StarCraft Zergling/Baneling Reversible Plush

I want to start the review off (and will later finish it the same way) by saying I love my 'ling! This is one of those plushes I have been looking forward to getting for quite some time, and now having it in hand can say it was very much worth getting.Gushing love, ecstatic squee-ing, and acidic goo aside, it is important to note some important 'challenges' my dear 'ling faces and endures:- It does not transform between zergling and baneling quickly or easily. Patience is a must if you do not want to mangle or damage your poor 'ling as you make sure all relevant bits are pushed in or pulled out, especially the zipper (who knew 'ling's had a zipper?). Transforming your 'ling will probably not be a frequent activity, especially if you want to extend the life of this plush.- One must accept the 'uniqueness' of each individual 'ling (even if they all spawn from the same zerg gene pool). That is to say, you will not get your 'ling to look exactly quite like the promotional pictures. Specifically, the legs will not look quite as sturdy an rigid when posed, the abdomen will not look quite a 'smoothly' plump on the baneling form, and - short of a ton of spray starch and careful application of a clothes iron - the wings will not be quite as straight back in profile. All of these things were to be expected, however, given the necessary structural requirements of a transforming 'ling plush.- Speaking of legs and their sturdiness (or lack thereof): The legs are quite nicely filled, but lack a certain rigidity where they attach to the body of the 'ling (again, this to allow for its transforming capabilities). This means posing one's 'ling and getting it to hold that pose can be quite the challenge, especially when in its zergling form (I just tell myself it is tuckered out from chasing Terrans hither and thither).To be clear, I am not bashing on this 'ling plush. I really quite love it, and only regret that I am not a millionaire capable of buying a swarm's worth of them! But, I do feel the above 'challenges' are important things for any prospective 'ling owner to take note. That all aside, though, a completely worthy addition to my Blizzard plush collection, and to my plush collection as a whole.I absolutely love my 'ling!

This StarCraft plush was the perfect gift for my boyfriend.My boyfriend loves StarCraft, and the Zergling is his favorite StarCraft character to play with. I decided to buy this for him, after he hinted at it.This plush is almost perfectly true to the colors seen in the game, even when reversed to be a Baneling (though he says the green isn't perfect). While it's not perfect, he can agree it's pretty close.It's a great quality plush. It can reverse into the different forms and I'm not afraid it's going to rip.It comes in a smal bag that has the StarCraft logo on it, and my boyfriend likes to use this bag to hold his gym clothes for when we have class together. It's just another great addition to the plush as a gift overall.Overall, it's the perfect gift for a StarCraft lover. It's a good size, it can be two different characters, and the colors are almost perfectly true to the game. I recommend this for any StarCraft lover that loves Zerglings or Banelings.

Great little fellow, although his wings might need some stretching out, he and his developed suicidal baneling forms are a lot of fun to have "climbing" forth from behind books and the like (allows for the best usage of the quite sturdy legs they have :) -although they might have eaten a marine or 2 too many to stand perfectly for more than a couple of days unless placed so that they are climbing :)Note that they have a great size (were surprised at how big it is!).The colors read well, and only things keeping the review from 5 is the slight cracking of the baneling spots and a unique twitch it has to its upper lip (yes they even included such details :) ).I would definitely recommend it for fans of the games :)Have fun with the lings :D

Pure evil cuddly awesomeness. A great gift for a Starcraft fan, especially one with a sense of humor. Seems well made and I couldn't be happier with it.

a great gift for my Starcraft loving son!

But two of them so I can have one inside out really neat item but the legs are very flimsy and the wings to

I can destroy my enemies with the might of the zerg on my desk better now.

I love it. Once the wings opened up they were a bit squished due to stocking. This plus is great!
