    Gotta agree there. These look as fake as a European Dollar bill. Disney never lets anything hit the shelves without their logos slathered everywhere.

    Some bright spark's cashing in on the years idiotic parental-slave hive-mind rush.

    Anyone dumb enough to buy 'em (or to have allowed their kids reach the stage of making parental lives hell for not getting the right ones) has earned the result.

    I'm far from an expert on 'Frozen', but if you search Amazon for example for the same dolls you can clearly see a difference.

    The fact it doesn't even say 'Disney' on the box and that it's being sold in a newsagents is dodgy.

    I'm unable to post a link.

    But I'd avoid these.

    Yes you're right!
    These will not have passed any safety standards/regulations !
    Potential danger for young kids !

    Here's the thing, will a demanding child know the difference between the real thing on Christmas morning and a copy?
    Chances are they won't.
    Then when more become available, go out and replace it with a genuine one if you wish. Or the child might be perfectly happy with her copy version.
    Once it's safe for children to oaky with, what's the big issue.
    Makes much more sense than overpaying

    But what about when the child's doll is different to their friend's doll? Children aren't stupid. They'll realise something is up before their friends mention it.

    Besides, the parent would know it's fake. That would sit right with me personally. Rightly or wrongly.

    This is what the real Disney snow glow doll looks like. These are totally out of stock in the UK stores and they costing well over £60 to buy them in ebay but there are the genuine ones.
