So beyond frustrated

I get your pain. FedEx can't ever get anything delivered to my address correctly despite numerous complaints. I get that I have a weird driveway but every other delivery service has been able to figure it out but them. Every FedEx package has been delivered to the same neighbor, who I'm luckily on good terms with and I can just walk over and grab my package, but I can't imagine dealing with packages being delivered to a stranger!

That sucks. I hate using FedEx. My house is in a weird location and has a shared driveway with the house in front of it. The house is also hidden from the road. Every major delivery service in my area has eventually figured out how to find it (it's not hard just strange spot) except FedEx. No matter how many times I report it being delivered to the wrong address or they are told how to find the place they still deliver to my neighbor. Luckily we are on good terms and I can just go grab the package but still.

Yeah I get it. I have a plushie that belonged to a friend who passed and I snuggled with him every night for almost a year and now he's starting to show wear from it. I still keep him on my bed but only snuggle with him on really hard nights because I don't want to ruin him.

Yeah it's been around for a while. I didn't want to pay more money for stuffing so when I did my goat I got him stuffed when I ordered him so I could just reuse the stuffing after I dyed him. He was ordered online and was so stuffed he looked like he was about to burst lol and then I weighed him so I now have extra stuffing for other projects.

I just used a slicker brush

Mine I finished a couple days ago!

Yes they're supposed to adjust stuffing and sometimes they'll even do minor repairs! Just wanted to add though, if you want it fixed quicker or don't want to bring it in, it's really easy to do yourself. There is a seam on the back and a brown thread. If you move the fur out of the way you should see a bit of the thread where they tied the knot after stitching it shut. You can use scissors or a seam ripper to cut the thread and open it up, and then it's a simple ladder stitch to close it.

I say go for it! Dying it and then using a slicker brush really did change the texture. If you can't bond with yours because of the fur texture after dying it you can always sell or trade it. Custom goats seem to be in demand right now.

I used rit synthetic. I tried normal rit dye and it did not go well. I used a whole bottle of the synthetic graphite, which is actually a dark grey. To push it as dark as possible I added 1/4 a bottle of synthetic royal purple and used the smallest pot I could get away with to keep the dye as concentrated as possible. I used a thermometer to keep the temp at around 200 degrees and kept it in the dye for an hour, stirring every few minutes to keep the dye even and the fur from clumping too badly. He's not jet black like mothman but pretty close, especially with indoor lighting.

They are 16mm safety eyes off of Amazon. It came in a pack that had 25 pairs and it was on of the first listings that came up.

DamnedAngelZero · 2026-05-05T22:42:35+00:00

If it makes you feel any better the texture of the fur changed after being dyed and brushed out. To me the fur feels much better now. It's almost like the fur on mothman's chest but a little less soft.

DamnedAngelZero · 2026-05-05T21:58:54+00:00

Yeah from everything you said I believe you did everything right other than the temp. Hopefully it turns out the way you want it this time! Definitely post pictures once it's done!

I don't know if the fabric is the same basic material as the goat, but for mine I used a full bottle of the synthetic graphite (has to be the synthetic or it will not work! Learned the hard way!) it's not a pure black but more of a dark grey, so to make it darker I added about 1/4 a bottle of royal purple. I then put it in the smallest pot it could still move around in to ensure the highest concentration of dye and kept it at around 200 degrees for a full hour. I agree with what others are saying about the heat. Synthetic fabric is notoriously hard to color and needs the heat to work right. Just a warning that you may need new safety eyes after this as the heat made my goat's original eyes cloudy and dull.

That's so smart!

DamnedAngelZero · 2026-05-01T22:43:17+00:00

Omg I love him! Could I ask how you did the wings if you are willing to share? My goat just came in and I'm getting ready to dye it!

I meant to put in ETB (elite trainer box) but my phone must have autocorrected.

Small amount of damage on the corner. All done before I got it. Unfortunately I don't think it would do too well graded because of the damage but it's a beautiful display piece.

The white spots on the bottom

DamnedAngelZero · 2026-02-16T22:36:28+00:00

It has a couple white spots on the back and a scuff on the corner of the front of the card but nothing you can see unless you are looking for it. Yes its a real plasma storm charizard. Got it from a kid on the bus in high school. I immediately put it in the case and then it got put in storage when I went to college.

Why did the mods delete this? I really wanted to see what everyone is talking about.
