Didn't know how I felt about the way she was translated from the drawing to a plushie at first, but once I saw her in person at a Squishable store, I was amazed! I picked her up on my next visit, (couldn't afford her the first time, lol). I bought the one that had the droopiest leaves because I thought she looks cuter that way. I love my palm tree! She is less squishy than most Squishables because she's thicker on the inside, but it helps her stand up easily, so it works for me!
