(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.
