This pinata was a disappointment from the moment it arrived. For starters, it was packaged in a really skinny box, so the dragon's wings, tail and feet were folded up and basically broken in order to get it to fit in the box. Despite my hanging it for 2 weeks prior to the party, they never completely unfurled. Also, the dragon's arms and eyes were not placed the same way they are in the picture.

I got this pinata for my daughter's 6th birthday party. She is really into the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" and wanted a dragon-themed party. It arrived quickly and looked really good.

The only thing in danger would be a bag of cheetos. Still decent for my purpose - just don't get attached to the idea of a fire-breathing beast. Think more like Puff the Magic Dragon.
