- I received the Amazon toy catalog and fell in love with the photo of this unicorn stuffy. Love at first sight for sure. (And yes, I’m a grown woman who loves soft, pink unicorns. Life is hard. Let me have this.) The price was on the high side for a stuffed animal that was going to do nothing but lay on my bed and smile at me until my heart exploded from derpy joy, but the size of it and the promise of its softy, softy fur made me feel like the investment would be worth it. It arrives vacuum sealed in a box, and I made certain to follow the instructions upon opening it. That meant stuffing it into my best friend’s dryer (she insisted that I wait to open it until I was at her house so that she could video my unboxing reactions–and then post it to our group chats) to fluff it up to the promised size and alleged fluffiness of the photo. The size is accurate. It’s absurdly (and adorably) huge. The fluffiness of actual stuffing does NOT meet the expectations of the photo.The head is solidly stuffed, but the body isn’t. Particularly around the neck. As you can see from the photos I posted, the legs, body, and neck don’t have adequate stuffing to really fill it out. The unicorn can never hold its head up. It’s always lolling to one side which, in the scheme of all things stuffed, isn’t the worst thing in the world. It IS super, super soft with glittery hooves and a pastel rainbow mane, all of which are perfect for snuggling fabulousness. I just wish that it wasn’t so floppy, because I feel like I got shorted on stuffing. Or the manufacturer got distracted (or decided to save a few bucks) and only half filled my unicorn.The plus side of less stuffing is that the unicorn is flexible enough to bend and twist into whatever space is available. This raises the cuddling factor to ‘exceeds expectations.’I’m guessing that children would be less critical of a half stuffed unicorn body, so this may be the perfect thing for those stuffy lovers under the age of 13. For adults looking for a mythical snuggle buddy, you may want to ascertain your expectations of stuffing before purchasing this. If floppy is your thing, this is your unicorn.
