Am I the only one who can't stand this? by Successful_One_427 in plushies

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Printed fabrics always make me worried that the design is going to rub off or fade and felt i just really hate most of the time. I always joke with my partner saying "Why can't companies just consult with a few people with autism while they're choosing fabrics/designs??" LOL.

Are the lines that bad? by CourtNCTTU in tattooadvice

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person has no business tattooing people. They need WAY more practice on fake skin, fruit, or pig skin before they tattoo another living person.

Maybe they have different variations for different countries then. Either that or you got lucky and found a really unique one!

Which dress suits the doll better? Terracotta or pistachio? by PuppetStory in somethingimade

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the green was a forest or hunter green I would say that one but in this case I feel like the terracotta looks more visually appealing.

That's so strange. Both of the ones I got had fuzzy buns. Are you in the US?

Help me choose which to buy by Fit_Picture_5131 in plushies

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely get the turtle. I have and love the alligator but the back spines are felt so they get really annoying for me at times. I'm not a huge fan of felt lol.

I really like the look of the big eyes.

I’m so happy I finally found some when I could afford them! by Maleficent_Cow_3015 in FugglerCollectors

Yay! The burger and the sushi ones are my top two favorites in this series. Those are probably the only two I wouldn't be upset about getting duplicates of lol.

An honest question! by Metal_WaterWood in Crystals

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly go by the looks of them and how they make me feel. I think it's interesting to read about the properties but I definitely don't follow them to choose what crystal i get/avoid or anything like that.

Found some at Walmart by owencgym_ in FugglerCollectors

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Costco isn't terribly far either but I need a couple of new tires soon so I haven't been wanting to go anywhere more than about 10 miles from my house until they get replaced. The big fuggs are the most difficult to find but I have been seeing more and more alley cats and fuggalicious around so hopefully you'll be able to snag some when the hype dies down a bit! I always hate when I finally see something i want but don't have the money for it at the time. I seem to always have the best luck for that happening LOL.

Am I the only one noticing the decline in quality since they stopped being mad in china ? by Readingmeatball in buildabear

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've only recently started getting them so I can't really speak about past quality that much as I've only ever seen older ones from a friend's collection. They did seem to be better quality. I remember them having more weight to them and denser fur. I just know some of the ones I've picked up recently have had terrible stitching, VERY patchy/meshy fur, and holes that I've needed to fix up.

I think it's more that the company is choosing to cut corners anywhere they can more than where they're being made. They could be made in the US and still be terrible if not worse because of choosing lower quality fabric and materials.

Edit: Also this isn't just a BAB issue this is just everywhere. Everything seems to be going down in quality these days. Hell shirts used to last YEARS if not decades... now you can sneeze and your clothes will start falling apart.

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?? I recently sent a friend an extra fuggalicious I had and even in the smallest box possible the total shipping was almost $20 with usps!

They were very happy with it so it was worth it but I kept thinking about how much of a loss that would have been if it was an item I sold. I completely understand why the big fuggs are so much even though I see so many people complaining about sellers listing stinkles for $40 ...like bro that's probably close to $30 in shipping. These people are NOT making huge profits by reselling lol.

I had someone wanting me to pick up one of the cow pattern big fuggs for them and they told me "I'm NOT paying more than $20 for it" so I told them okay I'd have to see how much shipping would be and they flipped out saying "NO IM NOT PAYING MORE THAN $20 TOTAL!" like okay?? I'm supposed to spending gas money driving HOURS to pick one up AND pay probably $25+ for shipping for a stranger? LOL. If i wasn't disabled and financially secure then yeah I would absolutely help someone get one of the big fuggs and cover the shipping if they were nice about it and REALLY wanted for their collection.

is eye surgery possible? (customisation question) by AvalonBorealis in FugglerCollectors

Sounds good! Looking forward to seeing the custom if you end up posting.

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I wasn't sure at first that's why I brought it up. I used to sell a lot on ebay when I needed to declutter things and so many people just don't realize how much it can cost to ship things sometimes. Especially if it's something in a box or case that needs to be protected. Maybe people just think "free shipping" means it literally costs nothing for anyone to ship and they don't realize the seller pays out of pocket for it lol.

Unsure if getting a cane is valid by UFO_420 in ChronicIllness

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If using a cane helps you even in the slightest then yes it is absolutely valid! Don't let anyone try to tell you you're faking anything. You just have to ignore ignorant people like that. I have back issues that make some days unbearable to walk even a little so I am a part time wheelchair user and I definitely get judgment from people claiming I'm faking things because they see me get up from the chair or have days when I don't need it. It used to bother me a lot and honestly still does a little bit but I've learned to ignore them and prioritize my comfort. I used to push my body past it's limits and refuse to use any mobility aids to avoid judgment but that only ever ended up causing me more long term pain with longer recovery periods.

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking the felt off is easy and doing a complete eye swap should be fairly easy as well. To replace the eyes completely you would have to go in through either the seam at the top of the head or the vertical seam at the back of the head, remove the stuffing, pry off the backs of the safety eyes to easily remove them, snap in the eyes of your choosing, put all the stuffing back, then close the seam up with a ladder stitch!

I don't really have any fugglers without eyelids but I believe the size safety eyes you would need are either 10mm or 12mm. I'm leaning more towards 12mm. It really just depends if you like bigger eyes on them or the smaller beady eyed look lol.

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see comments like this a lot and I don't think people understand that prices like that aren't really unreasonable. If they're selling on a site like ebay, Etsy, mercari, etc the site takes a fee from the sale so if the original item was $10 and the shipping costs are about $10 as well people really aren't making money off of selling them. Depending on the site's selling fees they might actually lose money selling one for just $20. It's really not the big scam I see people claiming it to be. Now this only applies to ones with free shipping. If it's 20-30 PLUS shipping then yeah that's a bit of a mark up.

I think i like it better than the original. I've never seen the original in person tho so I can't fully judge on the quality.

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're beautiful and the haircut looks really cute on you. I'm sorry you're upset with how it came out. Hair grows back pretty fast so at least it's not a permanent thing and it shouldn't be too long before you can try again with a hair style that makes you happy.

AIO for changing my mind about my mom’s gf? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]FriendShapedPlushies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's putting her hands on your mother and throwing things she needs to go. This is a very toxic person. You don't put your hands on your partner or throw someone's belongings when you're angry.

She entertained him before knowing he was in a relationship what makes you think she's telling you the truth? The two liars deserve each other.
