Perfect for distressing & alleviating tension

So as a fun stocking stuffer gift for my partner, I thought I'd get this stress toy, and opted for what I thought was an expensive version - at £9.99 - so it was a quality purchase and not just something discarded after Christmas. Christmas Day, the hedgehog is unveiled, and squeezed a few times. The painted part began peeling off immediately. By Boxing Day, the poor thing looked like it had vitiligo or melasma, or some other sort of terrible skin condition, with most of the paint peeled off. By the 29th, my poor unsuspecting partner picked up the forlorn hedgehog, squeezed it and POP, it spaffed white gloop all over the carpet, walls and everywhere. It burst, leaving a sizeable area of the lounge looking like the clean-up after a certain kind of movie. The phrase 'painter's radio' springs to mind. We're still cleaning up, but I'm proud that it wasn't me that's responsible for staining the carpet, for once. Anyway, I've returned it today, and please, if you want to squeeze something squidgy, don't opt for this terrible product. There are far more fun things to squeeze, after all. You'd be better off with marshmallows in a freezer bag. DEFINITELY not suitable for kids or pets.

Makes a cute little gift, I gave my daughter one for her birthday and she was happy with it. Cute design, seems sturdy and good for kids to play with for stress relief/sensory stimulation!

Great price, fun stress toy.

Brought this as was going through something stressful and all the pink belly/eyes etc is just peeling off. Otherwise it's good to squeeze

Brilliant if your stressed and need a little friend. You can squeeze him all day and his head won't pop off! No leakage and brilliant value for money. The colour is truly to the picture and he is very durable. I love this little champ

I bought a couple of different characters for my kids. They looked brilliant and their names were funny. However after an hour of playing randomly with them, they started peeling! The hedgehogs face completely peeled off.My son was quite upset and I felt very disappointed with the quality.

Very cute. However colouring/paint is coming off after only a couple of days use. The hedgehog colours (can't thing of a better word/phrase right now) are only a coating that don't stretch as far as the insides. As such they fracture and little bits peel off.
