This plush koala has gray fur and long white fur in its ears. Kira hopes that Bean, the joey she cares for in the animal sanctuary, will become a healthy adult koala like this one.
SKU#: GVF50 $26
I don’t have Kira’s Koala, but I’ve looked at it in the stores and thought I’d get a basic review up while it’s still available.
This koala doesn’t have a name and it’s not a specific character in the books, although koalas do play important roles. It’s a very cute stuffed animal, with a white belly, fuzzy white ears, and gray plush body, covered with fur everywhere except the gray fabric feet. It has black plastic safety eyes and a soft black nose. The body isn’t posable; it’s permanently seated with its head turned to one side. I think it’s a very cute, quality stuffed animal with a nice expression. As an adult collector, it’s not something that I want to make the room for, but I think kids would feel differently. At full price, it would be nice if there were some additional playability, like a moving head or maybe some eucalyptus or bamboo stalks; as is, it seems to me like the $18-20 range would be a more appropriate value for the money.
Here are some in-store photos from different angles, showing the height of the koala (which comes up to Kira’s thigh) and the size relative to the kangaroo, as well as a close up of the koala.
