EXPENSIVE? YES SIR. CONSISTENT? Depends on whether you sewed the plush correctly. I have ordered several from Revain and some directly from the company. Most of them had imperfections and I had to fix them myself before giving them to the 3 year old I bought them for. It's a great idea and there aren't many options, so I went with Celestial Buddies. After the renovations were completed my 4 year old STILL plays with it, he is obsessed with the solar system. We have all the planets that the company makes and if they weren't so expensive I would order a second set.
