Review: Bought this for kid after watching a mini show about hermit crabs. It is a nice small size for a toddler to carry and very cute! Material is soft, colors are nice, and quality of the sewing is good. I like that there is a small bead filling inside to help give it a nice weight when held. It is not too heavy at all and adds a feeling of quality to the doll. Great little unique toy, as there are not many hermit crab plush options out there. My kid loves it!
Review: Adorable and soft plush toy, great quality! But photos are misleading. It is much smaller then pictured
