GUNDSesame Street Elmo Stuffed Animal, 20 inches

I was looking for a first Elmo for my Elmo loving 2 year old. I was really worried about getting an Elmo that didn't look like him, but he is perfect! He's shaggy and cute and just the right size. Dont worry about him being too hard because he's not, he's soft and cuddly just some weights in his seat to keep him sitting up, barely noticable. He's the perfect size for my 2 year old to carry around and he looks as though he will last a long time. Most important he looks just like the real Elmo! Highly recommended!Update: I wanted to update this review since my daughter just got her Gund Elmo stuffed toy for Christmas. This was her favourite present, she barely paid any attention to any thing else and carried it with her everywhere. So, not only did I love it, it is officially toddler approved. She was watching Elmo and kept looking at the doll and looking up at the T.V! I also think she loved the softness as she kept rubbing his fur on her cheek. LOVE THIS ELMO!Update: 8 Months later:This Elmo is officially a keeper. My daughter carry's him everywhere and has since she got him. Usually she goes through phases and favourites only last a few months at most, I expected the same with this Elmo, but he is still her favourite, she even sleeps with him. Only issue we had with him as regards to the quality of the product is, during her teething period she liked to chew and bite things, unfortunately Elmo became a victim, she chewed the top "lip" and the black fabric that covers the inside of his mouth tore, exposing the white plastic (not cardboard as stated in another review) it is basically irrepearable, although I will ask my mother in law who has sewn many a ripped toy. Everything else is in good condition, he has even taken a few "baths" by putting him in a pillow case then on a delicate cycle in the washing machine, this worked well and he came out looking and smelling brand new and nothing broke or ripped. My daughter is pretty rough on him so aside from his mouth, he has lasted well till this point. We often set him next to the tv while Elmo is on and he really is a great replica. Again his size is perfect for a toddler or young child, she carrys him easily but he is big enough to look realistic. Anyone looking for a good quality, realistic, soft, first Elmo, this is the one. We are considering buying a new one now my Daughter has stopped teething, and sneaking the old one out to replace him since he has the tear in his mouth, but not sure as he is the original fav, just doesn't seem right! Only real thing I could say that would make him just totally perfect would be that, I noticed the real Elmo is very shaggy, this one is shaggy but not like the real one, he would really be perfect if they could make his fur shaggier and evidently make the fabric in his mouth tougher. Oh and btw, he is super cute!

So let me preface this by saying I did a ton of research on Elmo plushes before settling on this one, the 20" Gund with soft eyes. I didn't particularly want soft eyes because of the propensity for staining, but what I really wanted was the quality and LOOK of the fur that looks like the actual puppet. Elmo's fur looks kind of thread like compared to normal stuffed animal fur, which was hard to determine online in stuffed animals. I was afraid the 20" Elmo online from other brands wouldn't have that nice fur that the 13" Gund Elmo does, so I took a chance with this.He arrived promptly and on time in a bag inside an Amazon box. His stuffing is pretty full including his eyes making them stiff and almost a little hard, but he's still a little floppy from his arms and legs. His cardboard or thin plastic mouth, whatever is under the fabric, is pretty stiff meaning the front of his face isn't very soft, but his fur! OMG his fur! It's exactly as I'd hoped and looks like the 13" model stock photos despite being the 20" model. It's really silky and sort of shiny actually. The proper official sesame Street Gund tags were in place letting me know this is a genuine article. Feels very high quality for the price of about $23.His size is accurate. To give you an idea, I placed a Hershey's kiss on him. I bought this for a 27 month old and think it's the perfect size, what a normal size stuffed animal is. I'm glad I didn't get the smaller 13" because it's just too small to really be a huggable buddy for a toddler. I also bought the playskool jumbo plush cookie monster to go with this Elmo as a Christmas gift because Gund only makes the smaller cookie monster. I hope cookie is as awesome as this Elmo!Update on review and added photos after receiving Playskool jumbo cookie monster:So this Gund Is far superior in quality to the playskool jumbo cookie monster, but I love that their sizes compliment one another. Still glad I went with the Gund Elmo, just a little sad that Gund doesn't make Cookie monster in the sane size. I will save the review on Cookie for that particular item, but Do like how both have that similar thread quality like fur like the real puppets. They complement each other well, but it's clear Gund is definitely superior in softness, quality and workmanship.

Good size and very soft

I wanted an Elmo with no hardware, no talking, no singing, just snuggles. This is PERFECT. It is soft, fuzzy, doesn't shed, and the eyes are soft and made of material. It's well made and quite huggable, I tested it before giving to my daughter. She's 21 months. Her eyes lit up and she yelled, "ELMO"! She sleeps with it, it lays on the couch with her, it sits next to her reading. She's a petite kid, 50% ht/wt on the scales, and she can easily tote this thing around and it doesn't overwhelm her. Unfortunately it's now part of the menagerie that must be in the bed when she sleeps, so we have a stuffed bird, stuffed rabbit, a plastic baby from Target, a sheep lovey, a rabbit lovey, a bear lovey, a frog lovey that holds her binky, and now Elmo. I don't quite get how there is room for her in there but she makes it work. Anyway, if you are looking for no noise, no mechanical bits, just a stuffed animal that will be loved to baldness, this is the one to get.

My grandson gave up on Pooh Bear as his bestest friend when this Elmo arrived. I think it is the sooooo soft fur. Very well made. Doesn't shed and gets dragged around and sat out when no seat available and still looks like new! Great buy!

Un beau cadeau

Después de mirar muchos peluches similares me decanté por este y he de decir que el tamaño es el adecuado, un muñeco en condiciones. La similitud con el personaje es PERFECTA, no es una copia barata con los ojos pintados, sin dedos en los pies y de mala calidad, es igual que el original y se nota de calidad. El pelo es suave y a mi hijo de un año le ha encantado. Yo he tenido la mala suerte de que se ha roto la tela de una pierna sin más, pero estoy convencido de que se trata de un fallo puntual de mi muñeco porque el conjunto es realmente bueno. Pensaba que era carísimo por 50€ pero creo que lo vale por la calidad a pesar de que el mío ha tenido ese problema. Amazon o la empresa vendedora han respondido perfectamente y me hacen el reembolso. Lo comprare de nuevo porque me ha encantado.

Leider ist die Farbe sehr grell und glänzend, eher eine Art Rosa-Rot. Hat uns nicht gefallen und wir haben ihn zurück geschickt.

My daughter loves Elmo and I have several Elmo toy related products but she loves this Big Elmo. He even gets to go on journeys with us and sleep in her bed. It keeps her happy, making me happy in the process; even if I think I've had enough of the little red guy to last a lifetime.

Bello, ben fatto e le dimensioni sono ottime per mia figlia di 2 anni e mezzo. Sarà sicuramente uno dei suoi pupazzi preferiti.La spedizione insuperabile; domenica sera ordinato ed il pacco mi è stato consegnato martedì mattina.Complimenti.
