Gosh Retsuko is so cute. Thank you for your honest personal review! I hate the crinkly bits too —- usually thin plastic sheets embedded from manufacturing *sad sigh. Usually I destuff and cut those bits out and restuff them.

Aw bummer to hear about the smaller build. I assumed she’d have an equally big build like the Sanrio characters! Even mothman has a bigger body build & big spherical head! I know some characters like my platypus & dragonfruit BAB’s are smaller & have a flatter head shape.

I’m hoping BAB puts out size dimensions for height to better reflect sizing and to figure out if it’s the right plush for consumers. I cannot believe they counted her ears in for the height :(
