This is one of the greatest plushies I have ever owned. He is even more beautiful than I was expecting. Lovely soft and fluffy fabric (even his gold bits which I was expecting to just be plain felt, are a nice fluffy material!). He stands on his own. Super squishy belly. He is everything I was hoping for and more. Highly recommend it for any fans of Arceus or Pokemon. For the amazing quality of a Pokemon plushie from Japan, it's a really good price too.
