Handcrafted 12 Inch Lifelike Opossum Stuffed Animal by Hansa

When an opossum is confronted with danger it will immediately enter a catatonic state, looking for all the world like it has crossed the rainbow bridge, but thanks to the skill of the artisans at Hansa, this plush Opossum looks very much alive and ready for action. At around 12 inches, the Handcrafted 12 Inch Lifelike Opossum Stuffed Animal by Hansa has been created using a portrait taken in the animal’s natural habitat and is fitted with an internal support so he can stand strong without falling over. With a gorgeously fluffy salt and pepper coat, this stuffed Opossum has been sewn inside out – by hand – to keep seams to a minimum, resulting in a smooth finish that adds to the realism. Made from dozens of hand cut pieces, the Handcrafted 12 Inch Lifelike Opossum Stuffed Animal by Hansa’s stuffing is a soft fiber fill, which has been cleverly sculpted to achieve a genuine opossum shape. From his pointed nose to his long tail and those long finger-like toes, the Handcrafted 12 Inch Lifelike Opossum Stuffed Animal by Hansa is a faithful reproduction of the real thing, and thanks to the airbrushing to his face and body (as well as the informational hang tag that comes with him), this Opossum stuffed animal will help you to learn all about this remarkable little rodent.

Hansa stuffed animals are as lifelike as stuffed animals can be because each animal is carefully designed using significant research and actual portraits of the animal in its natural habitat. Hansa’s goal in being so exact in the creation of their stuffed animals is to educate children and adults about the animals’ lives and to help increase the understanding and appreciation of these amazing creatures and of our co-existence with them. Each stuffed animal is hand sewn using an old world ‘inside-out’ method to minimize the visibility of the seams. Each stuffed animal’s face is hand-finished and airbrushed to give it a truly unique appearance and the body is also carefully sculpted to create realistic features. These true-to-life stuffed animals look great in dens, offices, and display cases and also make excellent playmates. Every piece comes with an educational tag describing, in detail, the animal’s habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of young and eating habits. All Hansa stuffed animals meet or exceed all U.S. and European safety standards and are recommended for ages three and up. We suggest gentle surface washing for Hansa stuffed animals.
