In 2014, LEGO expanded their line of products marketed towards girls with the Disney Princess theme, making it the second theme ever to feature minidolls. The first one was LEGO Friends which debuted in 2012. The Disney Princess sets focused on building scenery from famous Disney movies so the kids could easily recreate scenes or make up their own. I’m mainly interested in the minidolls and how they differ from the ones available in sets today (2021), but I will take a look at the sets first to put the whole theme into a broader context.
The 2021 LEGO set Andrea's Family House 41449 is notable for several reasons. However, I'll only take a closer look at the mother Donna. Because she's wearing a Yellowish Green outfit that's eerily similar to the one Tiana's famous for. Does that mean that they are related? Or even the same person?
The LEGO Friends theme debuted in 2012 and was an instant smash hit for LEGO. That’s why in 2013 we got more. For the minidolls, some things stayed the same, while others changed.
