Review of the Dumbledore doll, Exclusive Design Collection, Mattel 2023📿

Today we are reviewing the third doll from the exclusive designer collection Wizarding World: Harry Potter - the wisest Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore!🪄🔮
The distinguishing feature of the series is the designer packaging with embossing, which opens with the book and introduces us to the main character somewhere in the mysterious corridors of Hogwarts. On the back of the box - the history of the series.
The package includes an exclusive triangular stand with magical symbols and a black designer certificate of authenticity.

Albus is dressed in his trademark attire, and on his hand is the cursed ring of Marvolo Gaunt with the Resurrection Stone. The ring is molded and not removable.
There is protective plastic on Dumbledore's face, which prevents damage to the make-up of the doll with golden plastic glasses. It is necessary to remove this protection as carefully as possible, because it is attached together with the cap with plastic pins on the sides of the head, and during cutting, you can accidentally cut off a strand of hair.

Dumbledore's face, despite the rather simple make-up in the powder technique, looks incredibly realistic thanks to the detailed mold, which includes age wrinkles, bags under the eyes, etc. The face is very photogenic from all angles.

This is what Albus looks like without a hat and without glasses😊

Dumbledore's hair has two shades: platinum "grey" interspersed with strands of warm blond. The hair is very well stitched, soft, docile, unvarnished, but slightly broken after wearing the headdress. The partition looks beautiful and high-quality. And also - the doll has a very interesting profile☺️ In our opinion, it will be much easier to portray this Dumbledore and Gandalf the White))) So, the potential of the doll is very big😉

Special attention should be paid to Albus's gorgeous beard and mustache😍 It's just a barber shopper's dream, because sewn-in hair gives incomprehensible options for how to braid or tuck in that beard. The only thing - specifically in the case of our Albus - is not a sufficiently symmetrical division of the mustache into two sides above the lips.

Dumbledore's designer outfit delights with its detailing 😍 The stormy sky cloak is embroidered with magical silver embroidery, has a hood with a bone and fastens at the waist with a silver button.

Underneath the cloak is a long light blue shirt with a stand-up collar, shaped sleeves and an interesting choice of fabric textures.
The shirt fastens with a thin velcro on the back.

The wizard is wearing high, black, detailed boots:

Dumbledore's body in terms of physique and mobility is very similar to the body of the well-known Albus with a plastic beard. The cardinal difference is only the placement of the head on the neck. Exclusive Dumbledore has a longer neck at the head, which seems to "put on" the neck part of the body. At the same time, the head is movable, unlike the old-style Kens from the 90s.

A few comparative photos of the appearance of the old and new Dumbledores. Pay attention to the neck, the difference is clearly visible.

If there is a desire to make Dumbledore more flexible - the skin tone of the red-haired handsome man BMR1959 is perfect for hybridization on the Made to Move body. Regardless of the elongated neck, Dumbledore's head is put on the body of the MTM without any additional manipulations, except for warm-up. You don't need to cut anything.
In addition, the head retains full mobility

Thank you for your attention and we look forward to your feedback about the coolest wizard in Hogwarts!🪄✨
Which version of Dumbledore do you like best?☺️
