Pokemon Electric Charge Pikachu, Yellow

Purchased as a gift so I decided to try it to be sure it worked. Nope. It comes in the "try" mode and the batteries were dead. After trying all the things the instructions said, before returning it, I decided to replace the batteries (4 AA + small phillips screwdriver) and it worked. From the feet to the tips of ears, it is about 13 inches, the body height is about 10 inches. This plush toy has sound and action - says Pikachu, moves arms and sometimes lights up - cute features.
