  1. Great Score! I have this doll too. I think he has a warm smile. I have new redhead doll also but his smile doesn't seem as warm.

  2. Thanks Ms. Leo, I think I like the older Disney Dolls more. Depends on who Disney gets to make the dolls.

  3. I really like this guy's sweet face - this reminds me I do have this guy. I think I'm going to have to try and rebody mine as I like an articulated doll.

  4. I have two of this doll, fortunately with the black boots on. I thought his clothes were pretty crappy - the 'vest' is just a sort of felt dicky, and the jabot ! Well, for one of the dolls, I replaced the vest with a real one in pale yellow 'silk' with a very small flower pattern, and made a new jabot out of a scrap of lace. With the other one, I had a bit of luck. It had the 'beast face' mask in the bag, and then some time later, the proper blue tailcoat, with the padded shoulders and beast paws attached to the sleeves, turned up on an unrelated Ken at a thrift store, and I bought it. So I have one as the Beast and the other as the Beauty :-)
