This highland cow plush is built the way the animal actually looks: a shaggy double coat in two tones, a fringe that falls over the eyes, and upswept horns in a leather-look finish. Most highland cow stuffed animals round the shape into a cartoon. This one keeps the low, heavy stance of the real breed, so it reads as a specimen on a shelf rather than a toy in a bin.
Questions
- How big is the highland cow plush?
- It measures roughly 28 cm from nose to tail and sits low, in the resting stance the real breed takes. It is sized to hold in two hands or to sit on a shelf, not to be a large floor plush.
- What are the horns made of?
- The horns and hooves use a leather-look material stitched over a soft core. They hold their upswept shape but stay soft enough that the piece is safe to handle and to knock over.
- Is this a toy for children or a display piece?
- It is built for adult collectors and display. The fur is long and the eyes are hand-set, so it is not intended for rough play or for children under three.
