OK, this has been on my mind for a couple days, and then I saw a comment from PsychoPixie in another thread (which has been echoed by others) and I decided: That's it! I'll be the one to start the riot.
So, I've gone back and forth about collecting Frozen. I was intrigued, then I got discouraged by the pre-release hype, then I saw the movie and realized I love it more than I've loved a Disney movie for, um, ages. So I reconsidered collecting and even toyed with being a completist. Then I started searching out the pins and realized there are a bunch I just don't like (especially not for the amount of $$$). So I've now concluded that I'm going to collect Frozen, but under the same principle I've used with Alice: I'll collect the pins I really like, and no more.
All of which leads me to the point of this post: When can we expect some really *interesting* Frozen pins??? I know the movie's only been out for a week, and Disney probably wants to avoid merch that would amount to spoilers. BUT, looking around, most of the pins are variations on a theme: Anna/Elsa and Olaf. And while the Anna/Elsa pins are not identical poses (like at least three Olaf pins are), they are already looking a bit monotonous to someone who doesn't want to be a completist anyway.
So: a) For you more experienced traders/collectors, how long do you think it will be before the onslaught of different Frozen pins, and b) For people who want to collect Frozen, what's on your wishlist? (NOTE: This thread could end up containing spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie, and don't want to know ANYTHING, please stop reading!)
Here's mine (to start):
• Toddler Elsa and Toddler Anna ~ maybe even a "scene" of them building the original Olaf
• Toddler Kristoff and Baby Sven
• Anna in her Coronation Day outfit (which is SO pretty)
• Anna and Elsa on Coronation Day ~ If we're going to have another back-to-back sister pin, let's change it up at least! Even though Elsa's all buttoned up here, the two of them chatting together is a sweet moment
• Elsa in full Snow Queen regalia ~ I'm talking GLITTER ACCENTS, people! Enough with the enamel snowflakes when you've got all that sparkle to work with!
• Olaf in his "summer fantasy" mode (at least it would be different!). Maybe even a "scene" of the picnic, where Kristoff is holding the giant sandwich and looking totally baffled as to why he's there at all.
• Kristoff ~ More, more, more, period. There's only 1 pin w/him so far, and I personally hate it. His face is a blob.
• Kristoff and ... Someone I won't name for fear of spoilers
(Although I'm thinking DSF Valentine's Day???)
• Oaken!!!! Preferably waving a bottle of "suntan lotion of his own recipe"
Please join me in my overwrought state ... ;-)
