One of, if not THE most accurate to the movie doll I have ever seen!, December 15, 2005
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: The Corpse Bride 12" Fashion Doll (Toy)
I am a HUGE Corpse Bride fan, and this doll did not disappoint me one bit! She looks exactly as Emily should look in doll form, which is no easy task since her movie "doll" was extremely detailed. The fashion doll has "real" hair, and it's stringy like her character's hair, but it's also very soft. Her face is exquisitely detailed, and she has the most beautiful expression that simply must be seen to be believed.
Her veil is made of the same slightly transparent, frayed fabric as her skirt and has a swirling gray pattern printed on it. Her bodice is made of a more detailed fabric with a brocaded texture, just as it was in the movie, and also has very narrow shimmering strings woven into it. It also has tiny beads at the top and bottom of the bodice, and the four bones of her rib cage are sculpted to create a 3D effect.
Just like in the movie, she has one skeleton arm and leg and one skin arm and leg. Her skeleton joints are far more flexible than her skin ones and can move in almost any direction, while her skin arm only moves up and down and her skin leg doesn't move at all.
She has torn pieces of fabric on her arms just like in the movie, but the shape of the two pieces of fabric are also sculpted onto her arm underneath them, I guess to hold them in place since they don't have much glue keeping them there.
She comes with a stand, but not a very good one. It's the kind with two tiny pegs in it that you have to insert into two tiny holes in her feet. After I used the stand a lot, one of the pegs broke off and it stopped working. I'd recommend getting a wire doll stand instead because the one she comes with doesn't work very well.
Overall, this is one of the most beautiful dolls I have ever seen, and her only flaw is that her skin leg does not move at all. If you are a collector or a fan of the movie, it is very much worth your money and Amazon's default picture does not do it justice.

This review is from: The Corpse Bride 12" Fashion Doll (Toy)
This doll is sooo pretty and she looks just like Emily in the movie and that is rare to find a doll that looks just like the character it's portraying. I think that any kid would love this doll if they loved the movie.

This review is from: The Corpse Bride 12" Fashion Doll (Toy)
I purchased the Corpse Bride 12" doll and the Victor 12" doll for my daughter who is five and loves the movie. She went crazy for the dolls when she got them. I have to say they are well done in the way they replicated the characters in the movie. However, they are very delicate and really cannot withstand child play. These dolls are for looks only. Within a week of purchase my daughter, who has never broken a toy broke the head off the bride and a hand off Victor in the same day. Repairs with superglue and a glue gun could not repair it. She was heart broken.
