Review of Lord Voldemort, Exclusive Design Collection, Wizarding World, Mattel 2023

"He who must not be named" 🤫
Today, our review is dedicated to him - the amazing Lord Voldemort - the second doll of the Exclusive Design Collection of the Wizarding World series from Mattel, dedicated to the incredible story of Harry Potter.
The packaging of Lord Voldemort corresponds to the style of the series. It is a bright, as if made of snakeskin, a box of dark green color, which unfolds like a book and presents us with the stern Lord Voldemort in an area surrounded by dark magic. Undoubtedly, fans of Potteriana will highly appreciate the creators' attention to detail, and even to the packaging of the doll.
On the back of the packaging, we can read the history of this series of dolls.
The package includes a stylish black certificate of authenticity and a "magic" triangle stand for the doll.

Needless to say, the doll turned out incredibly charismatic, characteristic and dynamic. It's hard to take your eyes off Voldemort - you want to examine and examine all the details of his appearance😍

Lord's face has a stern look thanks to the detailed sculpting and high-quality make-up in the shadow technique. The doll's skin tone also attracts attention, which, depending on the lighting, plays with shades from gray to slightly blue. Very photogenic facial features, in our opinion.

Among Voldemort's accessories is his lilac wand, which he holds in his detailed clawed gesturing hands.

For the sake of curiosity and for more detailed information on the character, we decided to compare the designer Voldemort with the Voldemort from the more budget release known to us:

And this is what we got: the mold is one and the same, the difference in facial expression is achieved only thanks to masterfully developed make-up by the designer Lord (but someone may like the "kinder" version more).
Magic wands and outfits in general are also different. But, agree, it is very interesting to have both handsome men in your collection, because they really look great together🤗

Meanwhile, we're back to exploring Voldemort's outfit from the Exclusive Design Collection, and it's a truly amazingly crafted set🐍💚
The dark bottle-colored witch's cloak is made of dense fabric that looks incredibly magical and expensive. The decoration is no less impressive: along the edges of the cloak, there is an insert in the form of a snake that twists and sparkles in the rays of light. Figured sleeves with small contrasting stitching on a black lining are worth special attention.

Under his cloak, Voldemort wears a long, floor-length shirt with a stand-up collar. The magic shirt looks no less chic than the cloak, because it is created in the same shade, and the fabric imitates the skin of a snake.
A thin velcro tape serves as a shirt fastener.
Below, Lord is dressed in pants with an elastic band in the waist, and, traditionally, walks barefoot.

The body type of the designer Voldemort completely coincides with the body type of the budget Voldemort, nothing new has appeared in this regard.

Movable head, two-part joints in the elbows and knees, the ability to raise and spread the arms and hips to the sides, articulated bones and fixed feet.
