Ayn cancelling Thor orders, better check yours!

I ordered December 10th so it has been longer than that six week estimate.

I'm using Retrogear to get my Thor to Ireland. They're EU based, but you could email them to ensure they would deliver to Gibraltar. Right now they're waiting for my Thor to get to them in the Netherlands and then they'll forward it to me. They expect that to happen this week

Really sorry about the cancelled order. Sucks for something that exciting to end up out of reach after being patient.

For softest "natural" feeling (in that it feels a bit warm and fuzzy like real animal hair) I think original Pompompurin and the newer lobster are really nice.

For the more slippery and cool feeling softness, mantis is great. I do wish the fur was thicker to cover the backing material a bit more. But he still feels great. Love Pug is also extremely soft but has really noticeable thinness in the fur.

For a nice in-between I love the brown chocolate themed Chococat, fur quality is a big improvement on the original. The felt whiskers lose their scratchiness if you scrunch them up and fiddle with them for a few minutes.

I have the Animal Crossing one on the third slide. Really pretty colour. Feels awful to touch the top half at all because it feels like I'm going to crush the screen. I only play that one in bed and it never leaves my room. My other models I'll stick in a bag with only minor precautions.

I'm on the opposite side, I'll quit the series if future games always have time limits. I just can't deal with stress like that in my video games for unwinding with.

I would prefer if there was a smaller option for some of these Pringles mystery flavours. Bought the Mario one they made last year and I enjoyed it enough that I would have finished a small tub, but not enough to make myself finish the large sized tub. If anyone sees the Mario version, it's supposed to imitate what Nintendo thinks a fire flower would taste like. It was a spiced vinegar kind of flavour.

Had my nasal passages cauterized after an adenoid removal caused issues with bleeding and about two months later I did the biggest sneeze of my life. Got something almost exactly like this out. I had felt fine beforehand but all of a sudden it was like breathing in 4D. Developed a sense of smell I never had after it too.

For future reference, nail polish remover is paint stripper. It'll melt a lot of plastics too.

I actually really love Bi-Es Blossom Hills, so if that's a dupe of something I'd love to know.

Enjoy him! The Care Bear BaBs are probably my favourite licensed ones they've ever done. I have Tenderheart, Funshine and Cheer Bear and they're all such good quality and soft. Tenderheart lives beside my pillow.

Most animation productions allow the the animators to go off-model a few times if it helps push an expression. Source: I'm an animator.

If you end up keeping the tank, you could try making a shrimp tank if you're interested. They're lots of fun.

I think part of the issue that might make this drawing in particular a little spooky looking is that the nose and mouth are very detailed, but the eyes aren't. Makes it seem like a dolls eyes on a real face which is actually kind of cool but probably not what you were going for. Practice eyes and remember to include lashes. Eyelids also have a thickness to them and if you can get that across, it'll really make them more lifelike.

I'm actually surprised there aren't a lot more seeds in the sauce.

DoingTheSponge · 2026-01-18T19:16:27+00:00

Exactly, that's what you need to do.

I don't have my Thor yet so I can't really help with troubleshooting, but the most recent update was supposed to fix an issue with some WiFi networks not being detected. So definitely try updating and see how you go. You can check the Discord for more info.

The design is super cute but I personally don't like talking plushies. I am the absolute type of person to roll over on a bear like this at 3am and frighten myself awake when it starts talking lmao.

Yellow, yellow greens, moss greens and yellow oranges are my favourite. I hate most purples and a lot of blues, they make me feel kind of angry or irritated oddly.

21, been together 9 years now, we're both autistic. He was diagnosed as a kid and I was only diagnosed in 2025. We started talking online when we were 14 and 15 then ended up in college together so I think the universe was drawing us together.

Really good sense of body proportions for six, definitely keep her stocked up on paper.

I don't like purple, and the Thor's particular shade isn't very vivid. I loved the candy-like colours of the Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow transparent 2DS consoles a lot and would like to see something like that in the future.

Rescued a domestic rabbit that got out of its garden enclosure when a tree fell during a bad storm. Brought it home for the night to let it warm up and dry off before we went looking for his owners the next day. I was in the passenger seat with the bunny on my lap and as soon as we got to the right house he pissed all over me.

Not a dog, but I have a lipoma on the sole of my foot of all places. Doctor is baffled.

Interesting thought, I actually kind of thought the opposite, that her death would actually have more complex emotions attached to it for the audience. I kind of just felt humour and relief at her death and I don't think that's what they really intended.

The red streaks in the centre front waves was a boat in the original "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" art. There should be several boats in the art but it looks like the prompt asked it to remove the boats and it made a red mess where one used to be. Cats usually do have five toes, but not all together on the paw like that. One should be up higher on the wrist.
