I think that's rather more than I'm prepared to pay. I agree. My niece (whom I have vowed to give bizzarre stuffed animals to so she does not settle on the mundane "bear") has already decided that the nylon triceratops is her favorite stuffed animal (it having displaced her plush diplodycus). So I have little incentive to fork over a full $60. 8-(. >From the pictures, I was *darn* tempted, but since the finished guy is guaranteed to be different, I can't see it. They would probably sell like hotcakes at $30-$40/pop at the next Uniforum (they relaxed restriction on sales on the floor, right?). I'd buy 3 at that price. (call it $39.95 so I can convince myself I'm spending $10 less than I really am. 8-)).
