The candy inside was removed. This is an auction for the backpack only. It's fluffy and soft to the touch, and very cute, but it was too small for my child. I think it's the perfect size for a 2- or 3-year-old. It's new and unused, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about home storage. I plan to take measures to prevent water damage and compress it slightly before sending it. Thank you. Title...My Melody
