Soft Plush with Minor Flaws
I'm very happy with my purchase. The plush arrived quickly, safely, and was well protected by the vacuum-sealed packaging.
The only downside is that the vacuum sealing leaves the plush looking quite wrinkled and flattened when first unpacked. This isn't really a fault with the plush itself, just something to keep in mind. With a bit of time and some gentle fluffing, it should recover most of its shape.
That said, even after fluffing, it doesn't quite match the full, fluffy appearance shown in the product photos and videos on social media. The fur and overall shape look a bit less voluminous in person.
I also noticed that some areas, particularly around the chin, the edges of the paws, and the ears, feel less filled than the rest of the plush. It's not a major issue, but it is noticeable when handling it. Fortunately, it doesn't affect the plush's ability to sit or stand on its own.
The jacket is completely removable and is a separate piece that fastens with Velcro. However, the silver emblem is not attached to the jacket itself and is instead glued directly onto the plush. This feels like a questionable design choice, as it gives the emblem a somewhat fragile appearance and makes me concerned about its long-term durability. While it hasn't shown any signs of coming loose so far, I would have preferred it to be sewn onto the jacket instead.
The back of the jacket also has a separate piece of faux rabbit fur glued onto it. Although it currently holds reasonably well, relying on glue for these parts doesn't inspire much confidence in their long-term durability. I think the design would have been better if the back detail had simply been printed directly onto the jacket instead.
Because of the glued components, I would also recommend following the care instructions carefully. Avoid hot water and excessive amounts of soap, as I imagine they could weaken the adhesive over time. Gentle hand washing with cool or lukewarm water and mild soap seems like the safest approach.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. While there are a few minor compromises due to the vacuum packaging and some slightly underfilled areas, the plush is soft, well made, and looks great. I would happily recommend it to anyone interested in buying one.
