Plush is in excellent shape. He does have a small paint chip on one plastic eye. He is essentially the same as the final release, except he is much higher quality. He also has an extra paper tag with details about Toy Network and the plush itself. He feels heavier and much more stuffed than the final release. In addition, comparing him to the final (last 2 photos, not included), his cheek and chest tufts are much more defined. The gray details in his ears are much lighter in tone. His paper tag is clearer-- the image is not fuzzy like it is on the final release. Please see photos for best detail.
