Adventure Time - Marceline Plush Doll

I bought this Marcelinedoll for my 4 year old daughter. Adventure Time is one of those shows both I and the kids can enjoy almost equally (I think I like it just a little bit more than they do). Marceline the ancient teenage bass-playing vampire queen is my daughter's favourite character. Sophie considers her a princess, since her dad is lord of the infernal Nightosphere, and that's good enough for her.

Here's a pic next to a NES Zelda cart and a Rubik's Cube, for scale:
I'm pretty pleased with the quality. The look is very true to the animation style and has nice detail. Note the sewn in bite marks on her neck, although they are on the wrong side!
The doll has an excellent head of hair reaching down to her boots. The arms are kinda gangly and the legs are somewhat akimbo, but again this is in keeping with the cartoon style. The shirt is a separate piece and can be taken off / put back on.

My conclusion: Ever so slightly on the pricey side for its size, but thoroughly satisfied with the quality and accuracy of the look. My daughter concurred by screaming excitedly when she received it :-)
