This resurgence of popularity has led to a stunning collection of merchandise that brings the wonder of the film right into your child’s hands. Today, we are diving deep into the realm of enchantment to explore the must-have Beauty and the Beast toys for 2017. From exquisitely designed dolls to playful, interactive sets, these toys—many provided by the esteemed JAKKS Pacific—are guaranteed to spark imagination, encourage storytelling, and deliver truly unforgettable Christmas morning magic. Let’s explore why these treasures belong at the very top of every little princess’s wish list!

Beauty and the Beast Ballroom Belle Doll – Ready for the Dance

There is no more iconic moment in the film than the majestic ballroom sequence. Now, your child can experience the grandeur of that unforgettable night with the Beauty and the Beast Ballroom Belle doll. This isn’t just a toy; it’s a detailed miniature recreation of movie magic, perfect for the dedicated Disney collector or the budding young storyteller.

Designed for children aged 3 and older, this Belle toddler doll stands approximately 14 inches tall, making her a substantial and easily managed play companion for little hands. Every facet of her design screams sophistication and cinematic accuracy. She is draped in a striking, sunshine-yellow ball gown, meticulously reminiscent of the dress worn by Emma Watson in the live-action movie. The gown features delicate metallic accents adorning the intricate bodice, flowing seamlessly down to the hem of the voluminous skirt, ensuring she looks perfectly poised for a grand waltz.

But the attention to detail doesn’t stop with the dress. The doll completes her signature look with shimmering translucent yellow shoes, featuring adorable heart-shaped cut-outs at the toes. Furthermore, she proudly wears her iconic ‘tree of life’ pendant necklace, linking her directly to the profound narrative of the film. With a poseable head, arms, and legs, the Ballroom Belle doll offers interactive play, allowing children to recreate their favorite movie scenes or choreograph entirely new adventures in the castle. Truly, every detail of this doll is remarkably executed, making her the centerpiece of any Beauty and the Beast collection.

Baby Belle: For the Youngest Princesses

For the younger Disney fans who adore the charm and comfort of a cuddly companion, Baby Belle is an absolute delight. Also a charming product from JAKKS Pacific, this doll is designed to be soft, sweet, and comforting.

From her soft, flowing dark brown hair to her large, innocent, and inviting eyes, everything about this particular doll is lovely and appealing. She comes complete with a special rose-shaped baby rattle, ensuring that even the youngest fans can engage with the thematic elements of the story. Both the toddler Ballroom Belle doll and the Baby Belle doll are sized perfectly for young children, offering a wonderful sense of scale and manageable playability. This adorable infant version of Belle is highly sought after this season and is a beloved item on many children’s Christmas wish lists, promising soft snuggles and gentle play.

The Magical Accessories & Collectibles

Beyond the dolls that encourage direct role-play, the story of Beauty and the Beast is defined by iconic, enchanting objects. The next two collectibles brilliantly capture the magic inherent in the cursed castle, making them outstanding display pieces that also offer joyful interactivity.

The Enchanted Rose Jewelry Box

If there is one item that symbolizes the urgency, romance, and peril of the Beast’s tale, it is the magnificent, wilting rose. My personal favorite amongst all the new merchandise is the exquisite Enchanted Rose Jewelry Box. This is far more than just storage; it is a beautiful piece of movie iconography brought to life.

This cute jewelry box serves as a perfect replica of the iconic rose dome from the film. It offers a small drawer on the front, ideal for storing treasured small items or, quite appropriately, jewelry. The real magic happens when you open the drawer: the enchanted rose within the dome dramatically opens, lights up with a soft glow, and plays the beloved Beauty and the Beast theme song. If you simply want to hear the music without opening the drawer, there is also a designated button on the front that activates the tune.

The overall design of this item is truly phenomenal. It’s a piece of decorative delight that appeals across generations. (I confess, I secretly want one myself, and even my 27-year-old daughter asked if she might be gifted one for Christmas!) While the storage compartment is admittedly rather small, limiting its use for extensive collections, it serves beautifully as a place holder for the included feather ring, making the presentation complete.

The only minor consideration is the lack of volume control; however, the sheer sensory magic—the lights, the music, the opening flower—makes this a spectacular and persuasive gift choice.

 Step Into the Story: Pretend Play Essentials

The heart of Beauty and the Beast is about transformation, friendship, and sharing a meal—even if the serving ware talks back! These interactive play sets and dress-up items allow children to actively step into the roles of Belle and her animated household friends, elevating playtime from simple doll interaction to immersive, imaginative storytelling.

Beauty and the Beast Tea Set – A Charming Party

No castle is complete without the delightful, bustling personalities of Mrs. Potts and Chip. The Beauty and the Beast Tea Set from JAKKS Pacific is another magical item that consistently lands on holiday wish lists. This enchanting set allows your little hostess to stage her very own magical tea party for two, featuring the beloved sentient teapot and teacup.

The interactive elements of this set are what make it truly special and persuasive. As your child pours the pretend tea, Mrs. Potts’ eyes will charmingly blink, adding a unique and humorous layer of animation to the scene. Additionally, Chip, the wonderfully wobbly teacup, can be made to wobble on his saucer, perfectly reminiscent of his antics in the film.

The exquisite set provides everything needed for a complete fantasy tea service: it includes the star teapot with a removable lid, a sugar bowl, two spoons, and matching cups and saucers. This tea set is not just a collection of dishes; it’s an invitation to engage in social play, practice manners, and develop narrative skills through their favorite Disney characters.

Beauty And The Beast: Dress Up & Pretend Play

For many children, the ultimate form of imaginative play is becoming the character they admire. To fully achieve Belle’s iconic look, JAKKS Pacific also carries Belle’s Ball Gown, inspired directly by the new live-action cinematic masterpiece.

Whether the child in your life is preparing for a Beauty and the Beast-themed birthday party or simply loves to dress up and role-play their favorite scenes from the movie on a rainy afternoon, Belle’s Ball Gown makes the perfect, show-stopping gift. Designed to fit sizes 4 to 6X, the shimmering yellow dress will instantly transform playtime. My own daughter saw this gown while we were shopping and was absolutely captivated, a true testament to its enchanting appeal.

To ensure the transformation is complete and utterly flawless, you can accessorize the look with Belle’s Dress Up Accessory Set. This comprehensive set features all the delicate, necessary finishing touches: two feather hair combs with intricate jeweled details, elegant rose earrings, and, of course, a replica of the ‘tree of life’ pendant necklace. Combining the gown and the accessory set guarantees children can fully embrace the grace and beauty of Belle as she steps into the lights of the castle ballroom.

A Gift of Imagination, A Tale of Wonder

In conclusion, the top Beauty and the Beast toys for 2017 offer far more than just plastic—they offer a world of enchantment, romance, and endless imagination for young fans of the classic story. The meticulous detail in the Ballroom Belle doll, the emotional resonance of the Enchanted Rose jewelry box, and the interactive fun of the Tea Set and Ball Gown all capture the magic and wonder of Belle’s journey with the Beast.

Whether your child is meticulously reenacting the grand waltz, creating new adventures with Mrs. Potts and Chip, or simply embracing the role of a book-loving princess, these high-quality items from JAKKS Pacific are sure to bring hours of joy, creativity, and persistent imaginative play. Make this holiday season truly magical and unforgettable with the enduring gift of Beauty and the Beast toys!
