Princess Tiara new or old?

[legobear]

I am wondering if the Tiara pieces are new or old because I just saw this on brickshelf.

It's a Belville piece that first appeared in 2000, according to Bricklink.

Ahhh I see, so the Queen's tiara is old as well then. Thanks Dillon

Yep, as Sir Dillon noted, it's a Belville piece. My daughter has a bunch of them.

This is the first time I can remember it being used with a mini-fig though. I'm curious to see how it's attached. The tiara has a pin on the bottom (the same size as the old plumes), so I assume there's a hole in the back of the hair, kinda like the old Native American hair piece, where you could plug in the feather. It looks nice with the tiara, but I wonder how it looks without it??

I'm sure the pin on the tiara piece is inserted into the pin whole on the helmet face-piece.

Hey Skorpius, I believe Joebot is actually referring to this picture.

I neverm thought that the tiara was a new piece. Thanks for bringing that up!

Bellville! No wonder I've never seen it then! That theme scares me.
