Aurora Plush 12" Mimi, Aurora Babies Toy Maltese

My daughter got this for her birthday. She really likes it a lot. It's very cute, and it's incredibly soft. It's one of the softest plush toys I've encountered. We all really like this one a lot!

First off, I got mine from Amazon. This thing does NOT look like the picture at all. While, the materials are definitely the same, the patch work has gone to the gutter. The eyes are not aligned correctly so the dog looks cross-eyed. The front legs are longer than the back legs, which reduces the cuteness. The face on mine is frowning instead of begging. It looks like they either outsourced the handiwork or cut production costs, because their quality has drastically declined. I bought the panda plush at the same time, and it as well has the same problems--uneven shapes, sad faces, obvious seams. I would not even want this stuff given to me, so how do you expect me to give them away as presents? I will no longer purchase products from Aurora again.

This Aurora plush toy is adorable, the face looks exactly like my Maltese. It stands on it's own just like the picture. I ordered through Amazon, not a seller, and it is PERFECT. I honestly don't know what L.Smith is talking about...this dog came new & factory packed with it's Aurora Babies tags!
