i wanted my small eeyore to have a friend, so i bought tigger and pooh both, but wasn't too excited about tigger until he came. You can't tell by the pic, but he is super super soft. Very happy with him, great for kids and kids at heart.

Picked this and a 14" version to replace a very dirty tigger temporarily while the original is being washed - She sleeps with it all the time, but gave it a bath in the dog's water bowl. This one has some good weight and a strong neck, yet is very soft. She loved it but it was a bit smaller - 14" is better for hugging.
