Melissa & Doug Giant Cheetah - Lifelike Stuffed Animal (Stands Nearly 3 Feet Tall)

I just received this item from Amazon that has a great price on it and am very happy. Others have said that it does not stand up on its own by my Cheetah stands just fine. The tail is long and and interesting and the Cheetah is a great height compared to the Zebra, Giraffe, Penguin and Lion-which my son also has. I bought this ultimately so he could play with it but also for decoration of his nursery (he is 1 year old). as a Savannah scene. I cannot imaging getting a better deal than $47 with free shipping through Amazon Prime! This is from Melissa and Doug so you know they have great quality. If you have other animals from this series it has the same look and feel and if you don't-this is a great place to start. What child would not want this cheetah?FYI, I love all the Melissa and Doug animals and the older kids that come over to play with our son have so much fun playing with them and pretending they are real. Because of their size they are so much better than just small versions and look great as nursery decor as well!

This was a xmas gift for my 4 year old. It was fun to have this sitting out by the tree for her on xmas morning and she absolutely loved it! It is BIG. It's very sturdy and well made. Looks so lifelike and is just so cool to have in a kids room. She dresses him up in hats and scarves, wrestles him, pushes him around and then attempts to "ride him" and he still sits up straight after all her rough play (goodness, my mind is in the gutter! lol). This also looks like it will be around for a long time. It's a toy that can grow with your kid. Right now she really plays with it and as she gets older it will just be cool room decor.

Goodness, what a nice plush! The box he came in was so large I decided to unpack him outside on the porch. My cats promptly fluffed out and started swearing at him! It took them a few minutes to inspect him and decide that he was not a "real" cat. He is well- proportioned for a plush toy, especially a cheetah--so many I have seen are simply a generic feline form with spots and a cheetah tag attached. I sat him up with no adjustment and he is quite impressive. His coat is short and stiff; as others have noted the color can be altered from pale yellow to rich orange by petting him in different directions. The pieces are well put together and the seams tight. His stuffing is smooth and even; his head is a hard foam "skull" and nicely sculpted. I have seen similar quality in other brands for 2-3 times the price. I have named him Cholmondeley (chumley) and he may become part of my office décor, if I can fit him in the car to get him there! If not he will be a conversation piece in my living room.

My son adores this thing, literally sleeps with it next to him. Its very sturdy and stands upright but somehow is also soft and cuddly. Its pricey, but its a well made product.

Love it! Great quality and not too heavy for my 18 month old

We bought this cheetah for our five year old son who is absolutely obsessed with cheetahs. It arrived in a huge box, which our cat attempted to jump into, until he saw the plastic eyes of the stuffie staring at him. After I finished unboxing it, the cat stared into the cheetahs eyes with so much fear that all of his hair stood on end. Now he is trying to avoid the large stuffie and when I carried him past the stuffie he tried to claw its eyes out. I know our child will squeal with glee. But will our cat ever fully recover?! Once our kid puts the cheetah into his bedroom, our house cat may never sleep with him again. This could be a perfect deterrent for someone trying to keep their roommates cats out of their bedroom. Or if you want to keep your cat out of your office, away from your houseplants, you could use it as a protective guardian. Beware! So cute and realistic your cats might be terrified.

What else is there to say?It's really tall, well put together.

Great product
