The opinion that it is very very warm after extended play I can not confirm. It's just like having a glove on. Also does not shed my Lucy. I can only conclude that the record on the snout is not very easy. The grip of the hand in its mouth is quite loose and it takes some practice. The quality is excellent! The color actually lighter than in the picture. Practicing is worthwhile, because the fun factor is huge! Lucy is also very cute! After some practice, you can show some facial expressions.
