Disney junior shows are so underrated. They did so good on her!

Hey Brooke, I've been a viewer for about a year. I never was into dolls but you are just such a relatable fun person that your videos turned out to be just what I needed when I was going through a hard breakup. Well after a year I'm still a regular viewer and I just got my first doll (Shanelle from shadow high) and I loved her so much that I ordered two more (Monique and Victoria)! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel. Your joy around your hobby is contagious.

a sophia the first collector doll would be so iconic

Elena is just so underrated it's so sad she really deserves a theatrical release

I actually have an Elena that’s the first of six thousand that I brought for a hundred eighteen months ago and she’s beautiful!

EVERY DAMN TIME I SEE HER IM REMINDED OF WHEN I WAS TOO SCARED TO ASK FOR HER WHEN SHE WAS ON SALE FOR $50 😭

This doll is proof to me that at least someone at Disney WANTED Elena to be successful. Unfortunately, because she's a TV character and they treat their television animation kind of crappy, she never got a real chance to be known. Even little kids at the time didn't know her because the show was so poorly marketed. Also, to be fair, the show came out at a WEIRD time. It premiered in 2016, a time when many were migrating to streaming but Disney+ didn't exist yet. Shows only hit streaming MONTHS after they aired and long after the hype for the season was over. Add in that it got tossed to Disney Junior, which is a premium channel that many people do not have even if they have cable and she was set up to fail, which is really sad.

The Disney juinor show she’s from is kinda interesting 🧐

Disney had a huge campaign for Elena since she was dubbed as the “first Latina Disney Princess” and a lot of the promotional stuff there was was very much playing around the idea that she would join the official princess lineup. Obviously she didn’t join but at Disney World she still has a face character meet and greet alongside the other princesses and she was recently referenced in the new Proud Family reboot (that just doesn’t happen with Disney Junior characters). I feel like all of that plays a part on why they decided to make a LE of her

She's my favourite princess ❤️ her show is so good, i love it with all of my heart ❤️

i love her and her show too

i had no idea she existed.. shes so cute 😩

So jealous ❤️😍

I have a sneaking suspicion that the fact the Elena LE doll didn’t do well and ended up being on clearance is why Disney stopped investing that much quality into their dolls. The following year dolls such as Mulan and Pocahontas were less ostentatious, still with gorgeous details but less “embroidery everywhere” and they began to use screen sprinting and large areas of non-manipulated fabric. Looking at the dolls in following years like 2019, the MO appears to be “one area of embroidery on the entire doll” taking for example Ariel (fins,) Vanessa (sleeves), or Tiana (neckline). It could also be because the original head of design for the years 2009-2016 Nomi Vela left the company and the job was taken over by Jess Fuchs who has a very different design style.

Hi Dolls 👋

Elena Doll.

I love your channel I love these kinds of dolls but I wish they were less money

I’m waiting for a Raya LE

I remember seeing this doll at the disney store here ( before it closed ) no one brought her. I had money to buy her, but I didn't because idk who this is.

I have this Elena on Amazon for 118 dollars by the way I love your channel

I like her more than Jasmin.

Im so early Arianna has tears left to cry, also that doll has existed for years.
