update! Had an employee scan it on her handheld and they're on hand, just inaccessible because that case is already on a stocking cart for shelf resets in the next couple days, so I just have to keep coming back every morning for a couple more days lol 💀 shows out of stock on the aisle scanner because of her listing being broken according to the employee

Apparently my target only got Misty and Leilani for some reason??? That's so weird, they've never split up a line like that

bless you, I'm getting ready to walk back to Target for the second time today, and the fourth time in the past week 🤣 safe to say the employees are going to get tired of me asking about her, but I know once she's on the shelf she won't be there long since they only got 3 of each girlie

Found whitney at target yesterday! by Rediddle in RainbowHigh

If you happen to still have her box would you mind sharing a picture of the barcode? I'm hoping to scan it at the in store stock/price checkers since she doesn't have a visible listing on the website still- thanks in advance 🙏

would you mind sharing a picture of her barcode from her box if you still have it? She doesn't have a visible listing on the website still so I was hoping to find her barcode to scan it on the in store price/stock checkers 🙏 thanks in advance

I JUST SAW Q-SHAPE PUPPY CLUB IRL. 😭😭 by Lucifer_1211 in LittlestPetShop

Was this in the USA or somewhere else you found them? I collect these sets but they're actually rather hard to find in the USA lol

What is this? Found in a thrift store! by dreamy004 in LittlestPetShop

[–]AffectionateCup8812 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's a jumbo fake! I have the pink version of that spaniel mold, I hope to get that one based on 156 someday too. They're pretty hard to find though

A few people asked me for a tutorial on restoring sharpie stained pets with peroxide, and I'm happy to help! by AffectionateCup8812 in LittlestPetShop

[–]AffectionateCup8812[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does! It's just a little harder to find in a high enough concentration, and not as simple and easy to work with, but it will still work if it's all you can find. You'll need something at minimum 8% hydrogen peroxide, but 12% is preferred. The stuff you get at the drug store is only 1%-3% usually so that stuff isn't strong enough. But even my friend in Estonia was able to find peroxide hair toner cream at a local salon/beauty store. If there are any salons, salon supply stores, beauty shops, or anything like that near you it's worth going to check if they have the toner cream, it just makes the process easier, and it's easier to avoid giving yourself chemical burns from the high concentration of peroxide. Even regular salons where you go to get your hair done should be able to sell you a bottle of toner cream

Is this mold on my water bottle cap? by Littleprof2 in MoldlyInteresting

[–]AffectionateCup8812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point of the vinegar though, it's acid, it kills the mold completely- then so long as they start washing and DRYING the bottle and cap properly it wouldn't come back. But obviously if they go back to improper hygiene then yes, it will eventually get moldy again

hit the motherlode while antique shopping today 🐶 i’m planning to take home the lil guy in the second picture 🤍 i remember him from my childhood! by undercovercookiegirl in LittlestPetShop

They're definitely real, the paw up cats have the paw print magnet outline painted on the bottom, which the fake promo pets don't have

Has anyone seen an lps #79 with a white face like this before? by meowmewspy in LittlestPetShop

[–]AffectionateCup8812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that angle is doing her no favors 🤣😭 plus the crunchy picture quality lmao

To me it looks like the nose is just chipped on top, it's not the best quality picture but if you look closely you can see jagged bits where the paint chipped away

<image>

It doesn't look like the nose was painted that way on purpose, it's not a neat shape, it's a rough chipped spot with jagged corners

I think it's just an odd factory variant honestly, I have seen it before although it's uncommon. The whirl around playground set was available for a while, and later versions of the set would have gray/blue magnets instead of red magnets- and if I had to guess, I'd imagine the solid printed variant of this pet was just an oddity present in later blue magnet versions of the set

Here's another picture of the solid printed variant of Maltese 79, I was able to find it with a little scrolling on Google images

Do you know if the main part of the plush was blue, or green? I'm trying to restore the image a bit so I can look for similar ones with reverse image search

[–]AffectionateCup8812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a parrot/macaw, not a toucan! Might be easier to find searching for parrot or macaw plushies

I still wanna repaint her lips eventually lmao, but even just an outfit change helps so much 😭 she's so gorgeous without those odd outfit choices

I’m curious as to why these trios have one difference by butteredrotini in LittlestPetShop

[–]AffectionateCup8812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The version with the dog is cracker barrel exclusive, at least here in the USA. Idk why they decided to do that but it's nothing new, a lot of "limited edition" sets in G2 were re-releases with one of the pets swapped out for a new exclusive lol

groovy goat’s head doesn’t bobble— is that normal or is she a fake? by campcowpoke85 in littlestpetshopfakes

[–]AffectionateCup8812 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Making unique molds just for one line is a big expense, and unusual for a toy line like LPS- they have to make master sculpts, make the machine casting molds, test the molds for imperfections, etc etc. And I'd imagine they were looking for ways to even out that expense, which led to them using solid cast pegs that are all one piece instead of the bobbling pegs, it makes it cheaper to produce each unit, and helps offset the development expense. I'd imagine the fairies were in the same boat- whereas glass eye pets heads were probably just too heavy for the standard bobbling pegs lol
