I am so glad you were able to get a hold of these and show them to us. I definitely want to get at least one. There is a lot of people doing Disney Bounding outfits, especially when they go to the parks.
Thank you! They are very cute dolls, love the fact that they are a cross between a Barbie and a Rainbow High doll. (Okay, you're going to have to educate me, what does Bounding mean in this context? I haven't heard it before but someone else has mentioned it in relation to this video and Google was NO help at all!)
I am not sure why it was originally called “bounding” but I know what they mean by it. I started seeing on costube channels (costume RUclips) where people who were into historical dressmaking started mixing historical pieces in with modern clothing. That was called history bounding. And they would wear it out in public for example. Then the dressmakers who were into Disney (much crossover there) started Disney bounding. I assume it carries over into other styles as well but those are the specific areas that I am aware of thru RUclipsrs.
Oooh yes!! You've got them even before Toya at MyFroggyStuff! I only heard of them a few days ago and have already been drooling over them, the fashion packs look amazing too!
Yes, they are brand spanking new and I couldn't believe it when I saw them in the Disney store here in Dublin. I'd only heard of them a few days before seeing them for sale myself but didn't expect to find them on this side of the pond yet. They have such amazing detailed faces and I love the fact that they use inset eyes. The clothes are okay but most of them are not quite to my taste I have to admit, however I'm loving some of the accessory packs!
@@MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis yes that’s so lucky! I’m gutted the Disney store here closed down. I know what you mean, it’s not my kind of fashion, but I’m impressed by the range, diversity and accessories 😆
Wow, I can’t believe you got your hands on them, I am still waiting for them to show up over here. I really love the girls you got, I am loving the look of them! 🥰💖😍
I can't believe I got my hands on them either. I imagined they wouldn't be available over here for months and months (à la Monster High). I felt a bit bedazzled by them all but these were the two that I automatically gravitated towards so these were the two that I got.
Thank you so much! We've only JUST gotten the new Monster High dolls in Europe since the start of January, I also can't wait to get my hands on them too. Good luck finding the Ily 4EVER fashion dolls, I'm sure they'll be everywhere soon enough.
I like her. She looks like Mulan. Did you notice they all kind of look like Disney Princesses but not the ones they are inspired by?! I am tempted to buy one. I really would like fashion packs rather than more dolls. I am trying to minimise the amount of things entering my home this year. And believe it or not I am not keen on spending £30 eveytime I buy a doll! I have been in France for 4 months because of personal issues. Everything is much better now. The supermarket near where my mum lives has fantastic January sales reductions. I have never seen that before. I bought more than I should have. I bought one of the bbf cry babies doll out of curiosity. The reduction was great. I did not know what to expect. I loved her so much, I went back to see if the other one was still there the next day (they only had 2 left) lol bad but I will stop at these 2. They are so cool little dolls and look great on display. Unexpected crush. I like small dolls in that unrealistic style. I have also found the adorable nanana lucky cat doll incredibly reduced. She is so adorable. I said I would not buy more nanana but this one is one of my favourite and I refrained buying her when she was reduced in Smyths. I would love to see the Disney fashion dolls in real life. I hope they eventually will be available in Smyths in the UK. I like the aurora fashion pack.
Honestly I did wonder if originally they were meant to be a range of modern day versions of Mulan, Jasmine, Tiana, Aurora etc rather than what they ended up as and they just thought they would repurpose the doll moulds. For me the fashion and accessory packs are of more interest than the dolls... although obviously I still ended up buying two! Hopefully they will get them in Smyths at some points as our local Smyths did get the larger ily 4EVER dolls, the American Girl sized ones which have the same "inspired by" type theme as these ones, will keep my fingers crossed for you that they do. Very pleased to hear that you are doing okay and things are going better for you. Also congratulations on getting the Lucky Cat NaNaNa doll - she is cute (I also got her in the sale when I bought her).
Thank you. Yes the nanana is adorable. I remember you bought her in Smyths reduced. I have watched your video. I have seen her in Smyths too and reduced too but I left her behind. I thought I really had too many dolls. I am glad I found her again unexpectedly. I really have too many dolls! lol It is ridiculous. I will moderate my enthusiasm this year! This Disney doll really look like Mulan. I like her a lot. I might buy her at some stage but only one. The fashion packs are great. We can also use them for other dolls.
love her , you are a bad influence 🤣🤣 i have seen the big version in Smythes and they are nice but i dont collect that size, There is a snow white inspired one like yours which of course i need, looking on the disney site now but got to wait for payday 🤣🤣🥰🥰
I should be on commission! Yeah, I was only vaguely aware of the bigger versions of these, but like you, they are a size which interests me, these ones are much more up my street. And yes, the Snow White one looks great, she seems to be the one that I've actually seen most of. They are on the Disney UK online store, I checked 😉
Yeah, I'm the same. I like the clothes and accessories and the styling is pretty subtle that unless you know she is based on Tiana you wouldn't automatically guess by looking at her.
Oh gosh, congrats on getting these gorgeous dolls from the Disney Store. I like that they are very articulated and you are able to play around with more poses. And the ankle articulation is also a good thing so probably she can wear some heeled shoes too. I think her outfits are not cheaply looking, which is really great. The fabric and prints look realistic. I want one too
Thank you! You can definitely pose the dolls well, although I wish the articulation at the hips was better. And yes, the ankle articulation will be helpful for going from flats to heels. The clothes on this girl seemed really nicely made and made from nice quality fabric, it's nice having so many separate pieces that can be mixed and matched with other dolls too.
My interest was piqued by these dolls but yours is the first review I've seen. Glad to see her articulation, especially the knees and ankles, and the inset eyes are something. I recently bought an Encanto Isabela (hairplay) doll from Disney, and these dolls seem to share general body proportions. I'm really liking this body size! Not being a Disney Princess movie maven, I don't recognize a lot of the references, but I'm just in love with the lily-pad hairband. I might have to get Tiana for that alone! My Isabela (whose articulation btw is NOT as good as these) is intrigued, and since she doesn't have a friend at present, we might make a trip to the disney store. Thanks March Payne!
I can't believe how brand new these dolls are and how lucky I am to have gotten this video out when I did! The knees and ankles are great, just wish the articulation at the hips was better. I hope that your Isabela enjoys her new friend when you get her. I love the clothes with this girl too, especially the jacket, once I remembered she had one of course!
@@MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis That jacket is just gorgeous, especially with the little frog eyes as buttons. lol As to articulation, I saw on another channel that they don't seem to be able to sit well. If that's the case, I anticipate having to do some modifications. I had to do some to Isabela in order to get her knees to bend to 90 degrees, and that worked out ok. We'll see. Thanks again for the review. Looking forward to the Belle review.
I enjoyed hearing about your thoughts on this new doll line. I am interested in getting them especially the fashion and accessory packs most for additions to my other dolls. I quite like that they are based off the character and movie in a Disney bounding style I think that there is much more to work with and details that are both obvious and subtle to pull from beyond just oh it’s a princess. Disney has so many interesting minor characters and themes within all their movies and the inspiration aspect allows for all kinds of different styles and designs… take Snow White for example there is the poisonous apple and the dwarfs and forest animals as well as the evil queen and the concept of beauty or fairest of the land and of course the ever important magical mirror. I think these are the best concepts for Disney dolls as there will be something for everyone.
Yes, the fashion and accessory packs look particularly good and would be great for other dolls too I think. And yes, I totally agree with you about the dolls and the fact that Disney have so many characters that they can work with. This line could run and run, it just depends on how successful they are I suppose. I hope they do well, because they really seem to have put the effort into them and they are lovely dolls.
I am not a Disney fan been there done that lol but I really like this line of dolls the doll you purchased or the other brunette long hair will most likely be a purchase for me. The fashion packs are quite adorable 😍 very interested in those 16.99 usa Disney store price and 29.99 for the dolls hoping they may go on sale in a few mos USA Target stores are selling them besides Disney. I think they have us adult fashion doll people in mind w this line and I am here for it 🥰 Thank you for all the details 😻
Yes, it definitely feels as if they are trying to get a slice of the adult fashion doll collector market. These dolls seem pretty well done though, although I too would like it if they went on sale at some point. I'm not aware of anywhere else selling these dolls here, although the larger ily 4EVER dolls are being dolls in toy shop chain Smyths so I will have to keep and eye out there too just in case. For me it's the accessories packs which are of most interest so hoping to get one or two of those at some point.
She's lovely and it looks like you were very lucky finding her, others haven't been able to. The quality seems pretty good and I absolutely love her jacket! 💗
I was so surprised to find them because they are so new. I think we're more used to not getting dolls released at the same time as in the States so presume we're going to have to wait for them. Her jacket is adorable - can't believe I almost forgot all about it!
I haven’t seen these before - they look really nice - I like the idea that they are based on the princesses but not a version of them - great review 🥰🥰
Yeah, I don't understand why she didn't come with earrings as I know that some of the others do. I guess we got a bracelet with her instead but that's not great and doesn't really stay on her.
When I do my review of the fashion pack for the Ily 4EVER doll I will try the clothes out on a Blythe (both jointed body and Takara stock body). So keep an eye out for that.
They are so new, I had only seen them in one or two videos on here before I saw them in the shop. I really like the clothes on this girl, particularly that jacket.
i'm pretty much sold on these, but would be really nice if they came out with some Disney bounding boy dolls. i would like to see Pinocchio, Mowgli and Merlin represented. .. maybe Shere Khan?
YES! I would love the next wave to have a few boy dolls in it or even a whole wave of boy dolls. The possibilities with this idea of them being inspired by a Disney character is endless, as someone else pointed out, there are so many characters (not just Princesses) that they would use from their back catalogue, this series of dolls could run and run.
I guess Disney is trying to reach people like me who are doll lovers but not into Disney princesses. Some of the movie references are pretty subtle which I prefer if they have to include them. They have sort of Rainbow High inspired inset eyes and articulation, Barbie Fashionista skin tone diversity, and a LOL OMG surprise element. I might try one out some day, maybe at a discount.
Yes, I feel much the same concerning the Disney Princesses dolls. I like the fact that these dolls are quite subtly inspired by the princesses rather than it being very blatant too. And yes, maybe wait for an offer or discount on them. I think I got a bit giddy when I saw them in the shop hence the fact I ended up buying not just two dolls but the fashion pack as well!
Yay, the lollipops! 🥰🍭♥️
They are cute! It's nice having an accessory like this with them, they will look great in photographs.
🤩🤩🤩 Can't wait to see that outfit - love the little dragon on the t-shirt. :)
Yes, the dragon on the t-shirt is cute and I LOVE the colours in the set too.
I am so glad you were able to get a hold of these and show them to us. I definitely want to get at least one. There is a lot of people doing Disney Bounding outfits, especially when they go to the parks.

Yes, they are brand spanking new and I couldn't believe it when I saw them in the Disney store here in Dublin.

@@MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis yes that’s so lucky! I’m gutted the Disney store here closed down. I know what you mean, it’s not my kind of fashion, but I’m impressed by the range, diversity and accessories 😆
I think she's absolutely gorgeous. thank you march
Don't thank me - thank my total lack of will power and devil may care attitude 😉
just seen all the accessory sets too, i will never have any money 🤣🤣🥰🥰
The accessory sets are what actually interest me the most. They would be a great size for Sindys I think.
@March Payne's Midlife Dolly Crisis that's my thinking. I think I would only get the one doll then more accessories 🤭🤔 famous last words 🤣
Wow, I can’t believe you got your hands on them, I am still waiting for them to show up over here. I really love the girls you got, I am loving the look of them! 🥰💖😍

Omg I love your look! Liked and followed on that alone!
Thank you so much. I had a haircut a few days before this video was shot, normally I look like a mess!
I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these. I think they are so cute. Enjoy yours.!
They seem to be very popular with people so far. Hope you manage to get one of these soon 🥰
She’s cute enough ❤ you’re very good at reviews❤
Thank you. And yes, she is definitely cute enough.
I have no idea why but I lost it when you told me my eyes are inside my hade. I´m wheezing.
The human body is a marvellous thing 👀
She is really pretty - I love her eyes 💘and the lollie pops are cute too 😊 Enjoy and thanks for sharing as i hadn't seen these dolls before 🥰
Thank you. Yes, she has lovely eyes. The fact that the eyes are inset really adds something to a doll I think, a more life-like quality.
Lol not the forehead selfie! Great review. These dolls are really cute. I want them all but I have to show some restraint.
I felt crazy buying two but I didn't want them to get lonely! Hopefully they will go on sale at some point.
😍😍😍😍😍
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I only found monster high dolls a month ago haven't found ILY small dolls yet. Love your channel

@@MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis 🥰
6:42 😂
I mean, they could have provided a selfie stick. Still, I'm sure she has a lovely forehead 😂
I’ve been so curious about these dolls.
I'd seen one or two videos about them so when I saw them in the Disney store (which I would not normally go in to at all) I HAD to get a couple.
She's very very pretty! I dont really like Disney stuff but I will get her if I find her!
Yeah, I'm the same. I like the clothes and accessories and the styling is pretty subtle that unless you know she is based on Tiana you wouldn't automatically guess by looking at her.

Yes! Check out my latest video where I try the ily 4EVER fashion pack on a variety of dolls including both a stock and fakey Blythe.
