What is this made of? Hand-painted makes it sound ceramic but that doesn't sound like a toy for a 3-year old.

Its a hard plastic and yes it's hand painted for detail. That being said it's more a collectors item. There are point ends and thou the minimum age for this toy is 3, I wouldn't give it to a child

is the paint water proof

I contacted the manufacturer & the said that use in water is fine but it is not recommended to be constantly stored in water. So if your intent is bath tub play you will be fine. However if your intent is to submerge it as a fish tank decoration this will eventualy destroy the HYDRA and possibley poison your fish. I hope this helps.

It's about 4" to 4-1/2" tall and about 7-1/2" to 8" wide. My grandson loves playing with his.

Most definitely they look real. The details are truly amazing. I haven't seen anything in any store that comes close to these!

とてもいい品物だと思いますディテールや塗装、ポージングも悪くありません個人的には☆5つですただ、本来なら「毒蛇」のはずの「ヒュドラ」に足があるのが人によっては意見が分かれそうなので、☆は4つとさせていただきました以上、個人的な感想でした

My children love monsters and mythical creatures. So of course we needed to add some to our toy collection. I was hesitant to purchase because of the price tag but it was worth it. They are great quality and will stand up to Childrens play. The colors are nice and have great detail. I will definitely be buying from this brand for now on. It’s a great size too!
