I needed one doll stand for my collectible Frozen Broadway Elsa doll that did not come with her own, but I didn’t want to spend more than $10 for a single, simple stand. I thought I’d give these stands a shot since they were what I was looking for and under my budget. Luckily it fits the doll fine around her waist.These also fit limited edition Disney Store designer dolls (12″ barbie size) that do not have a thick dress/corset on. The piece that fits around the dolls’ waists do not fit every 12″ doll, they fit best around slimmer dolls with thinner outfits.These pieces that go around the dolls’ waists may need to be filed down a little if they have random pieces of plastic sticking out. Some do, but not all.The height can be adjusted for dolls that are shorter than 12″ (with a lower waist), which is nice.The color of the stands have a frosty shimmer to them, so if you’re looking for completely transparent stands, these aren’t for you. I personally liked the color, especially with Elsa.They do topple over easily, especially if the doll is top-heavy due to an outfit, cape, or big hairstyle. This can be fixed by adding something heavy to the base, or taping the stand down to whatever surface you display them on. I expected this for stands that are affordable and not high-end.The only thing I’m disappointed in is the design of the base; it forms a hill around where the pole is inserted. This design flaw prevents dolls’ feet from being close to the pole, which forces the feet to be more in the middle of the base… making it difficult for the dolls to stand up straight like they’re supposed to. This also causes the doll stand to topple backward. While the toppling can be fixed, the doll appearing like it’s not standing up straight may be frustrating for a collector depending on what the doll is wearing (bigger skirt makes their stance less noticeable).Despite that, I was fine taking a risk with about $8 for 10 of these stands instead of spending $25 or $30 for 1 stand. I recommend these stands for people on a budget who don’t need a fancy stand and are fine with adding something to the base to prevent it from toppling over. [...]
