Video of the Coraline musical (and more)

1. One of the toys exclusively available at San Diego San Diego Comic Con, July 22-26, will be Coraline in Star Spangled Sweater:

This special edition figure of Coraline from Henry Selick and Neil Gaiman's hit stop motion film features a brand new outfit and facial expression not available anywhere else. Coraline also sports a fully poseable bendable doll body and articulation at the neck, wrists and boots, and comes with a doll stand for display.

$20. Look closely, even the toy they used for the photo had the paint rubbed off its nose.

2. Finally, go here to see video footage of the MCC Theater's Coraline Musical. Yes, you'll see Jayne Houdyshell as Coraline.

Coraline lunch boxes, messenger bags, and journals

I know Wybie was supposedly added to the story to give Coraline someone to talk to. But her scenes with him really didn't do much to advance or reveal the plot. They mostly just added an extraneous detail to the story - - one of the ghosts was his grandmother's sister. However, he would be a great source of merchandise. I look forward to seeing a Wybie night vision welding mask.

Another warning about Coraline toys

There's a detailed review of the bendy Coraline dolls here. As you can see, the paint on the nose rubs right off.

In other Coraline news, here's a handy side-by-side comparison of how Coraline stacks up against Pink Panther 2. Thanks for the tip Michael.

Coraline shoes, Coraline doll, and more

(Thanks everyone for the tips.)


"Neil Gaiman's Coraline 10-Inch Doll" can be preordered at WizardUniverse for $36. (Reminds me of the doll being fraudulently sold on eBay.)



There are some great photos of the glow-in-the-dark Coraline Nike Dunks and the big top-themed packaging they come in here. My understanding is that the mouse and cat heads are props from the movie, were attached only to special pairs sent out to bloggers, and won't be attached to the Dunks people can win.


And finally, Tasha Robinson has had it with the Coraline ad campaign:

I loved "Coraline," but I'll be so glad when the publicist finally runs out of alphabet-themed posters and stops emailing me one a day.

Coraline toy news, another button box, and more

1. Turns out the Coraline dolls have interchangeable faces. In this photo, you can see the line where the face can be removed from the head:



Head over to Flickr to see a gruesome photo of the doll with its face removed.


2. MTV's movie page features a Coraline background:




3. Joe Bauldoff received a button box from Coraline's Other Mother.

Faces on Coraline toys very different from promotional image

The promotional image for the Coraline dolls looks like this:



But a Flickr user ordered the figures and here's what she got:



Dramatically different facial expressions. You can order the toys at Amazon.

UPDATE: The faces are swappable and the eyes can be repositioned.

Individual Coraline toys available for preorder

To date, I've only seen Coraline toys available for preorder by the case at webstores like Entertainment Earth. But this store has the Coraline bendable "fashion dolls" available for preorder at $16 each.

Coraline Box #31 contents on sale at eBay?

Two curious items on sale at eBay. I've asked the seller for more information.

As you may know, part of the Coraline ad campaign includes sending out 50 one-of-a-kind boxes filled with props from the movie. I've previously found about half, but have not yet seen Box #31.

The eBay listing for "Coraline Mystery Box #31 Key and Other Mother statue" is for this item:



And the description says:

You are bidding on a special one-of-a-kind "Other Mother" porcelain statue from Neil Gaiman's Coraline movie
The doll stands 20" supported by an upright stand, and can be posed.

The details on this rare promo is phenomenal: The dress is sparkly sewed sequins with shoulder petals; the hair and button eyes are precisely applied and the apron is crushed velvet with gold trim. Her fingernails are painted black. Her dress glistens when it hits the light. Truly an amazing collector piece.

You will get the figure (shipped securely) and the promo key with website tag.
Auction DOES NOT include the original Mystery Box (sorry, I'm keeping that)

Based on that description, I'm not clear if the key is the only thing from Box #31, or if the statue was also part of the box. Also, the phrase "one-of-a-kind" and the word "rare" don't mean the same thing to me.

The seller has one other listing: "Coraline Doll, 9.5" tall. Handmade one of a kind":



The description for the item says:

A very unique collectible doll with lots of detail. A one-of-a-kind item: Coraline's doll from the upcoming Neil Gaiman movie "Coraline". The doll stands approx 9.5" tall, 4" wide. The doll is plastic with real buttons. Makes a lovely addition to your OOAK collectibles or movie memorabilia. The item will arrive secured and snug in its container box.

Since there's no mention of it coming from Box #31, I assume this is something the seller created . . . which also leads me to wonder if the seller created the Other Mother statue.

UPDATE: Amy points out the seller's poor eBay feedback score, which includes an allegation of a fraudulent sale.

UPDATE #2: Here's the seller's MySpace page, and the seller tells me the negative feedback was due to slow mail delivery. I'm still trying to find out more information on the box, and exactly which item came from the box.

UPDATE #3: The seller told me:

both statue and key are in my box. The other contents are Other Mother's Good Hand and some fabric swatches. I did not make the coraline doll- it comes as a trip swag from someone who went to Siggraph this past Dec.

Apparently referring to the sale, Neil Gaiman wrote on his blog:

Someone sent me a link this morning to an eBay auction that claimed to be of the contents of a Coraline Box. And as far as I can tell right now, it's a fake thing (still waiting to hear back from the studio), in that it's not a costume from the film and it's very obviously a home-made doll. How odd.

So, buyer beware.

UPDATE #4: As you'll see if you try the links above, the Coraline statue and doll listings have been removed from eBay. No details given. The seller is no longer a "registered user."
