I was looking for a Kermit doll for my son's 8th birthday who is watching a YouTube show with our longtime friend The Muppet. Most of us are of such low quality that he didn't even care about them. He wanted the REAL DEAL. At over $300 I needed another option when I found this doll. It's surprisingly soft, and the mouth and limbs are easy to manipulate. Great price, cute doll.
