Little Big Planet 2 Sackboy 6" Plush Doll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've seen all shapes, sizes, materials, both official and custom made, but this is it! 6 inches tall, correct proportions, eye placement, head shape, and best of all, it looks hand-made! It has reliable machine-stitching, but also has yarn stitching for the hand-made aesthetic. It looks just like the game character. I've seen a couple of costumed versions, as well as this naked one, available at GameStop.
This is the one they should continue to make! I hope these fly off the shelves, so to speak, so they know that this is the one we want them to make. They need to come out with more skin colors, fabrics, clothing, and accessories for us, so we can personalize our Sackboys and Sackgirls!. (I keep saying "they", but I don't know who "they" are! The tag says "PS Officially Licensed Product", so I'd assume Sony?)
Only changes I'd suggest are as follows:
1. The zipper is made of dull plastic and doesn't actually "zip" up and down. I realize this isn't exactly necessary, but it would be nice if it was shiny plastic (or metal) and perhaps a real zipper. It doesn't need to unzip to reveal stuffing (that could get messy,) it's just that a working zipper would be very satisfying.
2. The arms and legs should swivel. It can't be very difficult to have the arms swivel at the shoulder, and the legs swivel at the hips, can it? Lots of plush toys do that (I don't know exactly how the mechanics work.) This would allow us to put them in a sitting position, or have them lift their arms up in celebration!
Overall, great product. Go for it!

LittleBigPlanet Sackgirl/Sackboy 6" Plush - 2 Pack Bundle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a Sackboy for a year now, and I ordered this set *sight unseen* when it was first listed on Amazon without a photo of what I would be buying. Description says 6" but I think they are bigger. I didn't pull out a ruler, though.
I love love love Sackboy. His knit body perfectly matches the game. The zipper is non-functional, but looks good and is to scale. Sackgirl is slightly more disappointing, although still accurate. She's made of cloth, much like the options available from your pop-it, but there is something about the knit that makes Sackboy a better match, it my eyes. Her hair is cloth and the kerchief is removable.
I am planning to buy more from this manufacturer, I just hope they start selling individual dolls instead of selling them in sets.

Senario Little Big Planet Brown Sackboy With 4 T-Shirts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A lot of people, myself included, were disappointed with the first stuffed Sackboy came out not too long ago. Quality control was horrible: there were tons of Sackboys out there with one arm or leg longer than the other, heads were lopsided, Sackboy was pretty small, and it didn't come with any accessories...when one of the main features in LittleBigPlanet was customizing Sackboy however you want. Sure, there a few other variations, like ones in girl clothes, a skeleton one, Taiko drummer and the suave afro version, but you couldn't change outfits with one another, and the accessories like the sunglasses were really cheaply made. Now this newer, bigger Sackboy plush is out, and comes with several shirts you can put on it. Unfortunately, things aren't much better this round aside from the size.
Standing at 10 inches tall, Sackboy looks a little better than he did in his smaller form. He's a bit darker than how he appears in the stock picture here, and you can move his arms and legs around. Once again, the zipper doesn't work, and it's plastic instead of metal. The shirts that he comes with are all black with grey trim, and with a big graphic on them. One says 'YEAH!' in red letters, one is a luchador (Mexican wrestler) mask, another is a red fist, and the last is the LBP tree logo in a pink spray painted circle. These easily go on Sackboy, but don't feel like they'll last very long.
That about does it for the good things I can say about Sackboy. All the problems I had with the original return here. The color being too dark is a minor one, but the big problem is how cheaply made he is, and the lack of any quality control efforts. Every Sackboy I've seen in stores have either had one arm a good inch or two longer than the other, a lopsided head from being overstuffed on one side, one eye being much higher up than the other, etc. The material they used to make him is also prone to coming undone, and don't be surprised if your Sackboy has a couple of loose strands after a few weeks of regular use. Expect a lot of fuzz balls on him too. This is exactly the same as the smaller Sackboy, just bigger. I also don't get why all 4 shirts he comes with are all the same color.
Even with all these problems, fans of Sackboy probably won't care, since he's a popular character that people want merchandise of. Just realize that, depending on the retailer, you're going to be spending 3-4 times as much as the smaller version for a bigger one with 4 shirts, but the same lack of quality. If you manage to find one that doesn't have abnormal limbs or an overstuffed head, then you've lucked out, and can add a star to my rating. I still think the only good stuffed Sackboy, aside from the numerous ingenious custom ones I've seen around (especially the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and lion ones), is the promotional Sackboy given out by Media Molecule before the first LBP came out.
