Coronation Change Frozen Dolls

I'm not a megafan of Frozen. But it's a sister thing. So ever since it came out, I've been on the lookout for some really good dolls in honor of sisters. Short of the Disney Store Exclusive dolls, I didn't think I was going to find any that came anywhere close to my expectations. Then, I saw Coronation Change Elsa.

The store didn't have Anna, but I bought Elsa and kept looking. ELSA IS AWESOME. She comes with two outfits, her crown, and adorable bitty "ice" shoes. She's also very articulated and has a sweet face, for a regular store doll. (yay for no derp eyes!)

I searched and searched for Anna. I searched all over town. I searched all over the next town. I finally found one, lonely Anna at ToysRUs. I would have bought her, but I could tell that her hem stitching was coming undone inside of the box. That was a big no, for a fairly expensive (for me) toy. I ended up buying her from Amazon, and a week later, my Elsa had a sister to hang out with. Anna also comes with an additional outfit, a crown, and boots.
Elsa is a bit concerned about sunburn.

Anna is thrilled about the lovely, sunny Spring day

 The outfits are awesome! I am really impressed with the detail of these dolls, for the price bracket. I am planning to do a little bit of custom work to add my own flair to them, but right out of the box, they're not bad at all. The articulation is nice, albeit somewhat limited. They would benefit from a better body. However, they are a lot better than the stiff dolls I've seen with crossed eyes and molded-on clothes. They photograph well and have a lot of expression. I am overall, very happy with them.
