Opening American Girl Disney Princess Moana Doll!!!
Introduction
I am beyond excited to share that I finally have the Moana doll from the Disney Princess American Girl collection! As a huge fan of the first Moana movie and the music from it, this addition to the collection is thrilling for me. After a wait that felt like forever due to the pre-order process, I’m thrilled to unbox her and share my thoughts!
Unboxing Experience
The doll arrived beautifully packaged. The front of the box showcases a bright blue design featuring Moana, while the sides bear the American Girl and Disney logos. Upon opening the box, I was immediately struck by how stunning Moana looks out of the box. She features the Karin mold, has gorgeous brown eyes, and wears her hair in a striking black color. Additionally, she has a unique skin complexion that has a deeper red undertone, which resembles Addy’s undertone but on a tan-skinned doll.
I had to wait a while to get my doll, and I felt like one of the last fans to receive her. Other fans received their dolls earlier, which only heightened my anticipation. Despite some rumors about production delays, I am just grateful to finally have her!
This doll retails for $ 135, similar to other Disney princess dolls in the American Girl collection. I recommend ordering her sooner rather than later, especially with the holiday season approaching.
The Doll’s Details
Once out of the box, it was evident that Moana is gorgeous and full of detail. However, there was some noticeable shedding from her hair — I wouldn’t recommend unboxing her on carpet as I did! The shedding reminded me of a recent barber visit due to how much hair came out.
Moana’s accessories include a beautiful necklace that is not the heart of Te Fiti from the movie, along with two arm bands. The outfit itself is high quality, with the top and skirt designed as one piece. While she doesn’t come with shoes, the details in her outfit are impressive.
Her hair has been a topic of discussion among collectors, and upon inspection, I can confirm that the wig is quite similar to the textured wig used on other American Girl dolls, which means maintenance would be similar. If done right, the hair can look gorgeous and full of life.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I am ecstatic about adding Moana to my collection. She is stunning, a great representation of the character, and I hope American Girl continues to create dolls inspired by popular Disney princesses. Characters like Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, and even Alice from Alice in Wonderland would be fantastic additions!
For those who are interested, Moana is available on the American Girl website — definitely a must-have for fans of the movie!
