Getting Ready

The 'Getting Ready' collection is a charming 2002 series released by Disney China that captures iconic Disney Princesses in intimate, everyday moments of self-care. This set features Cinderella (1950), Jasmine (1992), Aurora (1959), Ariel (1989), Snow White (1937), and Belle (1991), each depicted applying lipstick or using a mirror. The design aesthetic is clean and stylized, focusing on the personalities of these beloved leads as they prepare for their royal duties. As a Limited Edition series from the early 2000s, these pins have become increasingly sought after by collectors who focus on character-centric portraiture. The simplicity of the artwork highlights the timeless elegance of the Disney Princess franchise, which remains a cornerstone of pin collecting. Each pin is rendered with high-quality metal detailing, characteristic of the production standards for Disney China releases during this era. These pins are highly regarded for their cohesive theme, allowing collectors to display the entire set as a complete narrative of princess glamour. Because they represent a specific international release, they are often considered Hard to Find for domestic collectors looking to complete their sets. The focus on the 'getting ready' theme offers a unique, relatable perspective on characters typically seen in more formal, regal poses.
