There's a lot to unpack here.
Let me start out by saying that I don't like this deck at all. Not even a little bit. I would not use it in a box, I would not use it with a fox. I would not use it in the rain, I would not use it on a train. This deck causes my eyes pain.
The indices are terribad.
(That's worse than just regular bad)
The pips are horribad.
(That's worse than terribad which is worse than regular bad)
The background on the face cards is just, No. It does not serve the card at all. It's, NO!
The background doesn't show off the characters
(this is a character deck) very well either, it gets in the way somehow. Poor choices.
One must watch the charming little video of said deck on Murphy's or whatever fine purveyor of playing cards you frequent.
(Maybe) It's blue and white and completely at odds with the card face background.
I'm not a fan of the tuck box but it's the best of the whole.
(the back is the best part of the tuck imho)
For me, The best thing about this deck is it's name. Fantastic name, "
Frozen II Stripper Deck", that's good as gold there.
Now I do understand I'm not the target audience for the deck. It's for people much smaller than I, shown to them by folks much creepier than I. I get that however, at least make some attempt at traditional pips so the kids first introduction to playing cards isn't a suit of explody cross.

Imagine if you will twenty years from now.
(A world with higher seas and more weather extremes, where social media has enabled a larger microchasam of views and ideas and Zack Efron is now vice president to some insta influencer who grew to fame ten years prior for making cupcakes with her butt hanging out.) All is right with the world, relax and let that world grip you. Now see in your minds eye some young woman
(Madison aka Madi) in her twenties leading around her boyfriend
(Joel) getting ready for some kind of disturbing party. She see's playing cards and thinks, "oh strip fun!" then she see's they have proper indices and pips and is all "Where's the explody cross damnit?! These cards suck!" and storms off to never lift another playing card again. This makes me sad.
Thanks JLCC and Disney, thanks a whole lot.
