Pros: Very light.
Filled with common stuffing material, in two sections, one for the mushroom-head and one for the eye-part. All parts are nicely sawn together.
Came in much brighter colors than the pictures show! Pleasantly suprised, green is much more colorful than the washed out one on the picture.
They look very good as decoration :)
Cons: Suction cup could have been left out for my use - although it works and holds them up (only tested briefly), they look better if placed on a shelf. But you can just cut it off and probably make it look good anyway. (I stuffed the cups behind mine so they aren't visible)
Other Thoughts: Rear part of the bottom of it is lower than the front, so it always leans back a bit. Makes for a nice "looking up" look out of the box.
Bottomline: Worth every penny of the cost! Always wanted something mario inspired in my room and these fit just perfectly!
Originally I bought these as a gift for a friend, or to split the set to give away one mushroom and keep the other, but considering they are so nice I kept this set (so far) and
will probably order a second set for my friend.
Extremely cute, and cheap, cheap cheap.

Pros: They really are cute - soft little mushrooms, filled with beads, and little black eyes.
Colours - red like in the game, and green - the one I received was a much brighter green than as shown in the picture more like "electric lime".
Stitching seems very good - These look like they could take quite a bit of rough treatment before splitting open.
These come with a rather long tag (like a pillow or clothes tag) sticking out the side of the face (peach-coloured) part. I was able to carefully remove this by snipping it off - Doesn't look like the stitching is going to come apart where the tag was, which can be an issue with these sort of stuffed toys.
Cons: The suctions caps are probably the worst of these - my green one keeps falling down, although the red one has stayed stuck to the filing cabinet beside my desk all weekend. This is the only issue I have with build quality and ease of use.
The fabric looks like it could stain easily, especially the white parts - but what can you do?
Other Thoughts: The tag says these are made of Polyester fibres, and plastic pellets.
They have quite a nice feel to them - the plastic pellets inside are soft, small and well-rounded - i'm thinking about snipping the string off of the top of my green one, and using it as a squeeze toy - looks like it could take the punishment.
Bottomline: If you have ever wanted a pair of "mini-beanbag" style stuffed 1-up mushroom toys, or that sounds even remotely enticing, buy these, or 3. The main proviso is that they might not stick to things with the provided suction cups as well as you would like.
Nice!

Pros: Shape and reassemblance to the original character is excellent.
COlors are really nice.
Very soft and doubles as a stress ball.
Looks really nice on a desk or so...
Color are standard (you go with luck with other toys here...)
Cons: Suction cup is not strong enough to use it on a car, it´ll eventually fall.
Not as resistent as other mushrooms you can buy here in DX (the plush ones, licensed by nintendo... smaller and more popular)
Other Thoughts: None
Bottomline: Really nice buy, excellent price, unfortunately this produc is not original or licensed but it´s still nice addition to my Super MArio landscape on the desk ... lol.
Bigger then expexted

Pros: These are nice and made well, the suction cups are useless but i just removed them anyways. this is not a nintedo licensed item.they are filled with beeds. I wouldnt give this to pets or little children as they smell like strong glue and would probly make a mess once they rip
Cons: suction cup isnt good enough
Other Thoughts: these make a nice decoration or addition to your collection, they dont seem ment to be played with.
Bottomline: If you like them get them, they are too big to be keychain accessories but sit nicely on a shelf
