From the Workshop: Alternate Princesses Supplement
Posted by Lindsay
What follows is a quick photo essay regarding the Disney Princess dolls previously reviewed here. I wanted to make a further case for how great these dolls are once you get them out of their cheap glittery frou-frou.
Without further ado, here are some Princesses never released by the Disney Pink Glitter Machine.
