Review on 🐊 26.5" Vintoys Crocodile Plush Toy - Soft Big Hugging Pillow Stuffed Animal by Kathy Sabo

This is a cute plush crocodile, very soft. It's a lot easier than expected. The box was medium sized but weighed less than three pounds. The plush crocodile is packaged in a gallon-sized ziplock bag and folded at the neck. In fact, its head is the same size as its body. He makes a very durable impression. None of the seams came out after some squeezing, and all the details keep their shape, except for the tail, which I'll talk about a little later. While I love how soft and charming it is, I have a few complaints. about the product that ultimately influenced my decision not to leave. First, it doesn't have to be 26.5 inches from head to tail. Normally plush toys are measured straight, but this crocodile is only 26.5 inches long when the measuring tape goes all the way around. In fact, its length is about 22 inches. Second, it's not as plump as the photos show. The colors, proportions and details are consistent with the photos, but the crocodile I received is quite flat. I've tried fluffing it up like a pillow or seeing if it puffs up after taking it out of the bag, but it's been a few hours and it still looks as flat as it did when it came out of the box was taken. It also doesn't appear to have been fully stuffed as there is a large noticeable gap where the tail connects to the body. The crocodile's back also curls up and creates an uneven texture when the plush teddy bear is placed on a flat surface that doesn't look like the beautifully smooth curved back in the picture. The packaging wasn't vacuum sealed so I think the plushie will stay that way flat which is disappointing. If you don't mind the stuffing, I would definitely consider it because it's really cute and unique. If it makes you think, I'd consider another $24 plushie. Personally, I won't keep mine because it can't be used as a pillow as originally intended and I don't like the look of it either. not as stated in terms of size and filling. All in all it's ok if you can ignore the price for what you get.
