Side by Side Comparison of: Fun Express vs Wild Republic

Donated them to my church for a special project.

Great decoration for baby shower and future toys for baby

These animals are small but so cute.

My 4 year old loves it.

These were beyond my expectations and we loved having them as a party favor fr my daughters safari birthday party! They are cute and small size , about 5 inches tall standing and perfect for little hands. They quality is an A- with most of them being pretty solid but 1-2 had a few seams loose.

AMAZING product. Bought for my daughter's birthday party and she loves them. Some of the animals eyes are a bit lopsided but my daughter thinks that makes them cute and derpy. Beware, I did get pandas and not giraffes but they're her favorite animal so it went well. I do recommend this but do some research first.

I bought this as a birthday gift for a friend who lives out of state. Sloths are her favorite animal, so of course I knew what I wanted to give her, but not many places sell sloth stuffed animals. Finding it on Amazon was a dream come true, and having purchased quality Wild Republic plushies before, I knew this was going to be a homerun. It shipped right to her door, and she was thrilled with it.

This is a stuffed animal version of a three toed sloth. It is well made. I move it slowly around my house. Everyone loves it.

It's shaggy and cute in the best way. I gave my daughter a book for Christmas and put this little guy inside the box holding the book. What a cute presentation and he's just so lovable. Can't beat it for the price. There was some tape in the fur, but I think it was to give it the effect of being matted and messy...like a sloth. My daughter has since pinned it up on her curtain rod, so he's hanging upside down like the real deal. Would purchase again and highly recommend this plush for sloth-lovers.

bought as a gift. for my girlfriend...and now lives on my bed.

His name is Clarence. He likes UFC fights and uses moderately foul language. He is one hell of a dancer, and he thinks they started mailing it in staring in season 2 of "Lost"...just like me.

The one i received doesn't look exactly like the one on the picture...the "fur" on top of his head looks like it was burnt then cut to remove the burnt parts. just adds to his character, in my opinion, but it may be an issue for some people....my version looks a little bit like Wolverine from the older comics.

He has a beanbag in his butt to help him sit up straight. his hands do not have velcro or magnets, although someone with a modicum of sewing skill could make that happen easily if so desired.

the eyes and nose are hard plastic. everything else is soft. the "fur" could shed, especially if played with frequently and/or vigorously, but it's not an issue for me.

now looking for a different sloth plush toy...Clarence needs a lady friend.

I received the sloath for my birthday as a gift from my boyfriend. Being an avid stuffed animal collector, I have collected quite a zoo in my 30 years on this planet. "Great! Another one for the collection!" I thought as I tore open the plastic packaging for my new sloth friend. Days later, things started to change....
Our first night together, he asked to borrow my car. Thinking nothing of it, I gave him the keys to my Mini Cooper and expected him back in a few minutes. Maybe he needed something from the store he was embarrassed to ask me for in his new home. Boy, was I wrong.
I received a drunken phone call from him around 3 am, telling me he had "lost my car but found a place to crash" and that he would see me in the morning. My boyfriend and I drove around the city for hours looking for a trace of him or my car with no avail.
The next day sloth showed up on my lawn, drinking from an open bottle of peach schnapps, slurring his speech, waving my debt card wildly as he proceeded to pass out on my lawn. I dragged him inside and waited for him to come to. 9 hours later, somewhat sober, he explained he had drained my bank account on belly shots and "girls" the night before.
Long story short, I never did find my car or get the money back he stole, but there is one undeniable truth in all of this: he is really cute. 100% would buy again.

Bought as items to display at baby shower. Most of the animals were good but a few of them had something wrong with their face. Good for what we used them for.

Other reviewers are definitely being too hard on these animals. Sure, they aren't perfect, but the price is (or was when I bought them) right. I got them as party favors and they were exactly what I wanted. Don't get these to use as models for your safari painting. Get them for little kids who won't care if the lion's nose is above his eyes :-).

Over all a good set of small stuffed animals.Animals are quite small in size(about 4 inches) and some have slightly squished faces.Set includes two of each animal shown in picture.

My fiance loved it since she likes animals and not many places offer a set. The quality in my order was better than the other reviewers state. I guess the companys import has improved. The animals looked clean, well sown, and cute. It is not a bad buy for the price.

Purchased these animals as party favors for my daughter's jungle themed birthday party. The kids loved them and they fit perfectly in a standard size party favor bag with room for additional items. Yes, the noses were not sewn exactly in the middle of a few of the animal faces, but the kids (8 year olds) didn't mind.

I really like these little guys. They're adorable and I had to hide them from my little dog cause she loves little toys to wrestle with :)They're not the greatest quality but 12 for $18? I wasn't expecting top notch.I plan on using them as centerpieces for my baby shower and letting the guests and/or their kids take them home afterwards. Definitely worth the $18 I spent :)

Looks super weird in person, but I bought it for my girlfriend because she really wanted a sloth plush for valentine's day, so I surprised her and got it for her birthday which is a few weeks after valentine's day (and about a month after she stopped harping on about how much she wanted it). I was worried at first, because the pictures on the store page makes it look way more adorable and fluffy than it actually is, but she loved it nonetheless. For the price, it's good. And it served my purpose!!

This toy it's a little smaller than I thought (15,75 Inches head to toe and 19,6 inches arm lentgh), very soft to the touch although its probably not a good idea to machine wash (the fibers come off easily). The stich work on the face is asymmetrical and wouldn't recommend it for a kid to use as a toy because doesn't look very resistant to everyday use. I give it 4 stars because its cute and as a display toy looks great.

Meet Gomer and Pyle. These two lovely sloths came to live with my daughters (as well as their Wild Republic red pandas, Rusty and Ginger) a few weeks ago. We are all animal enthusiasts at our house and let our interests lead our learning about the creatures we see on TV and at the zoo. Since the girls don’t like to share, we typically buy things in pairs, as we did this time with the sloths. Because I wasn’t sure of which to purchase after reading the varying reviews, answers to questions, and descriptions of two seemingly similar sloths on Amazon, I ordered one of each: The “Wild Republic Cuddlekin Three Toed Sloth 12" Plush” (item http://amzn.to/1Pn3xmG) and the “Wild Republic Hanging 3 Toed Sloth” (item http://amzn.to/1P1MIdo). Here’s my own assessment of these two guys:

“Wild Republic Cuddlekin Three Toed Sloth 12" Plush” (item http://amzn.to/1Pn3xmG) -
Meet Pyle. He’s not too happy. Pyle’s scowling face effectively portrays his jealousy of his brother’s long arms. It’s easy to tell which one is Pyle when looking at my pictures: dark brown eyes, short arms, sour smile, big nose (and possibly legs for arms?). He also lacks the ability to independently hug anything. I may just do some minor surgery to correct this disability. Maybe he can learn to smile after that. He’s really still just as soft and cuddly as his brother though.

“Wild Republic Hanging 3 Toed Sloth” (item http://amzn.to/1P1MIdo) -
Now meet Gomer. He’s as laid back and happy as a Three-Toed Sloth comes. Gomer tries to cheer his brother, Pyle, up daily by wrapping his long arms around him and holding on tight. He seemed really happy while hugging me for a quick photo. He has a smaller nose than Pyle and his eyes are lighter brown in color. For almost the same Prime price, Gomer definitely delivers more cheer.

- Side note: Neither momma or creature was impressed with the NG nonfiction book “Swing, Sloth!”. It was more a picture book about the rain forest with only 3 pages of sloth pictures and very little information. To NG’s credit, it is labeled as a pre-reader. The cover photo and title were just misleading.

I'm 25 and I love my fuzzy sloth, my cat loves it even more, dragging it all over my house. The only thing that I found a bit odd is that his fur is sewn in in some places (he's got a bit of a bald spot on his head) and has hard plastic as though it was melted. You have to pull really hard to remove the hard bits so I don't think it's any kind of hazard, just a little weird.

Stoked to have this guy, glad I got him for cheaper than he was around Christmas. My sister is sloth-obsessed and I plan to give him to her. I think she'll flip out. he's pretty cute, but not quite as cute as the picture. For everyone who is complaining that his legs are sewn on backwards, wake up! Its a sloth, he hangs upside-down from a tree all day. Have you ever seen a sloth in real-life? Their legs really are sewn on backwards.

Toys are not fancy, but good price. Not suitable for children under 3 (i.e.small parts)

Cute but not very detailed

Not very cute, ended up returning them

Much smaller than I anticipated and the animal are a little smoothed looking, but they will serve their purpose!

These items were purchased as thank you gifts for my daughters zoo themed birthday party. The kids loved them, however some of the animals in particular the lion was "deformed" the nose was off centered and the ears were not properly placed as well. Other than that minor mishap the children still enjoyed them.

They are very poorly made and the nose was set higher then the eyes on a few of them, making them unusable. I ordered them for a diaper cake, for that purpose they were alright. I would NOT recommend them for a toy. I don't imagine they would hold up.

Pros: super cute, love look of the true-ish shaggy sloth like fur, nice price point, excellent packaging, & the child who received this plushie as a gift adores it.

Cons: immediately started shedding its fur, course feeling on several seamed areas which makes it feel scratch and deters from the snuggle desired factor, large stitch protruding near one eye which shouldn't show at all. Keeping the item but will look for another brand of higher quality next time.

My son is obsessed with sloths and he loves this one but it sheds like crazy! And he's only 11 months so he tries to eat the fuz! I am going to try to wash it to see if it will shed it a bit. Our couch was covered in the fuz with in like 20 min of him having it. But he absolutely loves it so it is worth it.

I adored it...the length of its arms, and face are very cute BUT THE SMELL is close to TOXIC... I febreezed it ( should have returned it), as it was a gift I could not give it with that "sloth scent #5"...well my puppy got it, and that was it...I am hoping I just got a rare SMELLY SLOTH !!

This fellow deserves 5 stars for adorable and fluffy, but I need to average this out to 3 because, before sending it on to my granddaughter, I had to thoroughly brush it, several times, as a lot of that fluffiness included loose material. Not a good idea for little ones who put things in their mouths. (Notice that the page does indicate a choking hazard for those under 3 years old.) Buy it, but brush it!

Very cute, soft, and a good size. However, I just opened his packaging and something seems to have laid eggs (or something...) in his hair. Super gross.

Amazon app for some reason won't let me load a photo at this time.

I bought these awhile back and then purchased more for my kids to give out at Christmas. They are terrible! They look nothing like this photo and they are sewn VERY poorly. Save your money.

cheap and very small I should have known for that price

Regular quality

cheap quality

The majority of the animal's faces were deformed. Noses were place in between the eyes.

The quality was horrible. The eyes were placed in the ears on the tigers, the lions' faces looked upside down...very poor quality.

Cute toy however it did not last long before it started to fray. Kids loved it but it did not hold up long

So Cute! Daughter LOVED it! BUT... There must have been some manufacturing issue because the "fur" on the top of the head appeared "burned" and not attached properly, there were hard pieces in an otherwise super soft stuffed animal. To remove the hard pieces, the poor guy would have half the "fur" removed on his head. Super disappointed!!!

I gave this as a gift to a friend, and she loves it. But when I received it, it was shedding tufts of hard fur. It wasn't made very good.

The craftsmanship and quality of material used in the construction of this product is downright horrendous. This poor sloth looks as though it's contracted mange and it's nose so crooked he appears to be the victim of a hit and run, and lastly the arms which seem to have been sewn on backwards. Complete waste of money you'd get better quality from a claw machine... I will not be buying any Wild Republic products again.

Super cute but there is burnt/melted fur on the top of his head and around the face. It feels like something is in the fur but the ends are black like they were burned. Some of the fur was falling out.

Super small

Too small not good quality at all. Stitching messed up. You get what you pay for. Cheap cheap cheap

Very poor quality. VERY poor quality. Sewing haphazard at best. Animals' features lopsided. Material was cheesy.

The picture says it all.

This is absolutely terrible. The actual products look nothing like the picture above. DO NOT BUY THESE!!! The noses and eyes are sewn on terribly and in general they are completely different!!

I got these as a party favor for my son's birthday party. They look really cheap, and not at all as cute as they are in the picture. The packaging says that they are from Oriental Trading Co, but that is not who was listed as the seller. Very disappointed and I am almost embarrassed to give these out to the kids.

it keeps losing its hair

Horrible material.. Cute toy. Feels horrible to touch.

The materials used are disgusting. Not the finest of fabrics, not highly detailed, and not perfect for cuddling. Fur is sticky yet sheds and is not attached in many places. Pay a little extra and get the other Jelly brand!

Fur falls out, weird sticky glue things in the fur. feels old and cheap. Cute though! and my daughter loves it. but as many other people are saying, fur falling out and glue stuck in the fur.

This is a piece of (insert bad word of choice here). The fur was falling out right when I got it and there was weird stuff in the fur like glue or burned plastic stuck all over. It's cute in the picture but not suitable to buy as a gift for yourself never mind a friend or child...not even a dog.
