• First Impression: I love this new toy Mom and Dad bought me at Best Pet! It is as tall as I am, soft(ish), and seems very durable. It also has some little squeakers built into the spines. I just got the toy about an hour ago, so I’ll post more after I’ve had some time to play with it.
• Follow up: Well I’ve had a little over a day to thoroughly play with TuffZilla and I must say it is built very well. I’ve started to split the seams on the nose and feet slightly, but Dad keeps burning the threads back to make sure I don’t have an unfair advantage. Dad plans on performing surgery with heavy thread or fishing line as necessary to prolong the life of my new friend Tuffzilla. I think there should be some more squeakers though; they are pretty hard to find most the time. Also, when I start swinging Tuffzilla around and hit people with it, they seem to think it hurts. Tuffzilla is very dense and the seams are very rigid.
• Follow up #2: I tore the stitching out of the groin and pulled a few good mouthfuls of cotton stuffing out. Dad took my toy away and stitched it back up with some fishing line. The groin seems to be holding. I then shredded 3 teeth, and a few of Tuffzilla’s claws. Dad had to cut the back with scissors so I wouldn’t eat them. String constantly gets unraveled so Dad keeps burning it back. Since the toy is so expensive dad keeps trying to make it last. I think with a few more play sessions I can ruin it good enough that he will give up. Wish me luck!
• Conclusion: The product has a high price tag but is built well and I love having a toy thats more “my size.” If you can talk your parents into a TuffZilla I’d recommend it!
