I've bought a few of these for my family. I had purchased a few as gifts. My family members that didnt received them became legitimately jealous. I placed another order andI decided to get them these this past holiday season. The plushes are weighted nicely and are able to sit up on their own. I have one in my car as does my mom. These are an excellent representation of TOM's mascot. I hope to continue buying more and gift them out every year!
