I honestly think people that get on here sometimes expect to much from a product, these are great little Caillou figurines that bend at lets move arms up & down & thats really about it. They are about 2 inches tall not big, but my little ones don't seem to mind. My oldest 2 brings me the characters & points them out when Caillou is on, they make great bath time or back seat toys too. The backpack is a clear vinly backpack which I really like I can send my son to babysitters & not have to open to make sure I didn't forget anything. I have actually used it at grocery store for my wallet, keys, & of course some toys for kids to play with in basket, love it.  Great for any Caillou fan, cheaper than alot of other related products out there & you get all the friends.
