Meiki® Plush DX

The shape is good, although the shoulders look a little weird. The size is okay, realistic for say a very short person. Its feels nice and soft, not too squishy or too firm. It is exactly what you would think it is, a woman shaped stuffed animal.My biggest problem is with insertion of a sleeve. The pictures and description show that you can unzip the hole in the back and use your hand to pull the sleeve inside. Although when I attempted to do so, I heard a pop. It was clear the stitching was beginning to break with my arm inside, and my arms are quite thin.To avoid damaging the plush further, I instead put a plastic bag around my sleeve and it slid into the hole perfectly, without having to pull it through using the hole in the back. I would recommend this method over the way it is advertised, otherwise your doll may begin to lose its shape from the stitching breaking at the waist.Overall it's pretty fragile, but so long as you are careful it's a good cheap doll. The pocket in the back was supposed to be an improvement over the previous model, but instead it seems to compromise the structural integrity of the plush. If Meiki was trying to fix the difficult insertion problem, this didn't work. But its plenty easy to find your own solution.
