Disney is releasing two new limited edition Designer Dolls featuring Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Charlotte La Bouff from The Princess and the Frog. These collectible figures are part of the second year of the Dance Series, which focuses on storytelling through movement and vintage dance poster aesthetics. Ariel will be available online on October 23 at 8 a.m. PT, while Lottie is already in select theme park shops with an online launch date of October 30. The dolls feature original couture gowns designed by J. Fuchs, including underwater ballet-inspired elements for Ariel and a Mardi Gras-themed southern belle look for Lottie. Pricing and specific edition sizes have not yet been announced, but collectors are advised to be ready at launch time due to the limited nature of these releases.
