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).
But, Disney seems unmotivated to go the extra mile that they should, and can afford at this price point. I understood that when I got Beast, people had already warned that he seemed padded and not really a full Beast, but I think it's very short sighted of them.
Sigh. Any deboxers have display and maintenance tips? I was forced by circumstances to be out of state on 9/20 and got the last of all three dolls. Gaston is ok, a livable plastic ding, but... Jeez.
Belle's box is in awful shape - The plastic is trashed and the inside left side when you take off the cover is all mashed and crumpled. Thank god the doll itself seems ok.
Beast is better and far worse at the same time. The box isn't crushed, but there are two big brown paint smears on the inside of the plastic. Even worse, they match... The spots on the fronts of his frontmost claws that are very noticeably missing paint. :cry:
I can't even look at them because the damage bums me out so badly. They've just been sitting in their bags. I'm pretty much just going to have to debox, it's not like I could return them, or with the damage even sell them on in good conscience without taking a huge loss. I'm not sure what to do with Beast though, it's not exactly an inconspicuous spot missing the paint... :cry:

I didn't buy them online. These were in-store pre-orders.
I asked before I left to go deal with my late mother's belongings if I could have someone else pick up but they said no. And when I did come in to pick up they didn't give me a chance to look over the dolls, not that it would have mattered even if I hadn't been too tired from a week of manual labor in 100+ heat followed by 20 hours of driving the next day to insist on it because they were the last ones and of course you can't return LE merch and at that point even if I'd been able to I would have had to get them secondhand anyway at inflated cost.
No more pre-order dolls. What makes it even worse is that I was first in line at the store but last to be able to pick up. If I can't get it right then and there, no way. These dolls cost way too much to have this kind of experience.

UGH, having problems with the Winter Belle I ordered from DS.com.
What kind of problems?
It came damaged. Banged up box, cracks in plastic I can stick my fingers through.
So I sent them an email with pictures requesting a replacement. They had it, yay.
So they said they would send UPS to pick up the doll. I asked for the return label (doll shipped to my work and they wouldn't tell me when UPS would show up). It was supposed to be here by Friday, at the latest.
Label didn't arrive by email (or any other means) so I call this afternoon. They tell me the shipping label request has been put in again and I'll get it by Tuesday. I ask, so once the doll is en route (assuming i get the label on Tuesday), will my replacement doll be shipped?
They check records, replacement doll has been cancelled, I'm like WTF? They check records and say replacements are usually cancelled if item isn't returned in two weeks. I say, but I only just got the damaged doll and sent you an email on 10/4/16.
Put on hold, another replacement doll has been saved for you. Ok.
So anxiously awaiting the label to return the damaged doll.
Oh, and there was an issue with the payment so I didn't even get the doll until the prior week (wasn't shipped out until Friday September 23 so, of course, since I'm in CA, it took a week to get here.
I don't understand why they just don't make extra boxes so that if there is a problem they can just send those out instead of a complete new doll. This either means they made more than 5000 of those dolls or they keep a certain amount on the side in order to switch with broken ones. That would also explain why so many collectors couldn't get their hands on her.
But I know they do replacement boxes. My store had to get two boxes replaced because they were so damaged when they got them.
still no blast off email from the UK D: getting nervous because the whole drama thing from america

disneysfreakingprincess: did you get the blast-off email from Disney UK? Cuz almost all of those have already been delivered within the UK. I know some people in France just got theirs this past week (Thursday/Friday)...
she got more than just the blast-off she got the us set delivered (the one that was initially canceled) and the set from the uk storei am curious to find out if they charged her for both seeing as one of the orders had been canceled initially. That would be so lucky!
