i bought this lion off of amazon because it was one of the first made with no w on the paw. It is not like the newer ones because it looks like it has the mange and the hairs are sooo ugly lol. but i didnt buy it for looks my 5 yr old doesnt care, its so ugly its cute and he named it Scar LOL. The shipper was lightning fast and great pkg. I love the little ugly lion, but if youre looking for something soft and cuddly to start with, get the chihuahua or Pug, the long haired persian cat gets white synthetic hairs all over your clothes like a real animal and so does the poodle. I reccommend a softer one for a first purchase but i do love the lion.
