hrrrhgfhfd bad news about the clownlets.....

the puppy heads are made of a much cheaper plastic than the 90s version or the bigger faces, which means 1) they don't clean very well and the darker colors leave really nasty stains behind, and 2) they're too hard and inflexible to sew the bodies onto (the original bodies were just ziptied around the neck, which is why they look so goofy compared to the older ones).

So I think maybe...... if I want clownlets, I'll have to accelerate my plans on learning how to make molds and poured vinyl heads, and make that part of this project instead of some nebulous future one 🤔

#either that or I just focus on the bigger dogs and add puppies to the set down the road #which if we're being honest might be the route I go just because......... money. :(#it's kind of wild to realize how much the quality drops between the 90s pet surprise and the 2010s pet surprise...#you can see it a bit in the mothers. like the long fur is really haphazardly stitched and the collars are just an unhemmed strip of fabric #sewn directly onto the body. instead of an actual removable accessory. and the bows are just a pinched bit of ribbon instead of. a bow gfds #but the BABIES.....#the heads are worse material! the sculpts are lumpy! the fabric is thin and cheap and not even SEWN ON!#they don't even have BEANS anymore!!!!#I can't believe I'm being forced to reverse engineer better puppies from scratch. society can never recover from this #pet surprise
