Pullip Snow White: Review



It took me awhile to realize that I actually wanted Pullip Snow White. I have always seen her around while shopping for dolls, and I'd always glance and her and think to myself how cute she was, only to pass her up. Well, I finally came around to getting her, but not without any trouble. It's a bit of a long story, but I basically had originally bought her off of amazon.com, but the seller landed up messaging me saying that they had lost her, and gave me a full refund. After that, I tried looking elsewhere and found a listing on Ebay that I felt was reasonably priced enough, only to get a message from that seller telling me that they didn't ship to APO addresses despite them not specifying that in their listing, and I got my money back from them. Just when I thought getting her just wasn't going to happen, lo and behold, Pullip Style had brought her back in stock, and for much less than what I was originally going to spend on her! So I bought her from there and of course, being as reliable as they are, they shipped her out fast and she arrived within a week! While I went through a lot of hassle for her, I'm so glad I didn't give up on her, because she truly is a lovely doll!



Pullip Snow White Comes With:

- Adjustable bow headband
- An apple shaped purse with beading and embroidery and a beaded handle
- Red and white dress complete with puffed sleeves, frills, lace, beading, ribbon threading and bows
- White tights
- Red pumps with and ankle strap
- Pullp Snow White's trading card
- Doll stand


Pros:

- Her faceup is much more unique than I thought it would be! She has red, brown, and green eye shadow, with lots of brown lashes and subtle streaks of silver lashes painted along the bottom half  her eyes. I never would have thought of using all of those colors together, but it works and looks nice. She also has rosy cheeks and  red lips that have just the right amount of color to them, not too sheer or too overwhelming.
- Her lids are painted a nice reddish-brown color that matches her red eye shadow!
- Her eye chips have a lot going lots of detail. They appear to be blue with lots of gray streaks surrounding the pupil and have yellow and white dots and lines painted on them to simulate the look of shine. It gives her a lively look!
- Her wig is such a pretty ebony and her curls are so cute! It's also very soft!
-  Her stock outfit and accessories have so many intricate details on them and are very opulent! They're definitely suited for a princess!
- Her shoes fit pretty well and don't slip or fall off!
- Type 4 body!
- Perfect working eye mechs that don't get stuck and aren't stiff! (May vary from doll to doll.)


Cons:

- Her stock has a lot of little pieces that can possibly fall off and get lost, so it would be a good idea to handle her stock as gently as possible.


Neutral:

-  Her wig has some frizz, but nowhere near as bad as most people tend to say. I was expecting it to be full-on frizz fest, like with Pullip Hannah's wig. I may have gotten lucky with that.
- There is some wig netting showing through, which is normally a bad thing, but you have to look really hard to see it, since it blends in very well with her wig. 


The Verdict:

Pullip Snow White is definitely a winner in my eyes! Though she does not look exactly like the Snow White most of us are familiar with, she is just as fair and beautiful! She has a very sweet and kind look that's perfect for the character she represents! Whether or not you are a fan of the story of Snow White, there is no denying how stunning she is! If you're planning on getting her, I highly recommend going through PullipStyle to buy her, because she's much more affordable there compared to the listings you might find on amazon and ebay.

Dal Sentimental Noon: Review


Dressed as a cute little clown with a red and white theme, Dal Sentimental Noon is a very eye-catching doll! At first, I thought she was based on a pierrot doll, but it turns out she is actually part of the Snow White series from back in 2012 and is supposed to be one of the seven dwarfs! (I wonder which one she's supposed to be? Happy? Possibly Dopey? Or maybe she represents one of the dwarfs from the Japanese version of Snow White.) Either way, there is no denying how cute she is! Even my own husband couldn't resist wanting her, and so we landed up buying her as his first doll! Thankfully, my husband was okay with me taking pictures and writing a review on her here!



Dal Sentimental Noon Comes With:

- Jester Hat
- Clown mask
- Ruffled pinstripe blouse with corset
- Red and white skirt with sequin detailing
- Tulle petticoat with lace trimming
- Red and white striped stockings
- Red and white ankle-strapped platform shoes
- Marionette
- Dal Sentimental Noon's trading card
- Doll stand


Pros:
-  Lovely red wig!
- Eye chips are a pretty deep purple!
- Nice faceup! She has silver eye shadow in her crease and black painted on lashes, scarlet blush, and salmon pink lips!
- Stock outfit is nicely made! It's pretty unlikely that it will tear or come undone.
- Her clown mask is really fun! You can place it around her hat, have her wear it over her face, or around her neck! It give you various posing options!
- Her marionette is an adorable and fun accessory!
- Great price! 


Cons:

- Very frizzy and messy wig. It was in pretty bad condition upon removing her from the box and took a lot of anti-frizz serum and combing to make it look nice. (May vary from doll to doll.)
- Her legs seem to be weak at the knees. She can't stand with her legs straight and bend under her weight. (May vary from doll to doll.)
- Her hat can mess up her hair a bit when putting it on or taking it off. It also doesn't have anything to keep it in place so it can fall off easily when moving or posing her.


Neutral:

- Her shoes are too big for her and her feet can slide out of them a bit, but they generally seem to stay on well enough and don't fall right off her feet.
- the chains on her marionette seem a little flimsy, but shouldn't break off unless you tug at them too hard.


The Verdict:

Dal Sentimental Noon is highly worth having! If you are a Dal lover, you surely need to add her to your collection if you haven't already! She's so precious and endearing, that it's hard not to smile when looking at her! There are also so many fun ways to pose her with the accessories that she comes with! Also, as far as Dals and Pullips go, she's a very good price! You can find her on pullipstyle.com listed for $98, or on amazon for even less! (Listings range from $55 to $75.)
