We had the "Captain Calamari" really concerned as a gift for our nephew, but since then I have given it our 5 months old daughter to "test", it is their favorite toy. The processing of the toy is very good. However, I have not yet washed it in the washing machine. The existing with bright colors and from different materials "arms" are partially filled with a crackling material. In addition, two (biting) rings and an existing plastic ball attached with small balls. The "hat" crackles also! To hang on playpens or car attachment is attached above. Our little girl is very excited and busy also times a long time alone.
