Lovely Lion Stuffed Animal Hugging Toy Soft Cuddly Little Plush Lion Gifts for Kids 9.8 Inches

I collect plush lions because my husband's Zodiac sign is Leo and I use them to help cheer me up when he has to travel for work. When I saw this lion's adorable, but sad expression...I just had to have him.This plush Lion comes vacuum sealed and unfortunately this fabric is not vacuum sealing friendly...this plush is very wrinkled. If the wrinkles were just on the body, no big deal, but a huge wrinkle right across the face just takes away from the cuteness. This plush is very lightly stuffed and has nicely embroidered eyes, nose, mouth, and paws. The fur in the mane and tail looks nothing like advertised in photos and is not a nice quality material (I took a photo of where the hair is missing/very thin in spots). I gently brushed it the best I could to get it to look halfway presentable. The lion's tail isn't finished, you can see the hole at the top where it was supposed to have been sewn together (which I included a photo of).Overall, it's still a really cute lion plush, but unless it's on sale/clearance or the quality/craftsmanship gets better...I can't recommend this. I'm hoping this was just a one off, cause I can at least deal or try and fix some of the issues...others will be highly disappointed.

There's a lot of movies that have a lion in them and looks similar to this one. I felt my granddaughter was going give it one of the movie lion name. She took it gave it a big hug. Walked around with her ( she made it a female ) and when it was time to eat lunch she bought her to the table. Before we could ask what she was going to name the lion. She sat it down and said wait right there Mandy while I go wash my hands.
