I got Twilight Werewolf as a gift for a friend of mine, hence why I have no photos to attach. They arrived in perfect condition, with soft fur, adorable expression, clean embroidery, excellent design, & long-lasting materials. This was a great choice as a gift for my friend who loves spooky stuff & cute things.
Pros:
-Made of 100% polyester. Body is soft to the touch & sensory-friendly for the most part! Once brushed out, even the thicker pile scratchy fabric on the face is softer than when it arrived.
-Good quality materials were used. Most of the plush feels like standard polyester, with portions being softer polyester, polyester minky, thicker polyester, & polyester faux-fur.
-Embroidery is not thick enough to be a sensory issue. It feels fine to the touch, just like most good-quality embroidery does. It is not thick nor chunky at all. Embroidery used is high quality, showing a cohesive image & design.
-Lovely design, great color palette, expressive eyes, silly weighty tail, & cute ears; their soft yellow paw pads make this darling even more cute to behold!
-Well-stuffed & well-made overall; filled well with soft stuffing, giving them a firm, huggable feel when held. This plush will easily stand the test of time; seems like it won’t wear down easily!
-Even if small issues - like accidental rips or seams accidentally popping open - do happen, they are not at all hard to fix due to the wonderful quality of the materials used.
-As advertised, especially in size. I may lovingly call my little ones ‘little,’ but they ain’t no small fry! At approximately 20” tall, this wolf is lovably large! For reference, 17oz plastic water bottles are 9” in height, the average Build-A-Bear is 14” in height, & standard modern Care Bear plushies are 8”-14” in height. Each of the Snughouls are bigger than all of these!
Cons:
-Mine arrived with a few small pieces of clear plastic that were embedded into several of the embroidery edges & small furry areas. While tedious to fix, I managed to do so by prying them up with a sewing needle by hand & then ripping them out from where the plastic backing had become trapped in the fur. Compared to my Bites-A-Lot in the same order, Twi had notably less plastic that needed removing than Batty did.
-Tag texture is a bit rough for me; this is due to my texture sensitivities, especially related to paper-based materials.
-If you have texture sensitivities to long pile fabric, you could spend some time removing the small amount of scratchy long pile fabric this cutie has on their face, then either leave it as-is or replace it with softer fabric… or simply accept that this little one ain’t for you. As someone with extreme texture sensitivities myself, the long pile fabric on Twi bothered me a lot. Even after brushing it out & getting it softer than it was straight out of the box, I found that I couldn’t enjoy cuddling with them due to the texture of the long facial fur, so I gifted them to a friend who ended up absolutely loving them, so it all worked out!
Overall, Twilight Were is a cutie patootie & a sleepy adorable one! With some mild tendencies to fall asleep at inappropriate times, this cutie will still lovingly look to you to add them to your Cryptid Cuddler Crew! Mostly soft to the touch & adorable to look at with such a unique design, this purple weirdo (meant lovingly) is the perfect addition to any home. I would highly recommend getting them, so long as the long pile fur doesn’t bother you!
