I ordered this for my daughter who has recently become an Elmo fanatic. She is only 13 months old, so I wanted to get her something cuddly. While this Elmo doll is realistic, good quality, and pretty much everything advertised, it is HARD, HARD, HARD. Rather than being filled with soft stuffing, it feels like bean bag material. I imagine this will be a good doll for when she is a bit older, but for now, I will have to find something softer. This is definitely no fault of the product, just a consequence of shopping online I guess. Unlike other reviews for Elmo dolls, this one does not shed and is shaggy, which is a plus. I would recommend this for older children.

I had originally ordered the 15 inch elmo and found him to be very small. I bought this one instead. The size is great, going to be perfect for my 18 month old. As far as previous reviews saying his body is hard, he isn’t super hard. His arms and legs are the normal stuffing. While his body is slightly harder, with thicker stuffing and the only bean bag beans he has are on his bottom. This helps him to sit up without falling over… His eyes are cloth instead of the hard plastic on the smaller 15 inch version and his mouth is also made out of cardboard just like the smaller 15 inch one, this keeps his mouth open in a permanent grin. All in all I think this is a great sized Elmo, very well put together. He is shaggy, but does not shed like the Fisher Price Elmo. I would recommend for 18 months and up, a smaller child might not be able to carry him around very well simply because of his size.

We bought this Elmo doll for our 18-month old daughter this year for Christmas. So far, he seems to be pretty durable. I like that his eyes are made of fabric rather than plastic. So far, his red fur is staying on him. I was hesitant about paying almost $40 for a stuffed animal, but it looks like this guy is going to be around for a long time!

It was difficult to find an Elmo with no batteries – this one is adored by our 2-year. Plush, sits up and is a great toy for him to snuggle with. Talking Elmo’s are insanity.
