Calf, Garnet

[Catlin]

Garnet is a great addition. She's soft and huggable, but doesn't quite stand upright without a little help. Her eyes look a little angry, but with some work I've gotten them to open up a bit more and give her a sweeter look. A-

I guess I wasn't expecting her(him?) to be at straight up stuffed animal. I was expecting more of a posie or sombrita type with solid legs. Don't get me wrong, he's a very nice stuffed animal, but I was expecting a little more. Also, I understand that AG wanted him to look next to Caroline like the equivalent of a calf next to a human, but it does make the other animals look kind of silly. Next to the sheep and the goat he looks like Paul Bunyon's cow come to life!

I just got Garnet today and I decided I don't like the name Garnet so I changed it to Darcy. She is soft unlike the cats and dogs and very cute! She looks either sleepy or drunk or maybe both because she has very droopy eyelids! She will be sleeping with me tonight though because of her softness! She has a long tag right on her butt and her rope looks like it could unravel easily. It takes a bit of work to get her to stand up. I give her an A just because of the rope and how hard it is to stand her up.
I hope it's ok to post these links but if you want to see pictures of her go to: www.flickr.com/photos/samloveag/

I got Garnet right when he came out, and he is so cute! He is unlike the other AG pets because he does not have a hard body like Coconut, Honey, etc. His legs are stiffer, but his body is soft and squishy. I love him to pieces!

A+++ from me.

My Caroline was thrilled when Garnet arrived. He is a beautiful red brown and so soft. His legs are wobbly and eyes sleepy, both befitting a new calf. He gets an A from me.

Sorry folks, but a cow that can't stand on her own four feet is going back. Soft and cuddly yes but not a good display piece. She gets a C from me

I received Garnet tonight. She's a little wobbly on her feet - but if you spread her legs a little she gets her bearing. I adore her and could not imagine parting with her now that she is here.

Garnet is such a nice calf, she's even the right size. I picked out my own at the store though & went through 9 of them before I found one with evenly place eyes & an expression I liked. Some of them had uneven length legs that made standing difficult. Mine stands well on her 4 feet. It helps to spread them a little but you have to position the dolls to get them to stand too. An A+ for Garnet but only because I was able to choose the one I wanted.

Garnet is a real sweetheart! She is soft and cuddly, but not so much that she can't stand up. I haven't had any trouble with her falling over, even when she was just standing on her own without Caroline standing next to her. I have absolutely no complaints. She is perfect! Grade: A+

My daughter picked up Garnet this weekend. I'd give it a B-.

Pros- our Garnet has a sweet expression, we love the plush body, and the rope

Cons- does NOT stand on own without ample help especially on carpet (moving the legs 'just so'). If this is 'display only' animal I would give it an A. But in my house all of our AG things get ample play time. My daughter has to basically prop the calf next to something. I expected a soft-ish exterior with a harder center (or wire legs) more like Sobrita. I am disapointed in the functionality of the piece.
