Where has Rapunzel Gone?

A couple of weeks ago when I was walking the mall, I noticed something at the Disney Store. They did not have any of the long-haired Rapunzel dolls on the shelves. They had the 17 inch singing version, but none of the 11 inch doll versions. All they had was the short-haired wedding variety.

I shrugged, thought it was perhaps just that they had ran out of stock and that she would be back on the shelves another time. As I returned to the mall on different occasions,  I saw new items come and go but never anymore long-haired Rapunzel dolls.

I even ventured to a Disney outlet store near my home and found that they had the same dolls: all short brown hair and no long hair.

I started to wonder if maybe they just didn't have them at the physical stores, but that you could still get them online. Sometimes that has been the case for some items; my local Disney Store will not carry an item but the online store usually does. When I went to look: Nothing. The only 11 inch doll that was there was the  wedding doll. All right, strange. When I looked at other Disney Stores (Europe), they had not only the wedding doll, but the long-haired blonde wedding doll, and several other long-haired Rapunzel dolls for sale.

I am starting to wonder if she is getting a new look. Maybe they are using the new look the dolls have currently with some of the sets that were released in Europe and are going to bring them over to this side of the pond. All I can so is wait and search the internet for clues.
