And finally here

 A while back, I ordered a big plush Sisu. No, I have not seen the movie, and I know some folks have some issues with it (though I guess people do with any entertainment property, for different reasons). But I just liked the character design. And I was amused because one of the toy-blogs I read referred to her as "the Elsa dragon" (because the big eye design is reminiscent of Elsa from Frozen, and yeah, I see it)

But yes, I have a LOT of stuffed toys, but I really like the big ones now; they are kind of pet substitutes (standard comment: allergies bad enough to most furry animals, also, putting in long days at work where I *CAN'T* get home at lunch would not be good for a dog needing walks, and even some cats are not happy being left alone for so long)

But anyway. I ordered the big Build-a-Bear one, because she was objectively the cutest of the ones I'd seen, and the Build-a-Bear toys tend to be pretty good quality.

I had to WAIT. Shipped via Fed Ex, and yeah, in the middle of all this (after she was first shipped but before the box had moved much) there was the horrific shooting in Indianapolis (though my package was in Ohio, so not directly affected) but I figured Fed Ex was probably scrambling for a few days and maybe even kind of shut down.

But she came today! I arrived home at lunch to a big box on my porch and that was the only big thing I'd ordered that was still outstanding. (I had Asterix omnibus 4 on the way, but that came USPS, and that's a little flat book box)

She is very large. They said "12" tall" but I wasn't sure how that worked out in length. She is maybe 18" long? Anyway. Large:


And yes, she does have kind of an Elsa vibe, with those big lavender eyes


And then, with all that floof, and the fact that it moves around when you move her, I thought of something truly silly. (We will see if the video uploads)
