Attractionistas dolls

I propose to plunge into the world of Disney again and learn more about the relatively new line of dolls - Attractionistas. They saw the light in 2015; each character is unique in its own way, although many see similarities with heroines from different lines (you may also notice them). They did not earn a large audience of fans, there are special reasons for this, which you will learn about a little later. In general, I suppose that the magical atmosphere of Disney plays an important role in any case, which can form a good opinion about each of its products. For Disney is the fairy tales we grew up on.

There are currently six female characters, although initially only four appeared (1 and 2 came out later, see picture below). Each character represents a specific Disneyland attraction that you can actually visit. And, in addition to the accessory, they come with companion animals. I also want to note that the price on the official site disneystore.com is $ 18, but I was surprised to find them, because another feature is that dolls are available for free purchase only in Disney parks.

Now I propose to take a closer look at the heroines. The list is compiled according to the opinions of the members of the Blog about Fashion Dolls at the time the first live photos appeared.

I noticed that the most popular was Gracey, the embodiment of The Haunted Mansion: haunted houses. According to her characterization, she likes the night, and the singing busts (in the haunted house) and the Master Spirit are like friends she has known for ages. I believe that her gothic image is a good "highlight" just for children who like dolls like MX, which today have just a huge audience. Among other things, the heroine is accompanied by a bat, which must try to scare: so cute look.

Next in line is Maddie, followed by a white rabbit. She loves head-spinning days of fun, which matches her attraction: Mad Tea Party as shown on https://dollfan.club. The basic idea is this: several cups are arranged in a circle; you sit in one cup, and when all the saucers begin to rotate in one direction in a circle, the cup rotates in the other around its axis. In addition, there are several such "circles", and you see that the rest are circling in a different direction. That's really really dizzying!

Then comes one of those who are least liked by the public: Celeste, which was deprived of an accessory, but did not forget about a pet-dog. Its prototype: Space Mountain, in which you have to ride through dark tunnels with bright colored rays, which personally reminded me of a hyper jump from Star Wars, and some moments from Doctor Who, and the very beginning from the movie "Tron". At the end of the article, I will leave a link to the video, thanks to which I made an opinion, I hope you will like it too.

The last heroine of the top four in popularity is similar to Celeste, few have accepted her. The main complaint is a strange skin color, too bright (even rather vigorous). And so, the girl's name is Pearl, an ardent adventurer who came out with her parrot and is a representative of the Pirates of the Caribbean. And although the name is similar to the popular film franchise, I hasten to note that this attraction was opened in 1967, long before Jack Sparrow appeared on the screens. The idea of ​​this place: take a boat ride with friends in the twilight, watching the fort with guns, streets at night, a pirate feast and much more.

I left two characters for last as they came out a little later than the others, a few months later.

I'll start with Carrie, a lovely lady with a puppy who loves to spend time with horses, and only next to them can she be found. Judging by its appearance alone, it may be difficult to guess, but its attraction is the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, or, more simply, a carousel.

And finally, Nellie, who came out with a tiger cub, and whose image is also not devoid of very bright colors. Her attraction is Jungle Cruise, which embodies an exploratory rafting on the rivers of Africa, Asia and North America. And, among other things, a replica of the water transport of British explorers of the 1930s is being created.

There are not many photos on the Internet that can be classified as "technical", but, in any case, the main points can be highlighted. Height is about 30 centimeters, no hinges. Only arms and legs are movable, the latter bend into clicks.

It is worth noting that many puppeteers have noticed similarities with characters from different franchises:

At the moment, no new characters have been released and it is not known whether Disney will develop the line. One of the foreign puppeteers noticed that now many companies are trying to "outperform" each other, coming up with more and more crazy ideas and attract attention. Humanization (turning objects or animals into people) is far from new, but still there is a place to be in pursuit of new fans and customers.

Does this doll series really have a good execution and a decent idea?
