★★★★★Everyone needs a bundle of embodied grumpiness
This is the best purchase I have made in years. I rank it slightly above the mattress and bed frame I bought for my new apartment. I hope the producers exploit this just a teeny bit more and make variations of this joyous bundle of negativity. I will buy them all.

★★★★★Adorable grumpy penguin.
This adorable plush came full-sized in a box and was not vacuum-packed. As pictured, the eight-inch dimensions are actual. It's very squishable and cute despite its less-than-friendly demeanor. Great gift idea!
