The little stuffed bird came on time, was wrapped well n made noise as decribed but it did not have the crown on it like in the pic which was very disappointing to my grandson when I let him open it, but he did not want to wait for a return to be made. Angry Birds 5" Plush King Pig with Sound

We (Code and I) play Angry Birds with the Plush toys.



We setup various forts for the pigs and then launch the various birds at the forts until they have been knocked down and the pigs have been taught not to steal bird eggs.



:)

This is great for any fan of Angry Birds! I don't think the king pig looks quite as maniacal as the other pigs either in the game or as a plush, but he's essential if you want to have a real life Angry Birds game. It's fun to try and build similar designs to the game and to create your own. I highly recommend it. Even if you only get this plush it's fun to toss around.

This is one of the smaller pigs(about the size of a baseball) but it has quality plush and appliques - it looks suitably confused just like the king pig from the game! Of note, the nose on the pig does make him pitch forward when sitting. And the crown is soft so you don't have to worry about ruining it if the pig gets chucked (or chucked at!). It has nice details in the ears and nose and I like that the design is all sewn appliques rather than hard buttons or stickers.



To get the sound, you press the forehead (between the eyes and the crest) and it plays only one sound from the game (unlike the birds, which play 3 sounds).



All of the birds/pigs from the game have a larger base so they sit still without rolling over despite being ball shaped. The noise maker is suitably padded and you can throw this around quite a bit without worrying it will break the sound box.



We have all of the sizes of the birds and pigs and this size is nice and compact - a bit firmer than the larger ones.



In all, it's expensive for the size but it is a quality piece.

This toy failed within a couple days, and it was not just a defective unit. I have three differnt toys from the same line, and they all failed almost immediately.



So, I opened them up to take a look at the electronics. Just a really poor design. If you press the button too hard, you bend a contact spring. After that, it will never work again because the contact doesn't hit the right place on the circuit board. Easily fixed by bending it back, but without further modification it is just going to happen again. Guess this company has never heard of testing.'
