Review on 11" Brown GUND Growler Teddy Bear Plush Stuffed Animal Classic by Mandy Martin

Gund is the end all, be all for stuffed animals in our household. When my wife and I want a good stuffed animal as a gift for our girls, we immediately look at Gund. When I saw the pictures of Growler I knew he’d be a great addition to my 3 year olds collection of animals. He just has this look to him that is part clueless and part mischievous. I have to say that when I took him out of the packaging I was very surprised. I know the listing mention his "matted” fur, but I guess I was still expecting him to be somewhat soft like other from the brand. The bears fur feels a bit rough/wiry. The stitching is also a little rough, so it’s not exactly something soft and cuddly. This would make a great stuffed animal for display or decoration. If you’re looking for something soft and cuddly for your kids, maybe try a different one.
