She-Ra and Shadow Weaver Comic Con two pack

Mattel's team did their usual nice work with these. They are prettier than the animation designs with very long hair and make up. Unlike the Dreamworks cartoon She-Ra does have lip color and eye shadow. Which I am again assuming is to make the dolls more appealing to the Disney Princess toy buying market. My opinion is there's probably a difference between the 25 year old Netflix demo watching the cartoon and getting children and She-Ra collectors to actually buy the toys.
She-Ra is the deluxe version of the standard release. Better fabrics, floor length metallic cape and super long hair that is nearly ankle length with strands of a kind of fiber optic looking glittery hairs mixed through. The skirt is made out of the same fabric as the original She-Ra doll which is a nice touch. This sword has glitter mixed through the blade. It's nicer looking than the regular one. I also didn't have the issue of the elbows sticking like on the other two She-Ra dolls.
Shadow Weaver is exclusive to the set. The main problem, like all the other dolls expect for She-Ra and Bow, is she is too short. Absolutely dwarfed by She-Ra. The fabrics are nice quality and the dress has that Morticia vibe going on with the little octopus like trim. The hair is very long and thickly rooted. It has a nice body and slight curl to it. Shadow Weaver as a character is supposed to float. The included stand doesn't really pull this off and she is kind of wobbly on it. She doesn't have shoes and cannot stand unassisted. I switched to a black Kaiser doll stand made for Barbies. Shadow Weaver never shows her face and the mask is unsurprisingly not removable. Her accessory is a plastic wisp of smoke which is kind of hard to get her to hold.
