I love Gaston and have been eyeing this doll. Thank you for your thorough review! He’s absolutely gorgeous. His cape reminds me of the Tavern, with the trophies and the bear rug.
I rarely go to Disney, but last time I went I Disneybounded as him and had a painted bag I did with the tavern on the front and his friends and the triplets on the back.
I don't think I would trust Gaston around my drink unattended, but he does make a very pretty doll LMAO The face sculpt is fantastic and good on Disney for actually giving him chest hair in some capacity. Creating a version of the movie in my mind where he isn't such a cad (and also doesn't die.)
I just got mine and was laughing at your same struggle and thought process when trying to get him out of the cardboard box. Like “how thick is he…?” lol. Also kept agreeing with you… what made me really want him was the chest hair and yes I wanted to see how low it went. It’s on much more of the chest than I expected. Love his pants and yes… I do love the detailed male feet they gave him…. Iftkyk 😏
Interesting that the chest hair is mirrored symmetrically on both sides. From what I can see in the video, the hair pattern is exactly the same on left and right ↔️ Also, those legs look like the original Ken rubbery legs with the clicky snappy bend mechanism inside. I remember from the one Ken I had as a kid, they had that open point on the soles of the feet where you could see the end of the plastic armature. As a kid I guessed that was a way to avoid it tearing the rubber if it poked through from wear. Even though those rubbery legs always made Barbie and Ken difficult to dress due to friction, I like the realism of that texture on their legs.
I specifically collect mostly the male dolls too. I have several of just the prince dolls. They’re fun. The Midnight Masquerade ones are pricey though. The Sleeping Beauty one I really want.
I didn't managed to get him,he sold out really quickly but I got snow white! He is wonderful and the best male doll so detailed btw you kinda sound like Gaston ,you could dub some quotes haha :)
I had no idea they made him with chest hair, he really is incredible!! Definitely the best Gaston doll I’ve ever seen (though that is sad about the cheap stand) and now I wish they made the playline ones with this smile instead of the serious sneer he has. 😂😂😂 Sculpted toes 😂😂
I have Midnight Masquerade Hades so I MAY get Gaston. I assume the red jewel is to represent the hole where he shot the animal that he turned into his cloak.
yes I agree they gave him chest hair they might as well had given him some nips. I am super glad though Gaston FINALLY got his chest hair back I remember in the animation film he bared his chest and showed off his chest and it was bearishly hairy. however all the villian dolls we have of him didn't have it. I also like that he kinda has those long side burns that are borderline Mutton chops. He also curiously reminds me of Mark Frankel when he was in a 2 part mini series called "Young Catherine"(beautiful man!) it was sad the actor past away. He didn't play Gaston but the way he looked in the film he literally had a brown eye version Gaston appearance in the film the only difference is he didn't have the Gaston attitude just the look, and all I can say is I was in love! in conclusion I am going to try my very best to get me one of these Gaston dolls. I don't collect a lot of male dolls but I love the whole retro rococo manly vibe this one is giving.
Praise to Disney for making first male doll hairy! I look at your doll, we can paint hairy chest on lot of Ken dolls. Mine are lot of male dolls with hairy parts.
If you take the tack out holding his cape gathered-😢 there’s going to be a random mess of holes. The only way to “help” remove the holes is to apply steam and then gently massage the fabric on both sides of it simultaneously to help the fibres relax and spread out more- but this helps to a varying degree depending on the type of fabric, and some fabrics this method will unfortunately not be of help at all. I wish they didn’t tack it
Me encanta me enloquece me hechiza este muñeco de Gastón el villano de Disney más guapo quiero comprar uno donde los puedo comprar soy Sebastián de Venezuela mucho gusto conocerte
It surprised me that Disney did a Gaston in this line, as the designers usaully never get boy doll and almost never boy villian doll treatment. Also this being Gaston one of the less popular villains , it shocked me . I think they could have done another character that would have been more popluar, as the villians hardly ever sell out , I mean I would have replaced him and the Queen of Hearts from this line. I think villian dolls are always half heart like done by disney, meaning the Queen of Hearts really looks like a pig in a dress. I think with Gaston they could have done so much more if they were doing him.
Would not let me edit and it ended my comment so here is my continuation, I think the face looks cheesy, more goof ball , and for one ofthe most heartless villians in my opinion this was a fail for Disney. Second he looks really nothing like Gaston , and I know this is a adaptation of Gaston , but he just looks off. I would have rather seen other characters that deserve designer dolls Gaston just does not do it for me.
He reminds me of a benign Tom of Finland! I like to give some of my male dolls chest hair. Variety is nice. I wish the males would not always come with 6 packs. It’s boring.
@@halohaloatbp there is a beast version 17” limited edition Disney doll, and it is pricey on the second hand market- about $300 USD. I think they should do the prince version of the beast because they haven’t don’t that yet, I don’t have the 17” Belle though so I probably wouldn’t buy it anyway💗
There are 4 limited edition Beast dolls. 3 in a set with Belle and a single....which is known by collectors as "Winter Beast." It's the Something There scene. To my knowledge they have not done a limited edition Prince (Adam) doll...except for the Live Action film.
Hi, guys. I comeback again! The doll is so pretty like you... You are so handsome, Enzo.
I love Gaston and have been eyeing this doll. Thank you for your thorough review! He’s absolutely gorgeous. His cape reminds me of the Tavern, with the trophies and the bear rug.

I’m impressed with how much I like him!
Were u like abused or something??
yes, I bought him and I am very very happy))) Thank you for unpacking!
I am so glad you take the dolls out of the packaging... dolls are for playing nyo!😻👍🏼

Love his pants and yes… I do love the detailed male feet they gave him…. Iftkyk 😏
Thanks for liking this… cause I definitely relate to the aspects you point out… 😉😏
I really like his outfit that he is wearing it’s definitely different from his actual outfit that he normally wears!
The cape makes him look so regal! The packaging is great but I kind of wish it were red to complement his shirt. His face is well done too.
The little holes in the bottom of the feet are to let the air out for the bend and click joint.
Interesting that the chest hair is mirrored symmetrically on both sides. From what I can see in the video, the hair pattern is exactly the same on left and right ↔️

The animal is called a Stag. As the mask horns are Stag horns.
I feel the same, not much into Disney but if I had the money, I would love to have some of the male figures like Gaston, Hercules and Aladin
That pattern on his pants looks like he's into water sports.
😂
Gaston is early birthday gift to yourself

I see Mickey & Minnie in the background. This is your second limited edition Disney set LOL
You know what … technically you’re right! 🤪

Right?! 🤪
@@thee_junkdrawer 😂
Gaston is the king of this Masquerade series! The cape and the mask are amazing!
I have Midnight Masquerade Hades so I MAY get Gaston. I assume the red jewel is to represent the hole where he shot the animal that he turned into his cloak.
Ahhh ... possibly!
@@ghosty4 interesting theory ❤️
These haven't sold out fast, which is a good thing for Disney collectors.
They did the releases back to back. My poor wallet lol 😂.
Hi. It's a stag on his cape. Great review. I got him too and he's a great doll. Love the face and outfit.
That’s it! Stag!
There some older dolls I like them in the box and enjoy looking at them. But mostly I wanna hold them. Depends on the box art too.
True
Enzo is a common Italian etymology name in Brazil! I like the actors that play Gaston's smugness at Disneyland heh heh!
🥰
He looks like he could be related to the Tom Of Finland Doll
😆
Glad you were able to get him! He's really cool!
🥰

@@thee_junkdrawer he is definitely a beauty!
I definitely really like him🫶🏻
So cool doll nyo!
😂😂😂 The new inside joke about feet 😂😂😂
😜
10:50... Chardonnay is a white wine... Cabernet is Burgundy. Just a heads up.
LOL I was definitely brainfarting at that point
He’s gorgeous mr!! Like you 😈❤️❤️❤️
☺️
Me encanta su caballo real el traje y la capa, botas está muy cool.
Lo que más me gusta de Gastón es su barba partida ❤
WOW! Expensive doll collector 😮 😍 not playline 😮
He kinda looks like a Tom of Finland doll with a Disney makeunder.
Right?!
It's a STAG!!🦌Not a Reindeer.
Praise to Disney for making first male doll hairy! I look at your doll, we can paint hairy chest on lot of Ken dolls. Mine are lot of male dolls with hairy parts.

Yeah .. I’m leaving the folds as-is for now 🤷
I solve that problem by carefully moving the threads in to the right place using the sharp tip of a needle. It helps perfectly.

He is supposed to devilishly handsome right?

Agreed!
@@nieuwolt I think Barbie should come out with Keg Ken, I think it would be surprisingly popular
He looks great! Would love though if Disney comes out with a limited edition Beast doll, in his Beast mode and not Prince
