Being that from the beggining I intended to give this item as a gift for a child, I found it quite adequate... at the gold box price. I agree with the other reviewers that it was a bit overpriced before, but at the reduced price I found it quite nice and fairly priced. About the size, I agree it is quite small, but also there is a scaled image so it came as no surprise, at least to me. It looks great on my kid niece though!
