Belle and Beast Limited Edition Doll Set - Disney Store - Belle Deboxed - Standing - Full Front View
Belle has been completely deboxed. She is standing, supported by the included display stand. She can free stand, but is not very stable that way.
Here is a mini review of Belle, concentrating on the features that can only be seen when she is deboxed.
First is her amazing golden heels. They are decorated with a molded ribbon in front, and silver and yellow decorations all around the shoe. They are in the same class as the best Disney Store LE doll shoes, such those of Tiana and Harrods Elsa.
Slightly disappointing is the lack of edition number and size stamps on her back. More disappointing is that her legs were slightly warped, so her feet and shoes couldn't point in the same direction. This is common on the 2012 style Classic doll and Designer doll legs, but I don't think it's happened to my 17 inch LE dolls before.
I like the look of the plastic floral decoration at her gown's neckline a lot more than I thought I would from the previous photos I saw. But I still would have liked them to be made of cloth or embroidery. A side effect of them being plastic is that her long side curls would be caught in it when I handled the doll.
With brings me to her side curls. They look good on LE Winter Belle, but on Ballgown Belle they are more distracting, especially from certain angles. So for the later half of the photos of Belle, I moved the curls to behind her head as much as I could, which was how they were in the box pose.
One final item is that her left hand, which the Beast is holding in the box pose, is permanently bent in the middle to make it fit better in Beast's hand.
Detailed photos of my Belle and Beast Limited Edition 17 Inch Doll Set. I got it second hand, after my Disney Store order was cancelled. It looks in perfect condition, and is #107 of 500. There are two Certificates of Authenticity, one for each doll, with the same number.
The box is very similar in construction to the Jasmine and Aladdin Platinum Wedding Doll Set. I love the poses of the dolls in the box, but I will debox them anyway, as is my custom. I need to know how they look freed from the factory restraints, from all angles.
