Title: [ID: Little Mermaid, Ariel's Sister "Arista"] Mermaid Disney Doll
Post by: TheMinorityof1990 on Tuesday 21 August 2012, 05:13 pm
My computer doesn't want to let my camera connect to it right now, so until I get it fixed, I'm going to rely on description only.

I have this mermaid doll. On the back of her head, it says Disney China. She's got feet, so her fins at the bottom of her are floppy. Her entire outfit is a shiny torqiouse (sp) colour. Her top part is a bikini top. She has a bow in her hair of the same metiral (sp), which has a pink rose in the middle. She has "big" hair, all blonde and curly. Her eyes are bright blue, and she's smiling so that her teeth are showing.

She can twist from the waist and her arms and legs move.

Anyone know what she's called?

It could be one of Ariel's sisters.  What size is the doll?  Like Barbie size or smaller?  They've made several dolls for her sisters.

Andrina and Arista are the blonde sisters.

Turquoise outfit and the doll has feet?  That's interesting...  Aquata would be the only one Disney would dress in blue/turquoise, and she got lightish brown hair.  I also can't think of why they would put feet on

Is it possible that it's a Disney doll dressed in a Mermaid Barbie outfit?  Like this Mermaid Barbie from the 1990s:

The one on the right looks a lot like mine, except with loose straight hair, not curly. Same sort of face.
Edit: I took her fins off, but there's no label anywhere inside that I can see. And yes, she does have feet. I'll ask Mum about her.

Thanks for your help :)

I asked Mum, and she said the doll was one of Ariel's sisters. I went looking but couldn't find anything concrete. However, I do now think that maybe she's Melody, Ariel's daughter?

Ariel's daugher Melody has jet black hair like Eric.

Oh, well there goes my theory. This is really odd. Know what's even odder? I've just realised, I don't actually remember this doll at all. If it wasn't for the fact that it's here, I doubt I would have ever remembered it.

I think it's the Tyco Undersea Party Arista doll. She has a blue outfit. Ariel has a pink one.
