2017 D23 Expo Day 3 - Sunday July 16 - In Disney Store - Rags Snow White LE Doll

            10:45 am.  In the Disney Store.  Rags Snow White 17'' Doll (LE 6500, $119.95).  Preview display doll, available August 1, 2017.  She was on a high shelf, so it was difficult to get good photos of her.

Today was the third and last day of the 2017 D23 Expo. I got to the Anaheim Convention Center today at about 6:45 am, and got to the shopping line in the second floor of Hall A at 7 am. Then the line started moving at about 9:15 am, and I got to the end of the Disney Store line at 9:30. The CM said the estimated wait time was 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The line moved much more quickly than on Friday or Saturday, probably because their was very few high demand items left to purchase. I actually got into the store at 10:24, in less than an hour. 

I started to browse the store, to see what they had left. There were no more LE dolls to be had. However, there were still plenty of Designer Collection lithograph, pin and ornament sets on the shelves. I got a spare Designer Lithograph set. The only Designer mug left was for 101 Dalmations. There was also LE pin sets for Minnie Mouse and Art of Snow White in stock. I decided to get one each of the Designer bags and purses (for TLM, Tangled and 101 Dalmations) because they were so pretty, even though I would never use them. They had an LE 300 wooden Anna and Elsa figure set, but I passed on them since they weren't that impressive, and were $60. I got a Rey/Kylo Ren LE action figure set. I got #82 of 1000. I took more photos of the August 1 releases of Rags Snow White and the Prince. I also took a couple of closeups of the Platinum Snow White. At checkout, I got the PWP Snow White and Tsum Tsum Mary Poppins pins (LE 3000, $5 each). I checked out my goods at around 11 am.

Then I took some photos of the women's gowns made for Disney live action films. The exhibit was entitled Fantastical Fashions, presented by Walt Disney Archives. There were six costumes on display, three of heroines on one side of the stage (Giselle, Belle and Cinderella), and three villains on the other side (Red Queen, Maleficent and Cruella De Vil). I was glad that they weren't behind glass, so I could take decent photos of them without glare and reflections.

Next I saw the Star Wars Land exhibit, at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts booth. It was entitled Galaxy of Stories, and the new land in DLR and WDW is to be called Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The centerpiece of the exhibit was a scale model of the new land. It was hard to take clean photos of the model because of all the people trying to do the same thing.

While I was in line for the Star Wars Land exhibit, a local collector friend of mine met me. He sold me his spare D23 Mulan doll set for a great price, that I had missed getting on Friday. I got #451 of 523. I took a few photos of the set. Because of the orange colored carpet, the photos have an orange tint to them, especially on the reflective surfaces.

After that I browsed some smaller merchandise booths. First was Besame Cosmetics, which showcased their new Disney Snow White: The 1937 Collection. The color palette used for the cosmetics line was based on the actual paint colors used in the original animation cels. The packaging and artwork also reflected the style of the original animation. They gave out a free old style newspaper tabloid sheet promoting the collection.

Next was the Thomas Kinkade Studios. They had lots of their Disney artwork for sale. Also they had two enormous framed reproductions displayed on the side of their booth. One was of Cinderella, the other was of Beauty and the Beast.

Then I met up with another collector friend of mine.  I bought the Designer Blue Fairy doll set from him for a great price, that I had missed out of getting on Friday, and some other items.

I left with a big haul of merchandise, which I will post photos of shortly. I had a very successful Expo, obtaining everything I wanted, without having to resort to eBay.
