New (to Me) Beast Dolls - Do You Have a Preference?
Has anyone seen this Beast before? He reminds me of the Candy Glam Barbie.
He looks handsomer than the Disney Beast. I wonder if the Disney store has a different doll or if they used a different doll for the online photograph?
I'm pretty sure the Disney Store version is an entirely different doll. I went looking for real pics of the regular release a while ago, and there's still almost no pics outside of eBay.
Yes, while similar, I would say that the Disney version - per the photo shown here - is a different doll. The one I saw looks better. (And not because I saw him ;-D).
Yes, I saw him. I did a post back in June(http://i-luv-dolls.blogspot.com/search/label/Beast). On my recent post on Naveen, I was suprised to know that Disney has several companies doing dolls. Even at the same time! I seen Mattel Snow White and other company's Snow White....big difference. I have yet to see a Disney doll done by someone other than Mattell that I liked! The other dolls look cartoony!
I've even been toying(pun intented) with the idea of getting a Toy Story Ken. I kinda like him.
Ms. Leo - I even commented on your Beast photo. Ack! the mind is going, going, bye! Thanks for the reminder.
"iLham," I wonder if the absence of a likeness is intentional? Or just carelessness. Like the dolls are of cartoon characters, why bother to get the resemblance correct? Shrug.
MissSpottyJane, I understand. I'm tempted, too. To buy this guy ...
Oh, and Ms. Leo, yes, Mattel does seem to produce the best Disney dolls. Anyone ever see the British Camp Rock dolls done by Mattel?
No, I haven't seen the British Camp Rock dolls done by Mattel! I hope you have pictures. The new beast is quite cute in an aristocratic kinda way! His face say well heeled not machinist.

somehow disney dolls dont look like their actual characters...
ReplyDeletebut this doll looks cute ;-)p
am waiting to buy Flyn Ryder from Rapunzel.
I think he's much better than the Disney Store version, too. I'm tempted to buy it, though it doesn't fit in with anything else I have.
