Wild Republic Hanging Three Toed Sloth Plush, Stuffed Animal, Plush Toy, Gifts for Kids, Zoo Animals, 30 inches

Meet Gomer and Pyle. These two lovely sloths came to live with my daughters (as well as their Wild Republic red pandas, Rusty and Ginger) a few weeks ago. We are all animal enthusiasts at our house and let our interests lead our learning about the creatures we see on TV and at the zoo. Since the girls don’t like to share, we typically buy things in pairs, as we did this time with the sloths. Because I wasn’t sure of which to purchase after reading the varying reviews, answers to questions, and descriptions of two seemingly similar sloths on Amazon, I ordered one of each: The “Wild Republic Cuddlekin Three Toed Sloth 12" Plush” (item http://amzn.to/1Pn3xmG) and the “Wild Republic Hanging 3 Toed Sloth” (item http://amzn.to/1P1MIdo). After comparing tags and obvious features, I carefully observed their interaction with my daughters. Here is my own assessment of these two guys:“Wild Republic Cuddlekin Three Toed Sloth 12" Plush” (item http://amzn.to/1Pn3xmG) -Meet Pyle. He’s not too happy. Pyle’s scowling face effectively portrays his jealousy of his brother’s long arms. It’s easy to tell which one is Pyle when looking at my pictures: dark brown eyes, short arms, sour smile, big nose (and possibly legs for arms?). He also lacks the ability to independently hug anything. I may just do some minor surgery to correct this disability. Maybe he can learn to smile after that. He’s really still just as soft and cuddly as his brother though.“Wild Republic Hanging 3 Toed Sloth” (item http://amzn.to/1P1MIdo) -Now meet Gomer. He’s as laid back and happy as a Three-Toed Sloth comes. Gomer tries to cheer his brother, Pyle, up daily by wrapping his long arms around him and holding on tight. He seemed really happy while hugging me for a quick photo. He has a smaller nose than Pyle and his eyes are lighter brown in color. For almost the same Prime price, Gomer definitely delivers more cheer.- Side note: Neither momma or creature was impressed with the NG nonfiction book “Swing, Sloth!”. It was more a picture book about the rain forest with only 3 pages of sloth pictures and very little information. To NG’s credit, it is labeled as a pre-reader. The cover photo and title were just misleading.

Ours is named "Sluggy" (sloth/huggy) and he is ridiculously soft and squishy, huggable, cuddly...he has long arms that make him "hangable" on your neck or around a small waist or from anything in your home or child's room. He did smell a bit chemically upon arrival, but I am highly sensitive so having few smells allowed in my house means any smell seems strong, but certainly more chemically smelling than other furballs from amazon. Good news though, he aired out on his own in about 4 days.He is really a good quality for the price and compared to other ,much smaller stuffed sloths, he is Cheaper but cannot be less quality than the smaller, more costly ones. I would say he is pretty comparable to a Jellycat which has several animals with this type of fur which looks a bit wild and wire-y but is super soft, while it stands straight up from his head but doesn't feel like it should be able to stand straight up due to its fluffy softness.He is lightweight and any kid or kid at heart would love this guy if they love sloths or stuffed animals.I saw a question above and I would say for crib age kids, since he is big and the hair is kind of long, he may be smothering if the child sleeps with it. I would not think it is safe to sleep with until maybe toddler age, where other animals are considered "safe", this one would make me nervous at bedtime. However, he is such a huggable softy, there might be tears and outstretched arms at trying to keep him out of the crib. For those who don't stick with ages listed on tags, this guy maybe be for playtime, hanging from the stroller etc. I think it just depends on the parents and the kids, it "floats" along the line of judgement which could go either way I suppose.

Adorable! Just the right size and right length to hang around your neck! The fur and width is so life like as the videos of tourist holding sloths in Honduras. They were perfect hugging sloth for a daughter’s 40th birthday and her Mother’s post surgery Gift. the 30” length and thin body of the sloth convey its size as two adult 5 ft 5” women stand side by side holding them. there were others that were more like stuff animals, others that were weighted down and bottom legs were stiff and molded to sit.They are so huggable, great emotional support

This product is well made, soft and was a hit with my 4 year old daughter.

Grandbaby loved it! Is good quality

I bought this sloth coming back from Costa Rica since I didn’t find any I liked. I used Velcro so it’s feet can also grip. I didn’t want it to hang like a monkey. Anyway, my only complaint is that it sheds a lot! As long as you use it for decoration, it’s all good. I do not recommend it to give to a child. You will have clumps of faux fur all over.

I knew when I started decorating this room I needed some stuffed animals. So on to Amazon I searched. I came across this sloth an knew she must join out team of watchful protectors of our rainforest classroom.I’m so glad we chose her to add into our decor, she’s adorable and soft.

Bought this for my 5 yr old grandson for Christmas and he just loved it! It is so cute! It has Velcro on the paws so you can carry him. My grandson also sleeps with him.
