A:AnswerNo apparently this one with the vinyl head on Best Buy/Amazon/Walmart/etc is made by Mattel. The Disney one that is all plush is made from a different company, maybe exclusively by Disney?
A:AnswerI am not articulate enough to explain it well but the the bottom and the torso are very soft. On the bottom u can sense that inside the soft fabric there are small pellets inside to help this 8 inch toy/doll stand up right. The scarf around the neck feels like a soft sweater material. The face is somewhat soft. The eyes are slightly raised plastic but not flush. The ear material is the same as the face. It look inviting to cuddle with. It is very cute to look at. Im am sure that the 11 inch would have pellets too.
