I was wondering the same thing! Looks like the Princesses decided to skip Vinylmation and do their own thing hahahahah

[ShalalalalalaAriel]

who the hell is Kidada? I mean honestly who is she? Are the Dooney and Burke bags even selling that well?

Kidada Jones is an actress/model, the daughter of Quincy Jones and is also the designer of Disney Couture which sells high-end Disney jewelry that's worn by many celebrities from Lindsey Lohan to Nicole Richie. I have quite a few of her pieces and they are beautiful.

These are cute. If they had an Ariel one i would definitely buy them.

So they're Little People toys of the Princesses? I wonder how Fisher Price will react (if they're not involved).

Nothing really fisher price could say. They are different enough.

oh man...gonna want these too!

[runningstitch]

Call me crazy...but they almost look like Vinylmation that are shaped like Princesses...which would certainly address the problem of the Mickey figure being too round for them.

Love them!

[ZeldaBeast]

Well, it looks like I will have to get these for my girlfriend, she got pretty excited when I showed her that link. Thanks for the post.

It now appears that the "Wish a Littles" will have a charm necklace inside of each.

these are cute, but i'm not exactly sure what they are i might get one tonight though...or more than one...i have hardly any will when it comes to cute, little, disney things! hehe

[WDWgirl]

Interesting.

[scooby]

Cute, they are open edition and not LE so I think they will be available for a while. Wonder the price for each. They are a princess must have.

I am also very curious about the price on these. If it isn't too much, I'll probably pick up one of each... i agree - they are a definite princess must have

wow, these things are really expensive - $49.95. I wasn't expecting them to be anywhere near that price!

[Ghost Host]

Disney has lost their minds. 49.50 EACH???

I agree. It's just a string with a charm with a plastic figure that the head comes off. My child could help me it taking a plastic figure to come off.

[ShalalalalalaAriel]

yea, i am surprised at the high price too. i don't want them THAT badly!

[stitch1085]

These will certainly be clearance priced. I don't think Disney Store understands that people have become accustomed to low quality product imported from China at promotional pricing. Gone are the days when people would shell out this kind of money for a little knick knack such as this. There has been serious damage to the clientale that used to walk into Disney Store. Disney Store has become a Disney version of Toys R Us. They have definitely swung the pendulum too deeply into the children's arena and it will be a long tough road to getting it back to what it used to be, quality Disney products that appealed to collectors and children. Producing pieces like this will only worsen things because as someone mentioned "[They] don't want them that badly." And why would they? If Disney Store wants to succeed they need to cater to BOTH children and DISNEY FANATICS. I can certainly say that had these pieces (or any piece for that matter) been designed by the likes of a Miss Julie Andrews, or Jodi Benson, or even someone like John Lassater (someone who has clout in the Disney universe) this line of products may have a better chance. As I see it right now, this is Disney Store's attempt to make itself more boutique and less Disney. I had no idea who Kidada even was before this and after seeing the products and their prices I don't really care all that much.

Kidada has created a HUGELY sucessful Disney Couture line. Just because you haven't heard of her doesn't mean her line is any less quality. I have many of her necklaces and they are of amazing quality. If I could get these, I would and so would many people. They have been worn by celebrities, have appeared in many women's magazine and would appeal to both adults and kids. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they'll fail.

I am well aware of Kidada's success with the Disney Couture line. I am simply saying I don't feel that a designer for a COUTURE line belongs in Disney Store regardless if it's related to Disney. The couture line is typically sold in higher end boutiques etc. While this new line may be a lower price point I don't think Disney Store has the right audience, YET, to make this truly successful. And WANTING something is a far cry from actually buying it. Disney Store actually needs people to purchase it for it to be successful. Also I never said her product was of lesser quality I said that a line of products from a designer who is more associated with Disney (someone who has a LEGACY with Disney) may appeal just a bit better to the Disney collectors whom I imagine this line is aiming for.

I also want to explain I do not DISLIKE Kidada by any stretch! I just really feel that Disney Store's customer is not yet ready for something like this...just look at what happens to Vinylmation? Casual Disney Store consumers don't even understand that yet.

Oh they'll fail based on the scale they are releasing them at. The Wish a Little prices are ridiculous.
