So, the big guy—MaoGoLan's 55 Inch Giant Teddy Bear—does come stuffed, but there's a catch.
Based on our research, including feedback from folks who've bought it, and notes from the manufacturer, the bear might look a tad less plump when you first unpack it than it does in those promotional photos.
Here's why: To get it to you, the manufacturer compresses the bear for shipping, making it seem a bit deflated or thinner right out of the box. Once you unleash it from its packaging, you might need to give it a little love to puff it back up to its fluffy glory.
People have found that a bit of gentle patting or even a cool setting on a hairdryer can help reshape it, as the manufacturer suggests. This seems to be a pretty common experience.
Some folks find they're happy with the bear after giving it a quick fluff, while others decide to go the extra mile and add more stuffing themselves, especially if they want that perfect, plush look and a bear that sits up nicely. A few have mentioned buying extra stuffing just to help it hold its shape better.
The bear is made from soft plush material and filled with high-quality PP cotton, so if you do decide to add more stuffing, it'll blend in naturally and make it even cuddlier.
For some, this extra step is a fun way to customize their bear, while others would maybe prefer it looking like the photos right off the bat.
So, while it's technically fully stuffed when it arrives, you might find yourself wanting to tweak it a bit to reach that photo-ready look.
It's a simple enough task, and it lets you tailor the bear to your liking.
