These guys need to drop the "We're too good for plastic eyes" stuff... I think that's part of the reason the likenesses are thrown out the window.

Yeah. The furry skin is not so bad, though I'd prefer otherwise, but fuzzy eyeballs are just weird.

It's not so much the fuzziness as the mushiness... They're just slightly the wrong shape, and it throws the likeness off. I guess it's a little kids younger than 3 safety thing, but the only 2 things that really bug me (aside from the price) are the off colors (are they using natural dyes that can't get the right colors or something) and the floppy eyes.

All and all, better than the Tomy Fraggle plush. Those things looked terrible.

I want a Sprocket plush... but I want a Sprocket plush that actually looks like Sprocket.
