Is this plush safe for babies and toddlers?

It is listed with a minimum recommended age of 0 years, so it is sold for all ages. The eyes are embroidered and there are no hard plastic parts. As with any plush, check seams and remove the tag before giving it to a baby.

How big is the 8-inch Samanthe?

Squishmallows sizes are approximate, and an 8-inch plush is a small-to-medium one that fits in two hands. It sits nicely on a desk, shelf or car seat.

Is the shiny black fabric actually metallic?

It is a smooth black fabric with a sheen rather than a hard metallic coating. It reflects light, which is why it looks shiny in photos.

Squishmallows recommends surface washing with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air drying. Machine washing can clump the stuffing and damage the shiny fabric.

Is Samanthe a good pick for a collector?

Yes, if you want an uncommon animal. Scorpions appear far less often than cows, axolotls or frogs in the line, so it stands out on a shelf.

Does it come with anything else?

It is sold as a single plush with its sewn-on Squishmallows tag. No accessories or packaging are included.

Our take on the Squishmallows 8 Inch Samanthe the Black Shiny Scorpion Plush

Samanthe is an 8-inch Squishmallows plush shaped like a black scorpion with a shiny, slightly metallic-look shell. Like the rest of the line it is soft, lightly stuffed and squishy, with embroidered eyes and no hard parts. The scorpion design is one of the less common Squishmallows animals, so it stands out on a shelf of pastel axolotls and cows. It suits collectors of the darker or bug-themed characters and kids who like creepy-crawlies more than cute ones.
