New and a bit alarming! Disney just released a Beauty and the Beast doll of Emma Watson as Belle in the upcoming live-action film — but the internet doesn’t seem to think the toy looks anything like the 26-year-old actress or the cartoon princess.

A photo of the doll first made its way online when William Herrington, a photographer and doll enthusiast from Colorado, posted a pic of the figurine on Flickr after spotting it for sale at a JCPenney at a Grand Junction mall.

“I knew that Disney Store’s live-action dolls are never 100% accurate to the actors, but this one was atrocious!” he told BuzzFeed News on Saturday, January 7. “Her face was shiny and covered in freckles (that looked more like a skin disease) and her head looked like it was being ripped open and torn where the hair was rooted into the head.”

“As for any resemblance to Emma … yeesh. There really isn’t any,” Herrington continued, adding that his “excitement turned to disappointment and disgust” at the puzzling plastic interpretation of Watson as Belle.

Since Herrington posted the photo, Disney fans have taken to social media to express their mixed feelings about the doll. Some are similarly distraught over Belle’s shocking new look, but many have found the humor in the toy’s interesting mug. From Justin Bieber in a dress to Jennifer Garner as Alias, online fans seem to think the Belle doll bears a resemblance to anyone but the British actress.
