I was sad when I couldn't back this series of Shunghouls and missed out on the sakura one the first time around. But now, he is mine! He's very soft and cuddly, the extra long shaggy parts are the same texture as Thornheart and not Wispy Winds. I really like the quality of the fabrics chosen! The embroidery on them is also very good, though some might find the elastic stabilizer crinkling sound unpleasant. I love playing with mine's ears when I'm anxious. They're also perfect size to sit in your lap and rest your chin on.
