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.....
