Review on 🍪 Delightful Sesame Street Cookie Monster Puppet: A Perfect Companion for Endless Playtime Fun by Walt Smirnoff

I bought this and another hand puppet with high hopes that one day I could entertain my 1 year old grandson with them. When they arrive they look and feel like you would expect and faithfully represent the character. The problem lies in the mouth of the dolls. For some reason they are made with a tremendous amount of resistance in the mouth (where the hand goes to make them speak). I'm a grown man and I've had a really hard time making my mouth look "open". There was HUGE resistance here. I would think if something was going to be used as a doll they would test it out a bit to make sure you could open and close your mouth easily. If it was a stuffed animal it would almost be a full mark. It looks like a character. As a doll, however, I was very disappointed.
