hair; when said hair is pulled...it magically "grows". I am gonna assume that by turning a knob, or something, the hair can be shortened again.
* Sing N' Glow (?) Rapunzel hasn't reached the local stores yet, but she supposedly sings a song from the movie, and her hair supposedly lights up when a button is pushed. Again, she features ankle-length hair...
* The Braidin' Friends (?) Rapunzel Gift Set (?) features Rapunzel, and she appears to have hair that's just slightly longer than her ankles...but her hair is incorrectly parted down the middle...(She's a braiding fun doll, so I am wondering if Mattel parted her hair down the middle so that little kids would be able to braid both sides of it evenly...). An included forest floorpiece features three little forest animals, who can braid Rapunzel's hair for her; I have absolutely NO idea about what they have to do with the story of "Tangled".
* Flynn Rider features a cocked-eyebrow, toothily-grinning face.
* The Celebration (?) Gift Set features both Flynn and Rapunzel (with ankle-length hair), and they're wearing special outfits, but I can't say anything more, or I'll spoil the movie...
* Baby Rapunzel is a large vinyl Rapunzel doll, but her hairstyle isn't quite accurate, because it features bangs...
* Maximus is Flynn's horse, and if you want Maximus, you may HAVE to buy Mattel's rendition of him, because I don't think that he'll be sold as a vinyl horse at The Disney Store.
NOTE TO THE WISE: A picky doll enthusiast recently informed me of the fact that Mattel's quality control sucks through a large straw, and that Mattel's "Tangled" dolls must be selected with the greatest of caution. Other people have complained about the legs of Mattel's "Tangled" dolls falling off when the dolls are barely out of their boxes...
THE DISNEY STORE'S "TANGLED" DOLLS
* Rapunzel arrives with hair that extends several inches beyond her ankles; her hair features sparkly strands. She arrives with both Pascal and a paintbrush, and her elbows and wrists are articulated! The Disney Store's "Tangled" Rapunzel dolls are supposedly hand-painted, and although each one may differ from the others, each features a fairly good level of quality control. I'm thinking that this basic Disney Store Rapunzel doll may be the Rapunzel doll for me!
* Rapunzel & Her Wardrobe (?) features the same Rapunzel doll that I described above, but she arrives without Pascal and the paintbrush; instead of those two extras, she arrives with two extra dresses and a dress form, and her box liner looks like the painted interior of her tower.
* Singing (?) Rapunzel is about 17-inches tall; I haven't yet seen any non-prototype pictures of her, so I hope that the manufactures changed her hairstyle so that it's not center-parted. If the rest of her is true to the prototype rendition of her, though, she should feature one fully articulated arm, and one posed arm that's only articulated at the elbow. I really, really want to find this doll, too!
* Flynn Rider looks serious, but sort of handsome, and, in my opinion, he doesn't look as goofy as Mattel's Flynn Rider doll.
* Toddler Rapunzel hasn't shown up in non-prototype pictures yet, but her prototype picture makes her look sort of cute.
NOTE TO THE WISE: I've been told that The Disney Store's "Tangled" dolls are super cool, and well worth their purchase prices! Again, you should do whatever feels right for you; I'm repeating what I've been told, and I haven't yet been to The Disney Store for a "Tangled" shopping spree...
NOTE: Also look for Mattel's $100.00 "Tangled" Tower (Which I have seen at Big KMart, and which I am impressed with), several tiny Rapunzel dolls from Mattel (They feature super, super long hair), and two Rapunzel styling heads (One is from Mattel, and the other is available at The Disney Store).
Sadly, there are no other dolls from "Tangled", so I am planning to dress one of my Canadian My Scene Swappin' Styles 2 Nolee dolls as Mother Gothel (I'd better try to draft a pattern, or something...); she features backswept black hair, bluish eyes, and a sly, sparkly red smirk. I wish that The Disney Store would give us some more villain dolls, though...
The Disney Store's Wardrobe doll has shown up on eBay...just search for "Tangled Rapunzel Wardrobe doll", and she'll probably appear...
Thank you in advance for your replies.
I think you're right. I hope they don't have him wear any when he is at the parks. 
If anyone wants to know why I have this obsession with the 
But can't anyone imagine if they used that throughout the entire film. Think about the dramatic scene when Flynn says 
That just sounds so weird!
Hate it this - And i thought we where over this when the new trailers came out - I hate it that disney are hiding Mother Gothel and using the Stabbington Brothers as the main villians
