FIRST IMPRESSION (externally)
The first impression was unfortunately anything but positive, because the eye falls first nunmal on externals and thus the plush. This is same quality really more than poor. In this price range you can certainly expect that it is nice soft and thick faux fur, but instead you get a not cozy "Soft Toy" with sparse "hair" (see my uploaded photos). The base material acts not very robust. Even the poor plush and the underlying lack or complete absence of padding ensure that the hard plastic inside the head and entire torso keeping wirktlich directly converting or touch the areas very uncomfortable in his hand. High unconvincing are the protruding longer hair on the head of the monkey. They feel neither good nor not seem more robust than the rest. At least the monkey HAART.
Made in China. We can only hope that the plasticizer, ears, hands and feet are not harmful to health in the face.
EFFECTS
As for the effects, I have to disagree with the previous speakers. Although I'm not saying that I would have recognized all 100+, but I think it should still be at least 60-70. Finally, smaller and bigger, slower and faster movements of the head must be counted for individually in all directions, half or almost all the closing of the eyes, different interval lengths might broadly similar sounding noises, many different sounds per se (snoring, giggle, sigh, Drinking, squeaks, etc.), etc. When you put the finger instead of the banana into little mouth each separate or combined foot, nose and mouth movement, it shows that it even sucks vigorously, so that also offers a mouth 'movement. I think this may even agree with the 100+ There are m. E. felt too many effects, than that you can individually make really perfect.
Of the effects creates a grandiose idea was anyway implemented qualitatively convincing. Here the monkeys can score in every event and recoup some of its bad fur fabric.
SOUND
The aforementioned number of different sounds that are the monkeys of themselves, sound sweet and authentic. They are trouble-free, so no noise or similar. It is rare to hear in passing light engine noise when the baby monkey turns his head very far or fast. But this fall really only the extremely attentive observer. Annoying I do not find the sounds, see something anyway rather than "White Noise", which will not bother me. The monkey reached now being expected no volume level, which is one pulls through and through and the whole neighborhood what it is ... All in all, the sounds just as convincing as the other effects ...
OTHERS
The packaging is visually very appealing. When unpacking but you quickly realize that the unpacking is not intended for children's hands.
The manual is very sparse, most effects discovers therefore only directly while playing.
The battery compartment is screwed, which makes changing batteries a bit more complicated. But this perhaps may also be an advantage because the tray can not open due to the accidental pressing of a click closure under the thin skin.
Despite the high price are not in batteries. Needed four batteries 1.5V LR14 C.
CONCLUSION
Considering the price due to the outer material or bad quality plush is difficult for me a buy recommendation. On the other hand convince clearly the effects that are likely to keep the interest of every child for a longer time. Maybe you can also teach his child so equal that the inner values finally are more important than the outer. And from the "behavior" her our little friend Cuddles is (pink "ribbons" on Stietz and pink printed diaper) now really a grateful and dear sunshine. In this respect I think that the purchase would be worth in any case, if the price falls so at least nor to 40-50 EUR. Then the price / performance ratio would still okay, more than 80 EUR but you should perhaps think twice about buying ...
