Disney Store announced today the worldwide debut of the Princess Designer Doll Collection. As part of the D23 Expo Legends of Disney Awards ceremony, the honorees whose extraordinary voices brought to life many modern-day Disney Princess’ were presented with a designer doll matching the character they voiced in the movie.
The honorees included:
• Jodi Benson (Ariel from The Little Mermaid)
• Paige O’Hara (Belle from Beauty and the Beast)
• Lea Salonga (singing voices of Jasmine from Aladdin and Mulan from Mulan)
• Linda Larkin (speaking voice of Jasmine from Aladdin)
• Anika Noni Rose (Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog)
Each of the ten classic dolls are dressed in a glamorous runway inspired gown that comes in its own special collector case with a sleeve that showcases the beautiful sketch art created for each one. D23 Expo guests are the first to see these beautiful dolls—expected to be one of the most sought after items this holiday season. Only a limited number of complete sets were available for pre-purchase at the D23 Expo, in addition to a special limited edition 25th Anniversary silver Cinderella. Starting Monday, Aug. 22, 2011, one new Disney Princess Designer Doll will arrive in stores each week for ten weeks in a random order not to be revealed to guests until each Monday when they go on sale.
