Wild Thing! By Jessica Yamaguchi on Aug 16, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

We had been shopping a week or so before Valentines Day and I love stuffed animals…so I paused and was “petting” one of these large oversized stuffed gorillas …

Well, it showed up at my house on Valentines Day! My husband had gotten it for me.

It's about 2 and half feet tall. It is black with red “highlights” and it is holding a rose in its mouth and a heart shaped pillow with the message “WILD THING” stitched on it. The pillow is a velvety material, red with gold lettering.

He also has a big red nose. It has a big bulky, cuddly body and a goofy loveable face!

The materials used to make this guy are Polyester fiber and polyurethane foam. All new materials were used in making him.

I love it! It's SO soft/ furry and cute! My husband had also tucked a couple of presents behind the pillow that the Gorilla is holding…a jewelry box with a 3 piece emerald set in it and …yes …since it was Valentines Day ….lingerie.

So this “Wild Thing” sits on the floor in the corner of my bedroom and my 9 month old has found him over the last couple of months…He stands up on him, rolls on him, and loves to rub on the soft fur.

It's great for all ages especially if they like stuffed animals…my 16 year old has been trying to “steal” this gorilla from me for a month!

My husband found this at Wal-Mart; I think this guy is only available around Valentines Day. It is regularly priced at $29.95 but goes on sale (usually for around $10.00) some time during the last week or so before Valentines Day.
