Fun in Wicked Wonderland

No structured review here, just a photo dump and babbling. 

I had no real interest in Wicked Wonderland, because while I enjoyed Rise of Red, I found myself not hanging onto the characters over time as much as I did with the original trilogy. I did keep my Chloe and Uliana dolls, but that's it. 

So imagine my surprise when I liked Wicked Wonderland A LOT more. The characters were more fun. There was no stupid time travel, but it was nice to see the consequences of said time travel. 

Mostly though, I was here for the hook. I rolled my eyes initially at yet another Hook sibling. Harriet, CJ, Harry and now Hazel? But then she came onscreen and it was love. Hazel is such a fun character. Loved her design and her actress has an amazing face. Obviously, I had to have her doll. 

Mattel is not my favorite for Descendants. They try to capture the actors, but then they also seem to make the heads and features too big. Hazel's actress has smaller eyes and that's part of what makes her facial structure interesting. Here they're too big. All of her features are too big. But she's still pretty and it's one of only two pieces of merchandise for her. 

I normally hate that sort of topknot, but in the movie, it wasn't bad. Here it's a bit too big. 

They tried to do the gold in her hair, but I wish they'd done more. 

She's such a sass bomb. I think she's actually my fourth fave after Carlos, Harry and Mal. If she got more screentime, she might beat Mal.

 

She's going to end up on my living room favorites shelf. She's actually already there, but it's not fully set up yet. 

Chloe was not my favorite this movie. I remember liking her a lot more last time. She was too whiny and pouty. She had some good points, but Max had a far better reason to have a grievance with Red. 

This VK look though! Gorgeous!

I like her main outfit a lot, but the doll wearing it is not the best. I saw her in Walmart and all of them have horrible faces. Here she still has a bigger head and features, but it works better. 

I think the evil bracelet was on the other hand in the movie, wasn't it? 

Love the painted nails.

BOOT DAGGER.

Something she also has in good princess form. It's not just an evil thing. 

Details!

This is lovely. 

Weapons are a girl's best friend. 

Hazel is super cute here!

I sold my Rise of Red doll, but I loved this look from the finale of the new movie, so she was the one I picked, even though she was the "surprises" version, so she's less articulated. 

I like this outfit a lot. 

And I really love her hair!

I'll probably get the Max set eventually and maybe I'll body swap the Red dolls. 

All three ladies. I would love to add regular Chloe but I just can't with how she looked in store, and Pink wasn't great either, though if she went on sale, I'd definitely buy her. I liked her in the movie. Max will end up here eventually. Again, would love a sale, but they just came out. 

I did get some of the mini figures and ended up with Red, Chloe, Pink and Luis. How did Luis not get a doll? I'll have to order more because I NEED Hazel.
