I bought this T-Rex for a friend's birthday. Now that we're adults, it was more of a joke present. She always said how she wished she had a T-Rex when she was at work to destroy things when she was upset. I was concerned that the doll would not be comfortable as, as I said, we are adults. I asked my husband to try it on when it arrived and it fits easily in his arms and he has big hands. So if you order this you can play with it yourself and do puppet shows with your child. Or, if you're like my group of friends, host puppet shows for your own amusement. I gave 4 stars for durability just because of the teeth. I think they will probably hold up well but the way they are made ends up being a little crooked which I think gives the doll some character. But some might not like it. We loved playing with this doll so much that I ordered two more, one for me and one for another friend.
