Doctor Who Weeping Angel Stress Toy

The product itself, although a "squeeze stress toy" felt like it wasn't properly filled with squeeze stuff (about half empty). Very flimsy, the hands did not reach the face. When squeezed the arms do not separate as advertised. The base of the figure was distorted and it wouldn't stand up. In short, it is a very-poorly-manufactured item.BUT THERE IS HOPE! Feeling around I realized the squeeze stuff, whatever it was, wasn't gel. So I cut the bottom out of the figure with scissors (see photo) and discovered the innards are some kind of white, water-soluble putty. I removed this putty and without the distorted bottom, the figure stood on its own quite well. If one wanted it could be filled with sand to add some weight, the bottom glued to a form-cut piece of wood, plastic or cardboard, and you'd have a decent display figure. But it's fine hollow; it stands on its own and holds its shape without filling.What about the arms? The entire figure is made of very flexible vinyl. I really like the floppy wings. So I took a stiff piece of thin wire and ran it carefully through the head into the body. I then bent the head downward so that the face was hidden by the hands. The effect was perfect... a Weeping Angel with a bowed head and face hidden. To open the arms, forget the squeeze action... just pull the arms apart at the elbows. No one is going to care when they see that horrid hidden face.So you can rescue it from its poorly-manufactured state and turn it into what it should have been to start with-- a detailed display model with arms that can pull away from the grimacing face. I'm now rather pleased with the figure. I'd give it 4 stars if I hadn't had to do all that work. (But really, it's simple and took about 10 minutes total.) It's fairly easy to mod if yours doesn't work out of the box. From what I've read and the ratings stats (at this time) you have about a 30% chance of getting a "good" one. Fortunately it can be modified.

It's quite jiggly and the "squeeze and it rawrs at ya" ... doesn't ... at least not very easily. I finally found a spot just under the armpits that will bend the hands slightly from the face, but that's as good as it gets. It's not a squeeze-anywhere like a stress-ball-critter. The inside is quite firm and the outside is an extremely grippy/sticky kind of rubber. I expect it'll be unidentifiably covered in pet fur in a week. So as a stress squeezy thing - 1 star; as a stand alone piece - 5 stars, it does LOOK great.

First off, I really like this! It looks great! It's fun and nerdy and it stands up on it's own which is awesome! I got it as a gift for my friend (a fellow Whoovian) and he loves it! It's on his desk every day and he hasn't dared to blink in over a week (haha).That being said, it's not really a stress toy. It doesn't squish when you squeeze it. It's a semi-soft plastic that fits in your hand well, it's just not squishy (which is what I think of when a think of a stress toy/ball; something that lets you squeeze it). According to the pictures the arms are supposed to pull back when you squeeze it but it's so rigid that nothing happens.I still really love it and it's really fantastic, I just want to let you know that if you're looking for a squishy stress ball type toy this isn't really it.NOTE: Maybe it's considered a stress toy because you'll be so scared to blink that it stresses you out? Haha!

The "stress toy" interior parts of this weeping angel seem to have been manufactured poorly, as other reviewers have stated. On the item I received, the base was bulged downward, and as such, the angel didnt stand flat. After some careful surgery, I removed the hard material that was inside the angel, and filled her with paper towels. Hence: Stress toy fixed after a little stress on me, therefore, minus one star.Cosmetically, the weeping angel is beautiful and extremely detailed for a rubber figure. The arms can pull away, as shown in the pic, but you need to squeeze her just beneath her shoulders with two fingers. I got a warehouse deal, so I dont know if other angels come packaged in plastic inside the box. Mine came in a demolished box, open to the elements, and it was filthy dirty, so I did need to clean it with soap and warm water. Overall, although my angel came with issues, I'm glad I was able to save her from the rubbish bin, and she displays nicely now.

So my roommate and I are big Whovians and I bought this for the sole purpose of scaring the pants off her. Works like a charm. Hiding it around the house always gets a good shock and it's small enough to fit inside our medicine cabinet, behind the sugar container for her morning coffee, in a sock drawer, in the fridge behind the half and half... And anywhere else you guys might think up and leave in the reply section so I can scare her some more... 🤔All this being said, it's great for my purposes, but if you're buying this thinking you'll have a little stress ball for your desk, you'd be sorely disappointed. There's a hard plastic center that runs the full length of her skirt and probably up to her ribs, so the only flexible part of the toy is around her chest, wings, head and arms. So be aware of that before you think you can squish it at a whim.

It is not at all as described. It doesn't squish arms open to show scarry face...it doesn't even cover the eyes when in resting position. It's similar but misses the mark entirely in my opinion

This is a strange stress toy. It is bulging on the bottom to the point where it will not stand up. Flops right over. Then, the inside of her skirt and body is some hard thing, feels like it might be broken at the waist????. Squeezing this part does nothing. You have to squeeze right at her shoulders to make her hands leave her face. The LOOK of this is great. The detail is perfect, and her face is terrifying. I'm going to have to cut the bulge off the bottom, as other reviewers have done, to make it stand up. I WISH I could give it more stars, but I just can't.
