We were looking forward to this doll and thought it was very cute in the picture. I don't know if mine is defective or not, however, but his mouth doesn't close completely, making it look like teeth are protruding from visible tissue. Also, the eyes are not as forward facing as in the picture. If he looks directly at you, all you see is his nose. I don't know if the company sold me a second one or if they were supposed to. I don't want to return it because I can use it; I just want it to look more like the picture.
