Texas Toad by Michael Carr Designs - Outdoor Toad Figurine for gardens, patios and lawns (80072)

It caught a fly. ***amazingly realistic***. Actually, for me, maybe TOO realistic. When I ordered, I was planning to put it on the steps of my side door, but now that I have it, I just might keep this big ol' toady inside where it's safe. I wasn't thinking it through---living next to a large metropolitan park---and thought it would be so cute, perfect on the steps. The squirrels and chipmunks might give it a curious glance and sniff, then move on, but I forgot about the night visitors. Deer might want to step on it, possums and coonies might want to taste it, and skunks might want to spray it. No, I guess not. Instead, I think I'll have some indoor fun with Mr. Huge Toad. He'll provide a wonderfully startled reaction from visitors---if I have it sitting on my kitchen floor. Maybe on the counter. Next to some food, of course. Or *inside* some food would be better. Poking out of the end of a bag of loafed bread? Everyone knows that I love to cook, so maybe I'll have him on the stove, sitting inside a frying pan. Haha. I'd better slow way down. Once you SEE it, this is what YOU might be thinking, too. It's SO real-looking---warts and all---that anyone seeing it for the first time will expect it to jump or stick out its tongue. Have fun with this---in your home OR in your garden. And, it would definitely be a very original---and totally unexpected---gift for someone who loves nature and wildlife. They'd never guess what's inside that box with the pretty paper and big satin bow. "Happy Birthday!" I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Much nicer than expected. Realistic, good workmanship. True to advertised dimensions and weight. I sprayed with an outdoor clear coat to help protect against sun and weather.

I got this for my mom for mother's day and she loved it! However, even being as thoroughly packed as it was, a toe was broken at some point during transit. Other than that it was fine. The details were way better than I was expecting, it is a very beautiful toad, and pretty big too!

Wow, the picture didnt do this order justic. This little guy is extreamly lifelike, he is not quite green but more of a brown, either way I love him! Was going to out him outside but he is too nice for that. Will keep him as home decor and likely order more in the future! Highly recommend for frog lovers!

I was very surprised by the size and quality of this product. It looks real.

If you know a frog lover this is the one for them. Makes a great collectible gift or garden decoration. It’s a bit larger than a good size coffee mug, so not tiny. It’s sturdy and solid but not heavy and looks more lifelike than most froggy collectibles.

This toad is detailed, pretty and shiny. Our Halloween decor is Harry Potter themed so this is Neville’s toad. It looks realistic and somehow aesthetically pleasing.

This frog was purchased as a memorial marker for a beloved family pet. Not cheap looking!! It’s size and realism fit right in with my garden. I would definitely recommend it.
