After reading the reviews for the plush toy, we decided to get our little one the talking version and WOW is it cute! Its a decent size and about 4 times larger than the plush toy (which she received as a present from a relative).
The voices are really good too, miles better than the poor voices overs for the in the night garden toys we also bought, so if you're little 'che-bie' wants to be playing 'Pika', this one is absolutely ace!!
