Sixteen reviews of an elephant, and not a one says anything about size. Amazon’s descriptionssays its “18″ H. I’m sorry, but measuring his height while he’s seated (as his designers obviously intended, yields a compact 7″. By pulling, and even slightly stretching him from the tip of his trunk to his rear feet, another 5 inches can be coaxed from him. So consider him 7″ or, if you prefer, 12″ (providing you steamroller him into a flattened, distorted shape), but if you’re looking for something closer to the the size of the true king of the beasts, look elsewhere and be prepared to spend more.
It’s puzzling that several reviewers claim he looks nothing like his picture (or that he’s a slightly faded color, etc.). My Ty Winks Elephant, as delivered on Good Friday, is absolutely identical with his picture. Those who register great disappointment on this account either received the wrong order from Amazon or purchased from a less responsible seller. In any case, if you buy Winks from Amazon and find him different from the pictured one, Amazon will be happy to refund your costs, including postage from and to.
The same might apply in my case because of Amazon’s false size specification (probably a typo). But as currently priced, I think he’s fairly valued. And he’s twice the size of the Ty miniatures going for five bucks. Moreover, the manufacturer can usually be counted on to make good, durable products, and Winks appears to be no exception. The eyes are small, black, securely anchored droplets. If I have any disappointment, it’s that while writing this review I’ve been watching those opaque little eyes carefully, and neither one has winked. Still, I much prefer this to the animal I initially selected, then promptly removed from my cart upon discovering that it comes with a “bonus” in the form of a “virtual” twin on the internet, available to the lucky tot who remembers the password. That’s one expendable word as well as one place my grandkids (or this kid) don’t need to know more about. The thought that the website expenses were reflected, at least in part, in the product’s cost was in itself sufficient to make Winks a highly preferable alternative.

Customer Reviews
THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS!
We left the original "Nelly" 4000 miles away at Grandma's house and I couldn't bear letting my daughter live without him. The replacement process went seamlessly and she is once again a happy child. She sleeps with it, eats with it, talks to it, it talks to other animals, even sits next to her during potty training time. I owe Amazon a big THANK YOU for having this in stock. The elephant has been through the wash plenty of times without a hitch and comes out even softer and smelling fresh. From baby to toddler he has been our very favorite.

Doesn't Look like Picture
I was disappointed when I received this because it doesn't look like the picture. It's thinner than I thought (thought it would be fluffier) and a much darker color than the photo.
One major problem
I bought one for my girlfriend almost 2 years ago and she loved it so much I wanted to get her replacements for when it finally wore down. The big problem is the cute elephant that you see in the picture is NOT, I repeat NOT the elephant you receive. It looks completely different and that was a major dissapointment. Instead of keeping them for ourselves, now they are being gifted away. I guess you just can't get the same ones anymore.
Generally good
Bought it for my wife,hehe~ The stuff inside is less than enough. The trunk of the elephant is not exactly in the middle. Other than those it's fine.
