2017 Belle Medium Plush by Disney Store - Disneyland Purchase - Laying Down - Portrait Front View
2017 Disney Store Belle medium plush. Laying down.
From World of Disney in Disneyland, I got the four Disney Store medium Princess plush that they had for sale on my visit on July 4, 2017: Aurora, Ariel, Belle and Mulan ($24.99). Belle is also available online from the Disney Store (for $19.95). But I haven't seen the other three plush online or in person in Disney Stores yet. Unlike previous recent DS plush, they have printed faces rather than embroidered. That means that their features have more subtle detail, but I'm not sure about their durability. They do look very pretty, and I like all of their faces. My favorite is Belle, both for her face and outfit. The three plush with dresses have two layers in their skirts, a sheer organza layer over a satin layer, that are sewn together in the back seam. The satin layer has lace trim at the hem for Aurora and Belle. Ariel has a solid tail, and two layered fins that are a new design. The tail can't bend, and Ariel can't bend at the waist either, so Ariel can't sit. Both her bra and the tail are higher than in previous plush designs, which deviate from the animated design as well.
The new plush are 18 inches high, which is considerably shorter than the 20-21 inches of the versions from previous years. The new Tangled: The Series plush are also 18 inches, so it seems that is the new standard size for Princess type medium plush from the Disney Store. The Disney Store also have Rapunzel and Snow White available online and hopefully in stores, so I intend to get them very soon, as well as any other new Princess plush that they release. The other princesses (Cinderella, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Tiana, Merida, Anna and Elsa) are yet to be released for 2017.
