I was minding my own business in Toys R Us yesterday shopping for a little boy’s birthday present, when I found myself accidentally browsing the collectible dolls aisle. Oops. I was stunned by this gorgeous faithful representation of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. This doll is “Dark Beauty Maleficent.” Here she is in her collector box….
I am blown away by this gorgeous Cinderella Suite of Dreams roombox dollhouse miniature. It’s been painstakingly created in 1:12 scale. The diorama includes Cinderella’s bed, vanity, a dress form with a gorgeous pink and white dress on it, and a small etagere. This roombox is from The Carole and Barry Kaye Museum of Miniatures….
Pullip’s new Dahlia doll for Summer 2013 depicts Cinderella as a peasant girl. She wears a German style flowery, lacy peasant skirt; a black bodice; simple bonnet; apron and hosiery. Also available on Amazon! Wait til you see the other dolls in Pullip’s Cinderella collection for 2013!
Pullip’s Snow White is a frothy Gothic-Lolita take on the fairy tale heroine. She wears a fluffy, ruffly red-and-white lacy dress, and carries a felt apple pincushion-style purse. (It’s trimmed in lace, naturally). Her long flowing black hair is decorated with a gigantic red ribbon. And for some reason she felt the need to wear…
I never can resist fairy tale dolls – especially when they’re a bit on the darker side. This is a Monster high doll repainted and redressed to depict Little Red Riding Hood. Made by a Polish artist, she comes with her own pet wolf cub accessory. Click here to see more pics of this adorable…
I love the gothic costuming and headpiece on this Snow White evil queen doll. But I don’t like her hideous turquoise eye makeup and the pout on her face. She needs redder lipstick, too. I guess this is just what happens when you use a baby doll to make a wicked queen, instead of an…
I’m entranced by this enchanting Barbie and Ken Arabian Nights boxed set of dolls. Ken wears a gorgeous red-and-gold brocade tunic; and Barbie is attired in a flowing purple and teal brocade and gauze gown. The boxed gift set of two dolls is also available on eBay.

This lovely ethereal Snow Queen Madame Alexander is ten inches tall, based on the Cissette face. She wears faux pearls and feathers on her headpiece and has a faux pearl necklace as well. Her satin robe is accentuated with silver sequins, and trimmed with white feathers. There’s another doll like this for sale here as…
I’m sort of disappointed with Monster High’s new Scarily Ever After fairy tale dolls. They’re too.. colorful.. not dark or spooky enough. The series features werewolf daughter Clawdeen as “Little Dead Riding Wolf”, Frankie Stein the daughter of Frankenstein as “Threadarella,” and Dracula’s daughter Draculaura as “Snow Bite.” Monster High “Threadarella” Monster High “Snow Bite”…
These Mother Goose Standups aren’t quite “paper dolls” as you don’t dress them. You cut them out and arrange them into little scenes while acting out the nursery rhymes. This set of Grimm’s Fairy Tales mostly features Snow-White and Red Riding Hood. Hansel & Gretel features charming children and a not-too-spooky witch’s gingerbread house. It’s…
