Zombified Alice, anyone? (OUAZ)

This is what I get for not keeping up with dollieh news: the same news, except 6 months later.
I've probably mentioned the Once Upon A Zombie dolls: zombified Disney princesses with huge awkward feet that were neither designed to fit in shoes, nor balance unaided on. Here's my Belle:


Her original clothes aren't quite as spooky.

There's also a web series a la Monster High, plus some promo art that includes zombified versions of prince Charming and Peter Pan. I'm holding my thumbs that eventually we'll see them as dolls as well, and once in a (zombie) while I'll check their site for news on the subject. There's been none so far, BUT yesterday I found out there's going to be a Zombie Alice in Wonderland! At least they presented a prototype at the NYC Toy Fair (in February!) - you can see her in this video, along with zombie Tinker Bell and zombie Pocahontas: 



I'm slightly annoyed I didn't find out until now. But yeah, if she actually comes out she'll probably be on my wish list this Christmas.

Also, if you're in the UK (I'm not): according to the OUAZ dolls are now available in Argos

  1. The prototypes look really great. How is the articulation on the one you have now?

    1. The articulation is pretty much identical to monster high. Here's a detailed review: http://www.toyboxphilosopher.com/2013/10/once-upon-zombie-rapunzel-doll-by-wowwee.html

  2. These dolls are beautiful! I really want to buy Rapunzel. I think she'd fit right in with my other monster dolls. Belle is gorgeous, too.

    I see you're a fan of Mommy and Gracie. Did you see their review of Neighthan Rot? I laughed my rear end off. They're a total riot.

    1. Rapunzel is lovely! If I'm honest I think she probably has the best color scheme. I've never really watched Mommy and Gracie, it's just they had the best pics of the OUAZ prototypes.
