Designer Belle and Beast Couples - 2011 Designer Princess Belle and Classic Beast vs 2013 Designer Fairytale Belle and the Beast - Side by Side Comparison - Full Front View
Comparing two Designer Belle and Beast doll couples, from the Disney Store.
On the left is the Designer Princess Belle and Classic Beast/Prince dolls, from 2011. There was no Designer Beast in 2011, so I have to make do with the Classic Beast doll. Belle is on her custom doll stand. Her face and head mold are unique to this doll. She has a beehive hairdo, rooted antennae eyelashes, jeweled gold satin bodice, a golden organza skirt made of ruffled roses, multiple layered tulle petticoat, and gold gloves. She has golden earrings and is holding long stemmed red rose.
On the right is the recently released Fairytale Designer Belle and the Beast Doll Set. Since it is a limited edition doll set, and about double the price of the 2011 couple, the dolls are considerably more detailed and movie accurate. In particular, the Beast has a custom built body and head molds, and a very elaborate costume. He is also over an inch taller than the Belle doll, as well as being much wider. Unlike the play doll version, this Beast cannot be transformed into the Prince. Belle's face mold is the same as the 2013 version, but has a face paint that is considerably more movie accurate, in addition to having rooted eyelashes. Her hair is based on the 2012 Classic doll's hairdo, rather than the simpler and more movie accurate 2013 Classic doll. The side curls of the 2012 doll have been exaggerated in this Designer doll, to extend well past her neck. Her dress is very elaborate, with heavy use of golden embroidery and jewels, and the top half of her skirt is gathered. She has full length gold colored gloves, and floor length petticoat with lacy hem.
Disney Princess Designer Belle Doll (2011, $59.50)
The Beast Classic Doll - 12'' (2013, $14.95)
Belle and the Beast Doll Set - Disney Fairytale Designer Collection (2013, $129.95)
