Shipping on this purse took a long time. I didn't receive it until well after Halloween, even though I ordered about a week ahead. I received the purse and the handle was coming off of it already.

It looks enough like a brain that people will "get" what it is, but it isn't terribly realistic. It's basically just a rubber shell with no lining inside, so keep in mind anything you put in it isn't going to be protected or cushioned very well. it also didn't hold its 3D shape too well after being packed and shipped in the box. I had to stuff it with some paper towels for a few days to stretch it back into shape.

It WAS a fun prop and conversation starter. Everyone I showed it to got a kick out of it at a costume party I went to later. I recommend it to people who want a fun purse to go with a zombie-type costume, but the fact that it arrived damaged did color my opinion a little bit.
