I bought this duck for me when my house decided that heating in the winter wasn't necessary and it was very grey outside (im a student).
It arrived quickly enough with amazon prime in a plastic bag in a brown envelope which wasn't particularly impressive, but it has its little intelex label convincing me i wasn't being ripped off.
For the first few weeks it shed a bit of fluff which is expected with these plush toys and it also tends to get really hot when just out the microwave, so its probably not the best thing for very small children.
This duck has happened to be playfully thrown but it is a heavy ducky and it does hurt with potential to leave bruising upon impact, keeping in mind this was "adults" throwing it about.
Overall its an adorable cuddly toy and if used appropriately for the purpose it was intended it would keep anyone with a soft spot for toys happy and warm (once heated it lasts a while ^.^), definitely worth it :)
