I was so sad when I got this item for my grandson and the top of the lion didn't fit the bottom, it didn't close like it should for matryoshka dolls. I thought maybe I just got a bad kit and sent it back to have it replaced. Surprisingly I received a replacement set the next day and was sad to see the same issue. I returned it for a full refund. Maxshop did a great job expediting the exchange and providing a refund. I just want the product to work the way it's supposed to. I'm sad I can't give it to my grandson. I hope they can fix the production issue and make it right. It defeats the whole point of nesting dolls if you can't close them.
