Emma Watson stars as Belle in the upcoming live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. Disney, of course, released a doll of the character, and while you know who it is, it leaves a little to be desired. Watson is a lovely woman, and the doll just doesn't do her justice. I wonder what Noel Cruz could do with this...
Noel Cruz (previously at Neatorama) is a master at repainting celebrity dolls to improve them. On the left is Disney's doll. On the right, you might think it's the actress herself posing with her doll, but that's the one Cruz repainted. Now it looks like Emma Watson! The doll is up for sale at eBay.

This doll was pretty strange and definitely entered the uncanny valley, I think most of the problem was the head/forehead was too large and the face was hyper-realistic while the body was not. There's also just no way mass production can produce a good looking realistic doll with that cost.
