This sweet bear came as a Christmas gift to us - it is very soft and looks totally cute - not only our daughter was completely blown away by the sweet guy. He survived with no problems the first wash, it is filled with very soft and granular partially. His scarf he wears tight around his neck! He not fusselte and was processed properly! Therefore he gets from us the highest score - every child should have a teddy bear that accompanies it from the very beginning - this one is highly recommended !!
