This lil guy (or, not so little guy!) was so much better than I imagined. I thought the custom design alone was the main reason for the price and I was content with that. But he's SO big, SO well-made, and so very soft to the touch. His wings have tiny wires at the top that let you bend them into place a bit, the little horns stick up, and all his ribs are very 3D. You can even stick your finger under them, while still securely attached. The craftsmanship is really solid. And he's the perfect balance of solid-firm and soft-cuddly. Still comfortably "travel-size" but much bigger than those lil teeturtle reversible critters. He even came with me to the hospital, haha!
I'm hard to excite me or express my joy outwardly, but I literally squealed when I opened the box. So worth it!
