What a dramatic and sexy design! Most of the purple spikes are stuffed so they retain their shape well. The chains are actually metal and have some weight to them. The PVC is high quality with a very soft lining, and the hood has a separate chiffon lining on the inside. The head of the flail is inflatable and attaches by a clasp to the handle. My only issue is that it was packed uncharacteristically sloppily, which caused quite a bit of creasing in the vinyl that I don't know whether I can get out. Still a really cool design and overall high quality, so I'm happy!
