Melissa & Doug Giant Siberian White Tiger - Lifelike Stuffed Animal (over 5 feet long) - Extra Large, Plush Lifesize Tiger For Ages 3+

This tiger was a dream come true. My family has year round passes to the San Diego Zoo, and more than a few children(ok adults too) who want 1 of the massive stuffed animals in the window displays. My niece has been eyeing a $300 tiger for the last 2 years. While I would have loved to buy her that one...and almost did...i am now soooo glad I did not. Our package arrived in 3 or 4 days even with Prime, which i still think is great as it was a larger package and we din't pay any additional shipping costs. I will admit I was a bit concerned when the box first arrived as it weighed very little and was a bit smaller than i had expected. I decided to open it and give it a look before wrapping to insure I didn't get the wonky eye others had mentioned and give the weird nose a look.Our eyes were perfect!The nose is dyed, its not embroidered or a button like many other stuffed animals. I can see how it may bother some, however I view it as a bonus. For one I'm sure it's a cost thing and it doesnt bother me at all, also i know my niece wont ever give it the slightest thought. For me the best part about wonky nose is that its soft. Maybe its a little weird but y niece is going to snuggle the s*** out of this tiger and it will receive lots of nose kisses so the softer the better. Same goes for the weight, yes it is light but that will just make it easier for her to carry around.Our is solid it sits well, and really it just lovely. I loved it so much I am ashamed to admit I tried to convince my husband to let me keep it lol......yes i realize i failed to capitalize the majority of my i's.....

My daughter asked for a large white tiger for her 6th birthday. When my husband and I received this in the mail we were very happy with the size and quality of this product. My husbands greatest concern was if it was going to be large enough. The description wasn't real clear on how they got the measurements. It must have been just the body (torso) that they were measuring because it is a lot larger than we expected, but just what we hoped for. I don't think the measurements included the tail or legs. The tiger is as large as our Labrador Retriever. We were very pleased with the size and the quality of this product. It is soft, plush and has very realistic detail. And most importantly, our daughter absolutlely loves it!!! All the kids at her birthday party enjoyed it and wanted to take it home with them. Well worth the $$$.

This is my second review of a M&D plush animal. The first was for this lovely animal: Melissa & Doug Tiger PlushMy now 11 years old daughter loves... LOVES.. Tigers (notice the capital T... that's how she would say it!). For three years now she has declared her life vocation is to work with white Siberian Tigers... preferably at a rescue habitat. She has never wavered. So I knew I couldn't go wrong with purchasing (adopting, in her book) this second plush tiger to live in her bedroom with "Hobbes", the first M&D Tiger to come live with us.Honestly, I cannot remember the name she gave to her lovely white tiger. Mainly because the name is exotic. And befitting to the stature of this "magnificent creature". Yes, her words, not mine.I've read of lot of negative reviews from people on the construction, proportions and believability of this plush animal and I just don't get their complaints. For one, it's a stuffed animal people. Not even Steiff can make them THAT believable. The proportions are a little off, but then again, it's a toy. If you want lifelike proportions, again, you need to go to Steiff... if you can afford it. As for construction? Not a problem here. "Hobbes" has lived with us for two years now and his sister, this white plush Tiger. They get tons of play time with my daughter and are used as pillows, riding animals, and at tea parties. All without popping one single thread. Grant it, they are indoor animals now, so they don't get dirty and when they do, they are promptly spot cleaned by me (with a damp cloth). Again, no complaints.When I see the joy that "Hobbes" and his sister, this M&D plush White Tiger, have brought to my daughter, and the fact they are still going strong, I cannot help but HIGHLY recommend them to any Tiger enthusiasts...as well any other M&D plush.
