Now that GITD Barnaby is safe and in my hands I have a confession to finally make: I own a bootleg Barnaby plush

LET ME PREFACE!! in saying I will not disclose where I bought it, nor condone the purchase of any bootleg BBU plush. I didn't know it was a bootleg when I purchased it, and made sure to get an official one to properly support the game. If you want one, please get it official or custom/hand made so you can support the game instead of greedy no good people!

That said, this provides a unique opportunity to compare the differences in quality between both:

Keep in mind, from what I've seen online there's many Barnaby bootleg variations and this only represents the one I have. Obv the colours are different too since the official one is the GITD version

The differences:

HE'S WAY BIGGER?

is less firmly stuffed

official has higher quality fabric

knife is printed on thinner/lower quality felt

no velcro (the knife is glued to his foot)

has lost some definition in the feathers on the tail and especially the wings

legs are spread wider apart

head uses a different pattern, official is more square and bootleg is more round and tapered at the bottom

mouth and eyebrow stitching is light grey instead of purple

eye stitching is generally a lot looser (at one point it threaded out a little bit on the bottom right when I accidentally nicked it with my fingernail)

tongue stitching attaches the tongue to the cheek on the official, tongue hangs loose on the bootleg

vest is printed on instead of being a separate fabric piece (also notice how the bootleg has weird black triangles cut out of the purple? Looks like they didn't realize those were Barnaby's talons when referencing the product photo:)

bootleg feathers on the legs are pointy, while the official's are rounded

bootleg bowtie is two purple pieces glued loosely together, while official's has proper seams.

barnaboo is missing its arms

Now if you're looking at this and thinking that's not so bad then know that my bootleg actually came looking like this:

His left horn was mismatched and actually a third wing! I spent time reconstructing the wing into a horn using the existing material.

I later used the extra wing fabric to mod him with a fourth back digit, since it makes him more accurate to the official model

I made him work, but this is a sad state for a bootleg to come in. Safe to say you shouldn't have to fix your own plush upon arrival. And despite that this was probably a better one, considering this one is relatively well made compared to other variations I've seen online. Quality control is a gamble when it comes to these bootlegs.

With all that said, this guy did some heavy lifting bringing me comfort and love as I waited for the official one to come in. It's not his fault that he's a bootleg! So "Barby" will continue to be happily loved and cared for despite his shameful origins<33 let's hope these two can get along

Due to popular demand here's a tutorial for how I do my hyperfixation tracking/analysis charts! See my 2023 example here

Firstly, you gotta track the data. I found that creating new "tasks" in Google Calendar was a great way to do it. You can mark multiple at a time and even add comments to track more specific information. I'm only tracking hyperfixes present/day but you could theoretically tack a lot of things, like intensity or time of day. For example, this is what my April 2023 looks like:

When you've collected enough data you can throw it in a graphing program. I'm not smart with spreadsheet formulas so I use Chartle!

For the line graph (days of hyperfixation/month) I added up how many days the hyperfix was present for each month and stuck it in (ex. Pokemon had 14 for January, 26 for Feb...) The pie chart was adding up days total/hyperfix and throwing it into the program, it automatically ratios it to compare how prominent each hf was in ratio to one another. When you're done it displays like this!

I've been using this method to track my hyperfixations for over 2 years now and it's been pretty seamless, def recommend especially if you're a data gathering fiend like I am >: )
