Frozen Fever Elsa & Anna
Maker: Bullyland
Price: $8.84 each (includes S&H)
The Frozen Fever figures are brand new, coming out in mid December 2015. I bought them from a German seller but they seem to have reached the UK now based on what I’ve seen on eBay. They’ve put out Anna, Elsa, Olaf and Sven, of which the last two make no sense. Sven is lighter in color and Olaf is wearing his “In Summer” hat. Kristoff would have been a much better figure but no such luck…yet! *fingers crossed* You can purchase them individually, in 2-packs and a complete set.
I stuck with Anna and Elsa as they’re the ones I wanted. Anna is 10cm (4”) tall while Elsa is 10.5cm (4.5”). The material feels like a mix of soft rubber/plastic. Some parts, like the arms are pliable, meaning I can bend it, but other pieces, like Elsa’s cape, are translucent and stiff. Both easily stand upright and arrived sealed in clear plastic bags.

Anna is the star of these two because of the attention to her dress! The sunflowers are beautifully painted and exquisite in detail; two other patterns are displayed through raised, embossment and the dress pocket edges are painted. The vest front they covered up with a bouquet of sunflowers, but as these are hand painted, all the detail on her vest and corset would be hard to replicate. The vest back has a small sunflower and 2 more embossed patterns. Her hair is styled and her comb and ribbons are painted down the back. The colors are spot on and her expression is sweet with light blush.
Elsa’s flaws lay in the dress's poor gradient shading and her face. Now, I may have gotten a less than stellar figure because I bought these online and couldn’t pick one out myself. Her lips are a bit stilted and a medium shade between the two on the dress would’ve helped, but that’s about it. Her hair is beautifully styled in a messy braid with pink flowers and she holds a large flower in one hand. The bodice does ok replicating her dress pattern with the flowers clearly pulling it together. I love the train though! Bullyland redesigned it to match the short, so it has the correct pattern, color and various flower motifs. She displays best from an angle so you can capture the back.
Conclusion
These are worth the high price in my opinion, both as collectors’ items and for play. As they’re made from PVC free materials, they’re less toxic than our American toys. Gotta love the Europeans for putting safety before profit, not that I don’t love my old and new PVCs! You can find them on Amazon although you’ll pay more than purchasing them through a foreign seller on eBay.
