I have based this monster here on Amazon directly from a dealer in the United States. The monster was approximately 1 month here (but was also so in the shipping information). I am satisfied with the monster. It is beautifully finished, very fluffy (though a little fluff, I think that there is still) and detailed. It has, for example. very pretty little teeth, a cute tongue etc. Actually, you'd need three hands to play it perfectly, because one hand is busy with the head and one slips with the other hand in one of the two feet inside. The monster is quite large. I am happy with this purchase. For all lovers of monsters.
Note for ordering at the American distributors: My Monster remained in inch hanging and had to be picked up there and nachverzollt (but were only a few euros).
