The mane is no where near as long as the one pictured above. The mane extends no more than 2 inches from the head. I was most dissapointed, however, when I noticed all the little brown fibers break loose with little to no effort. A baby could tear a handfull off with ease! Not very safe for that matter. I know this is obviously not for everyday use but this coustume could be made with better quality and materials.
