A $140 fake white poodle that doens’t do anything for my kids room is not what I would call cheap or a great deal. Also given that vinyl often contains pthalates (to make it soft like fabric), lead and cadmium it is not the kind of ‘good’ thing I would want next to my kid or anyone elses as they slept in their bed.
Great deal on that alarm clock though!
