Pink or Blue? Now You Can Have Both!
Back in July, Disney Store introduced a Limited Edition Sleeping Beauty doll clad in her signature pink gown. And now, thankfully, they’ve announced the upcoming release of a new Limited Edition Sleeping Beauty doll, dressed in her signature blue gown. Disney fans no longer have to agonize over the age-old question, “Pink or blue?” Disney Store will also release two additional Limited Edition Dolls: the gallant Prince Phillip and the wickedly iconic villain, Malificent. The dolls will be available in select North American Disney Stores, beginning Tuesday, October 7 and at DisneyStore.com beginning Wednesday, October 8. European Guests can find release information and pricing by visiting their local Disney Store Facebook page.
