"This was awesome, i could hold my stuff in it and not worry about a purse, it worked out great. the only thing was it was hard to really see the dog, it kinda looked just like a bunch of fur and some of the hair shedded a little, but it was better quality than i would have expected from any other halloween store!"

"The basket is actually a small purse and is perfectly sized for my child to carry. I would recommend if your child is aged 2-5. The other versions seem for bigger children."

Title: The Toto to pick with your Dorothy costume! Date: October 26, 2008
"This Toto is so cute. It looked better than I thought it was going to when it arrived. The best part is that you can put stuff inside so this can also act as your handbag for the night! Its perfect. This basked is definitely better made than the other Toto baskets they have on this site. If you are going to get one, you need to get this one."

"This is terrible. I thought this looked better than the official Wizard of Oz Toto in a basket, but boy, was I wrong! This is the cheapest, crummiest looking thing I have ever seen. The basket is break apart quality, the dog is fake and doesn't come out. You zip the dogs back open for a tiny little space. I have to stuff the space to make the head stand up so it doesn't look like a fake fur blob on a basket. Just horrible quality."

Title: Every Dorothy Needs a Toto! Date: October 23, 2008
"Very cute product! Toto does sit a little low in the basket, but if you use it as a purse that should pep him up a little. Great idea for carrying all your necessities for the night!"

Title: Very Cute! Date: October 15, 2008
"This is a very cute accessory. The only thing I did not like is that the face is a little hard to see--it's not stuffed really full, so it kind of looked like a hair ball smushed in when it arrived. I had to spend a little time flluffing it and digging for the eyes and nose to make them appear, but you can certainly tell what it is supposed to be--it's really cute and there's plenty of room inside. For the price, it's a good deal."

"I ordered the small child dorothy costume to go with this adorable toto in a basket. My daughter is 2 1/2 and she absolutely adores it. She looks adorable in the entire costume. Price was reasonable. The quality of both products is great. She said she can't wait to put some candy in toto, since it is a pocket book, also."

Title: Loved mine! Date: November 4, 2007
"Loved it, as it can also be used as an actual purse. I wouldn't say the bottom of it could carry A LOT of weight, but in mine we carried my lipstick, silver spray (for my Tin Man) & silver glitter spray for me, oh & a camera & it worked great. The zipper was a bit tough to work sometimes, so we ended up keeping it open as you really couldn't see if it was open or not."

Title: Absolutely Fantastic Date: October 22, 2007
"I debated whether to give it a five or four star rating, but it is so perfect that I had to go with the five star. I personally would have liked it to be a little bigger, but that is a personal preference. It would help to have the dimensions on the website, but no way am I returning it. Even when I called customer service, the helpful women did not have any additional information. She did agree with me that it was the cutest Toto in basket, so I ordered it. It does state that it is a handbag, but it would be helpful to add that Toto has a zipper on his back, which is cleaverly disguised, and that's how you use it as a handbag. This is the first time that I ever had a prop-handbag, so perhaps it was my ignorance, but I think the zipper and dimensions should be clearly stated. Toto is precious. I won't send it back even if I found a larger one. I'm not even looking. The idea of handbag-prop is great and I'm going to go back and check out if there are any more on this site. I might even use my "Toto in the Basket" with the "Rubber Red Slippers" and a plain black outfit just for fun."
