I really liked the concept of this item. However, from the picture provided, I was under the impression that it was a cute little dust ball that would hang from my partner's office window and subtly say "I like dust balls." When I received it, I was surprised to find that this "little" dust ball is actually quite large - roughly an 8" diameter, much bigger than the picture indicates. I wish the seller had given some indication of this, as I most likely would not have bought it otherwise.

Okay, let's be honest, there isn't really too much that you can do with this little guy. But, with that being said, I still think that it is a great little anime collectable. I have one myself and he is sticking to the wall, hanging from his string. He has been there for years and it still hasn't snapped. I think if you enjoyed the little dust sprites from My Neighbor Totoro and Spirted Away, you'll enjoy him.

Better and more adorable than I thought :)
It's great fun a cute decoration to hang from a window or mirror for an instant smile.
The soot sprite has been seen in a couple of Studio Ghibli films and is always a treasure to see :)
So enjoy this fuzzy little guy he well brighten up anybody's day :)

And so I have.

As much as I would like to leave my review just like that I figure you guys/gals would like a little more discriptive phrases other than BUY IT.

Suction cup is about the size of a 50¢ peice.
Soot ball is about the size of a baseball on the smallish side.
Soot ball is fluffy, well constructed, & squeezable.
By "well constructed" I mean the eyes aren't glued on or anything like that.
There is 2 strings like the picture so it hangs/ balances well.

It does have a tendency to "wind up" like a pitcher at the mound though, but this could be because I'm only rolling down 1 of my car windows.

BUY IT.

I love the soot sprite. My only issue is I have the hardest time making it stick! But my friend has one and she had very little problems with it sticking to the glass of her car. It's a very inexpensive gift for anyone who loved Spirited Away or My Neighbor Totoro!!!

I just wanted to say that I received this today, and it is much bigger than I expected. It is about the size of a cantaloupe and I was expecting more the size of a baseball. It is about 5 inches in diameter and has grey arms and legs. I am not sure if they sent the wrong one, but, while cute, this isn't what I was looking for. I won't be able to use it for my intended purpose, but I will find something to do with it.

So I don't actually use this as a toy but he sits in my office as a little desk companion. Adds some fun to my work space and I love answering the questions I get about him.

First of all the photo is not that accurate - the soot sprite has little felt arms and legs, and its all squished up in the packaging, so you might have to find ways to flatten the arms and legs. I wish they would've made it with more rigid material rather than strips of felt, though - maybe pipe cleaner or rubber or soft plastic? I am contemplating on cutting the arms and legs off since it looks like these brought down the cuteness factor slightly a notch.

Another thing is that the suction just sucks. And I mean "sucks" in a bad way. It didn't hold up on the freezing car windows, even if we tried moistening the suction cup first then sticking it. I had to eventually look for replacement suction cups for this.

The product is cute, with minor flaws in it, and I can't say much on its usability, since it's mainly for display (or perhaps a cat toy, if you're willing to throw it to the kitties despite the not-so-cheap price). I am OK with it, but I can't avoid having a little disappointment with the product.
