My husband purchased the beast doll for me when I had my oral surgery to keep me company and comfort me. I fell in love with him from the moment I saw him. He arrived in a securely packed box. He is beautifully made with much attention to detail: his face, his hair, his outfit. He is so soft, so cute, and is just the perfect size. I have always been a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast. I watched the 1980s TV show even before the Disney movie. I named him Vincent, because I think he looks just like the character from the TV show. My husband made the best choice. Vincent makes me so happy every day; he makes me smile and comforts me. I highly recommend this doll for any Beauty and the Beast fan. Lisa Ann
