Disney Beauty and the Beast Enchanting Melodies Singing Belle Doll by Hasbro - ToysRUs Purchase - Deboxing - Front Cover Off - Closeup Left Side View
Deboxing the Hasbro singing Belle doll. First I cut off the front plastic cover from the backing by using a sharp knife. The box isn't very reusable, as it glued together, so you have to destroy it to get the doll out of the packaging.
Detailed photos of the Disney Beauty and the Beast Melodies Singing Belle doll by Hasbro. She is a posable 11 inch doll of Belle in her yellow ball gown, from the upcoming live action Beauty and the Beast movie (March 17, 2017). I bought her from from ToysRUs, for $29.99. She was released on January 1, 2017, and is still available online (with free shipping) and in stores. She sings a portion of 'Something There', voiced by Emma Watson, with accompanying music. It is the same song from the 1991 animated version of Beauty and the Beast. In the Try Me or Demo mode, she sings 10 seconds of the song when you press her belly. When the switch on the back of the doll is moved from the DEMO to the ON position, the doll sings 30 seconds of the song in a single segment.
She has less articulation than Disney Store dolls, with totally stiff arms and legs. Belle has a one piece dress with a three layered sheer overskirt, yellow satin skirt, and a separate white satin underskirt. She is holding a printed cardboard rose in her left hand and plastic heels with bow decorations in front. She has a few freckles on her cheeks, which are not prominent, and brown eyes that are looking forward. She has a pleasant expression and a pretty face, but only slightly resembles Emma Watson. She has ball jointed neck, shoulders and hips, so only five points of articulation. Hasbro also has a more articulated non-singing version of this Belle doll, with a more detailed and accurate dress, called the Enchanting Ball Gown Belle, which also costs $29.99. There is another version of this doll in the Grand Romance two doll set, along with the ballroom Beast, which costs $49.99, and which has a less detailed gown than the Enchanting Ball Gown Belle.
The Disney Store has a non-singing Disney Film Collection Belle doll in her ball gown. She is separately sold for $34.95 each, so about $5 to $10 more than the Hasbro versions. She was released on January 16, 2017 (in North America). I will compare the two brands side by side soon.
