Disney Store Limited Edition 17" Dolls Discussion - 2016
Lol, he's half transformed, starting from the middle. Maybe because it starts with his heart? Even though, for the price, I really think Disney could have and should have made a specific beast body mold for this, I don't mind too much, because I really like my Beast, I think he looks absolutely perfect next to Belle.
I would be frustrated though if i wanted to change up his wardrobe etc., which should be our option to do, as these are supposed to be high quality (not just "whatever gets the job done") dolls (not statues/figurines) for the adult collector (which includes a large portion of customizers, or people who just love to examine every part of their dolls, including body molds...like all the detail put into (older) Monster High body molds. Basically, a retail Monster High doll shouldn't be leaps ahead of an LE Disney doll when it comes to custom body molds).

These are my thoughts EXACTLY! The designer hag they made last year cost half as much as LE Beast - and a fraction of platinum Beast! - and yet they had the budget to make a custom body for her? Beast even has a classic doll they could get their moneys worth with, but the hag doesn't, she's a one-off! I'm not even asking Disney to sculpt a complete furry body (painted to match the tub scene
