The bananas are good to the touch and very plyable but are a little more stiff than expected. The consistancey is that of a mid range soft sponge ball so if you are expecting super soft you will have to adapt a bit if you are used to that consistancy. They look better at a distance than up close but if you don't mind the audience enjoying the fun of sponge rather than hyper realistic props you won't have any problems. The size is similar to Lady Finger bananas rather than Cavendish bananas. Over all I am very pleased with this prop.
