Let me start by saying, if you're an anime fan on a budget but craving that adorable 'fumo' plushie vibe, this Deaboat Doll is a surprisingly solid choice. I got the Cirno version (of course!), and she arrived perfectly intact with all her little accessories - bow, dress, everything. No missing parts like some reviews warned!
The first thing I noticed was how SOFT this plush is. The PP cotton filling gives it that perfect squishiness while maintaining shape. At 9 inches tall, it's substantial enough to hug but still portable - mine currently rides shotgun in my work bag as an emotional support ice fairy.
Now let's be real: the fabric does have that slightly 'bootleg-ish' texture some reviewers mentioned. It's not premium velvet-soft, but honestly? For the price difference compared to official fumos, I'll take it. The stitching is neat though - no loose threads, and the facial details are shockingly accurate for a knockoff.
Pro tip: One came slightly wrinkled from packaging (like another reviewer experienced), but 10 minutes of gentle fluffing and it looked brand new. My teen cousin immediately claimed my Marisa version because 'the hair is so soft!' - which seems to be a universal compliment across characters.
Would I buy again? Already did! Got Reimu coming next week. Just manage expectations - these aren't official goods quality, but for $20? Absolute steal for anime merch addicts like me who can't justify $100+ plushies.
