I wish the picture of the zipper was provided. The zipper is chunky and made of plastic. Thankfully it isn’t bothersome to cuddle with them. Inside the zipper there’s a mesh, no direct access to the stuffing.
The weight added isn’t much, but enough to make the legs a little floppy. I used the zipper area to undo the mesh and take some plush out because I like my plushies floppy. The normal stuffing is pretty good nonetheless.
I’m 5’3” and cuddling with them is fun. The fabric is soft, and they look so derpy and cute. In my opinion, it’s a great rep of the chupacabras. They look like a puppy on my bed, and they sit and sprawl well.
If you love chupacabras, like big chunky plushies, and don’t mind a zipper (which is easily forgettable), I totally recommend this guy.
