Review: Ladybug and Cat Noir: The Movie "Marinette at the Grand Ball" Fashion doll from Playmates Toys

Today's review was requested by @totallovestrucksimp. Thanks for being my first requested review!

The doll I'm reviewing today is the Marinette doll based off the upcoming Miraculous movie (which my sister and I have been waiting for it to release for like 4 years). Whether the Summer 2023 release date is true or not, I have absolutely no idea, but with the movie finally getting merchandise and trailers, I'm crossing my fingers.

Marinette retails for $34.99.

I absolutely love the presentation of her box! It shows off her gown, and I really like the contrast of the dark blue sky, the yellow background, and her red dress. Plus, Marinette isn't in a dynamic pose in her box like the other dolls, so If you were to leave her in the box, you wouldn't have to worry about her limbs warping or contorting weirdly over time.

Out of the box, she comes with a red mask, and the catalogue I mentioned in my Vesperia review, which shows off other available products.

Marinette has 15 points of articulation, with movement at her:

Head

Shoulders

Double-jointed elbows

Double-jointed knees

She's quite solid, and her joints are a decent tightness. Her head can only move side to side, but I believe that is only a fluke on my doll.

Marinette also has her molded underwear painted a shimmery red, which matches her earrings and mask.

Marinette's dress is stunning! It's an almost pink shade of red, with a satin bottom layer, topped by three layers of red tulle with black spots, evoking the look of Ladybug's suit. The bodice has silver dots and trim, along with silver tulle sleeves. It flares out very nicely on it's own, but a petticoat would make it flare out even more!

The only downsides is that the satin layer wrinkles very easily and holds creases, and that the thread she was packaged with left holes in the skirt and wings.

Her accessories include a pink fabric flower attached to her bun, her Miraculous, red earrings with black spots, a white plastic pearl necklace, and glittery pink flats.

While I do feel like the concept dress, which was a white dress with a tiered skirt and pink trim with butterflies and Marinette's flower motif feels more like "Marinette", this dress is still absolutely stunning.

On the back of her gown, Marinette has four delicate silver tulle wings with swirly designs on them. They're so pretty, but they have holes punctures in them from the threads holding them in place in the packaging.

Here you can also see her dress opens with velcro. From the original promotional images, I had thought she was sewn into it, so it's a pleasant surprise to see.

Marinette has blue eyes, vibrant blue hair, glittery purple eyeshadow, and pink lips and blush. The glitter does shed, so be careful handling her (the poor girl has glitter in her left eye!).

Her hair is twisted up into a high bun, with sideswept bangs on both sides of her part, and two tendrils framing her face.

I think she has a very sweet, innocent expression. She uses the same face sculpt as the series Marinette doll, which I think makes her resemble Marinette in the series more than Marinette the movie, who has a younger appearance, and almost pouty lips.

I think her eyebrows are a massive improvement from the series Marinette doll, who has thin line eyebrows, which often look angry.

Here you can see her Miraculous and the flower in her hair better.

The flower is pink, with black leaves, and yellow stitching. It is attached to a blue rubber band, which I believe is a different elastic than the one holding her hair in place.

Her Miraculous is a more shimmery plastic than the series Ladybug dolls. I'm curious if the movie will explain why her earrings aren't in camouflage mode (plain black), or if they even have a camouflage mode in the movie.

Marinette's flats are essentially a glittery version of her everyday flats. They are an almost purple shade of pink, and have a delicate black bow painted on the toes. I love these shoes! They're the closest we've gotten to a series-accurate pair of Marinette's flats! I will say, it feels odd for her to be wearing her everyday flats with this elegant ballgown. I'm curious if she wears these flats with her gown in the movie?

Like her eyeshadow, Marinette's flats also shed.

Lastly, her mask. It is the same mold as the other removable Ladybug masks, but in a shimmery plastic. Unfortunately, I can not seem to get it to stay on her face. It keeps popping off. Even if it did fit, I couldn't see myself using it too often, as I like showing off her makeup. I like having her hold it, though.

Overall, Marinette is a gorgeous doll, with a stunning outfit. I'm so happy to have her in my collection, and her dress and face truly make up for the shortcomings in her mask and how she was attached to her box.

I give Marinette a solid A+. I hope Playmates will continue making products for the movie, I'd love to see a matching Grand Ball Adrien, as well as Marinette and Adrien in their regular outfits with new face sculpts (the movie Ladybug's sculpt is so pretty!).

Thanks again to @totallovestrucksimp for requesting this review!

Miraculous Ladybug Superhero Secret Marinette (2021)

[manysad]

Thank you to everyone on the miraculous fanworks discord for brainstorming this thing with me.

So, the idea behind the au (which was spawned from a train of thought that's perfectly coherent to me but I'm not going to try to explain it) is that all the sentibeings created by Emilie and everyone after her are modeled as living inanimate objects (or rather, animate objects) instead of organics- Duusu's too incoherent to tell them that they can make humans.

From here there's multiple variants about how it all goes down but this is what I'm going with:

Emilie instead decided to focus on being a good cool aunt and/or godmother to kids that already exist. Like her good friend Andre's daughter, who seemed to be having a rough time of it and didn't really have any equal playmates or adults to pay attention to her. Since Emilie can only do so much and be around so often, she decided to use the peacock to make Chloe a little shoulder angel- so she wound up making Adrien anyway, as a plush cat. (He's mentally about the same age as Chloe with whatever voice coming out of his mouth reflecting that, but slightly more mature by design.) After a month or so preparing Adrien, she sneakily left him with Chloe and just let the two bond naturally. (The amok is a golden bell which she put in a box in the safe- Gabriel knows about it and knows what it is and while he didn't really understand why she did any of this he respected her decisions.)

Now, Amelie and Colt found out about this and Colt naturally insisted he be allowed to make himself a son. Colt does not have any imagination whatsoever so he just copies what Emile did, so his son is a plush cat. Duusu's still in no state to tell him that he could've made a human boy. Colt hates his son just as much as Amelie decided to love him. Felix is quite possibly more miserable than in canon.

Meanwhile, Tomoe, who IS creative, made Kagami as a life size porcelain doll, (think Battle Angel Alita)

So that way Kagami could be a fencing prodigy just the way Tomoe wants her to be. Her life is the least different between the three, but she is fully aware she's not human and hides her face in public.

As for how the plot goes down:

Adrien and Chloe grow up together, the list of people who know about Adrien being alive is pretty short but it does include anybody close to Chloe, so Andre, Sabrina, and even Marinette. He had some bad experiences early on (falling asleep out in the open in Chloe's room and getting put in the washing machine by staff because he was dusty, for instance. It wouldn't hurt, he can't really feel anything worse than extreme discomfort, but it would still be scary.) so he tries to avoid being seen at all by people he doesn't already know if he can help it.

Since Chloe can accurately be described as a good person now, having multiple people in her life care how she turns out did wonders, she passes Fu's test and is chosen to be the black cat. He slips the box into her purse (where Adrien also happens to be).... but she never finds out. Debris from Stoneheart smacks her in the head and she's knocked completely unconscious. Adrien and the box go tumbling out of her bag- since Chloe obviously can't wield the ring this way, and it's not like Fu ever tells him anything anyway, as the only conscious sapient being in the area Plagg gives Adrien the rundown and tells him how to transform, telling him that there will be a partner and that partner will have the power to reverse all the damage, so Chloe will be fine.

The transformation fully changes Adrien so that, for all intents and purposes, while he's transformed as Chat Noir he is a human (plus some cat features) and has no visible differences from how he looks in canon. (The same will go for Argos and Ryuko.)

Fu never double checks anything so going forward he thinks that Chloe is Chat Noir and just has some gender stuff going on. He's never around for any instances where Chloe and Chat Noir would be in the same physical space at the same time that couldn't be explained by other phenomena. He'd probably have a conniption if he found out the truth.

Pamela

Element: Magic

Specie: humanoid rag doll

History: Pamela, an ordinary rag doll, was purchased by Kaossandra as a birthday present for her son, Kaos. Over time, the shadow portal master used Pamela as a test dummy for magic and experiments, a throwing toy, and even a dog toy. One day, the Dark Lord decided to use Pamela in an attempt to bring things to life through magic, but it went awry, leaving him furious and discarding the doll in the trash. Miraculously, magic brought Pamela back to life, transforming her into a humanoid rag doll. Despite being alive, Pamela sought companionship and playmates. One afternoon, she encountered a criminal named Eye Five fighting with the Skylanders. Innocent and curious, Pamela thought it was a game and joined in, showcasing her fighting skills as a seamstress without sustaining any damage. Eon recognized her unique abilities and invited Pamela to become a Skylander, joining Fusion Squad and making new friends.

If you had told me earlier this year I would now be neck deep into collecting the (Playmates) Miraculous dolls, I would've called you crazy... but yet here I am with like a dozen of the dolls already (I'm mainly focused on getting the Ladybug and Cat Noir variants, but might branch out to other characters).

[the-enzyme]

My May 2023 toy "haul" arrived, but it was so tiny. I decided to photograph it with some Western toys I also got recently. Just to have all in the same post and not post multiple things for two items (multiples are kind of the same to me).

I'm super happy with the Japanese toys, super glad I got two of the Adorable Arts Cloud, despite telling myself I should stop hoarding Cloud figures, because he's not even my fourth favorite Final Fantasy character. However, he's so pretty and there are so many figures based on him, it's kind of hard not to hoard them all... although I do try really hard to stop...DX These Adorable Arts are super cute, I hope they make some of Sephy and Vincent as well (I'm hoping really hard for those two, as I don't really collect all the others, although I am always temtped by Nanaki figs)!

From left to right: Spin Master Zombaes Forever Trading Dolls X2; Playmate Zag Heroes Miraculous Cat Noir Fashion Doll; MGA LOL OMG Surprise Capsles x2; Banpresto Chibi Chara Kyun Bakemonogatari Araragi Koyomi Prize Figure; Good Smile Company Castlevania (Animated Netflix Series) Alucard; Square Enix Final Fantasy VII Remake Cloud Strife Non-Scale Figure X2.

I'm super happy with all these toys. The Cat Noir doll is a second for me, to semi-customize. I love Cat Noir. I also was able to finally get the last Onemutan Giyu Tomioka gashapon figure I was missing. And, the Araragi Koyomi Chibi Chara Kyun figure, that I thought I was never going to get. Or at least, one of the five(?) there are. This one sealed, in box!! Yay! Super great find at an insanely great price.

Fell in love with the TV show Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir and it's easy to tell who my favorite character is. Oh look Monarch I got Cat Noir's Miraculous and you don't,lol The Adrien cologne/perfume smells really really good! The Marinette and Adrien dolls come with their super hero costumes to change them into Ladybug and Cat Noir. I have no idea why Marinette's jacket sleeves won't stay up,lol The cat noir in the chair is made by playmates and has his staff and his kwamii Plagg, the other Cat Noir is made by Bandai and has his staff that's open to use his communicator. Included a picture of my Cat Noir backpack.

Review: Miraculous "Queen Bee" Fashion doll from Playmates Toys

Every year, my family does a "Secret Santa" gift exchange on Christmas Eve, but considering half of us can't do the shopping ourselves, pretty much everyone knows who has who, so this year, we called it the "Not-So-Secret Santa", and we all knew who drew who.

My 5 year old brother got me, and I got a Queen Bee doll, and my stepdad picked out one with the best face.

Queen Bee retails for $16.99 USD.

Queen Bee has the standard box style, with an image of herself on the side, and a message reading "Be Strong, Be Brave, Be MIRACULOUS!" on the back, along with pictures of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, Queen Bee, and Marinette against a pink background.

Queen Bee comes with three accessories: Pollen, her Kwami, her Miraculous, a bee comb (which is actually a clip), and her weapon, a spinning top with a string attached (which doesn't actually spin).

Queen Bee comes wearing a one piece black and yellow suit, and plain black ankle boots.

I think the printing on her suit is pretty good, slightly crooked, but neat enough to not bother me.

Her boots are the same mold as several of the other heroes, such as Ladybug, Lucky Charm Ladybug, Cosmobug (basically all the Ladybugs), Rena Rouge, and Bunnyx. I noticed they're a softer plastic than most of my more recent dolls, who have very hard plastic shoes.

She has 15 points of articulation, with movement at her:

Head

Shoulders

Double-jointed elbows

Hips

Double-jointed knees

Her joints are nice and tight, and she feels quite solid! After several looser, hollow feeling Miraculous dolls, Queen Bee is a breath of fresh air to handle.

Queen Bee has blue eyes, pale pink lips, and wears a black mask with yellow trim, which is molded and painted onto her face. I think she bears a close resemblance to her character in the series. Not quite as close as Vesperia to her doll, but still very close. I really like her face!

Her head is very round and large, especially in comparison to the other Miraculous dolls, but I feel like Queen Bee has a rather large head in the series, so it's pretty much accurate.

Queen Bee has long blonde hair styled in a high ponytail and gelled into a large ringlet, with two pieced pulled back, and two tendrils framing her face.

It's a touch messy at the top, where it was pulled aside in the box, but I'm very happy with how the ringlet looks. My particular doll has a tighter curl, which I actually prefer the look of.

You can also see her Miraculous, a bee comb/clip, with yellow "prongs", and a white bee with black stripes. Vesperia's Miraculous uses the same mold, but the colors are swapped. I slipped it onto one of the sides of hair that are pulled pack, because I didn't want to risk messing up her ponytail or curl. It's very large in comparison to her head, but if I'm being honest, it would be more difficult to handle if it was any smaller.

Queen Bee's spinning top is yellow with a black stripe and a hook for her finger, and a black string attached to it, along with a loop for her hand.

Something I immediately noticed was the length of the string. It's much longer than both Vesperia's top and my sister's Queen Bee from last year's top.

I can definitely see the longer string being more fun for kids to play with, but it's now too long to put the loop on the string through the hook on the top to have it sit around her waist. It sits more at her thigh now without some manipulation (like in my first image). Newer Ladybugs also have a longer yoyo string, but her yoyo can be winded up to fit better.

I do prefer the longer string to the shorter string, but it would be nice if it were an adjustable length.

And here's her Kwami, Pollen! I think she's pretty cute. I've mentioned before that I don't like most of the Playmates Miraculous doll's Kwamis, but Pollen and Plagg are exceptions. She's mostly yellow, with black trim and yellow-green irises with blue sclera.

Her sculpting is pretty nice, she has a little smile, but it's unpainted, like Tikki, but she has enough painted details to not look like an afterthought.

My only major complaint is that I can't get her to balance (she's laying down in this photo). Other than that, she's a fun addition to Queen Bee.

Overall, I'm very pleased with Queen Bee. She feels very solid, with tight joints, looks quite accurate to her television counterpart, and all of her accessories look great. I don't find myself wishing she came with more or that her accessories are disappointing, like some of the other Miraculous dolls I've reviewed. I give Queen Bee an A+!
