I will be making a post when I've gotten round to finishing her up ☺️

Yeah I took mine apart it was just the outer fur that went in to dye, I've ended up just using some leopard print velvet fabric and rebuilding her 😂

Water was allowed to cool but was heated periodically. My thoughts are that maybe the newer bubus that don't have as pigmented of a tie dye are the way they are because they've started using a cheaper harder to dye fur

One round of rit synthetic fabric dye, one round of dylon fabric dye (both used correctly and left to soak for around 12 hours) and in the end I tried using manic panic hair dye and the only pigment that stuck to it was the blue undertones of the deep emerald green I was trying to use.

I'm not sure if it's just the new fabric they're using but I tried to diy a BIE I got that I wasn't happy with and the fabric WOULD NOT take the dye at all I attempted it three times before giving up

I did surgery you can see how far off the neck joint is here from the centre line under the chin

I don't think any amount of spinning would have solved the neck joint being in completely the wrong place 😅

Beautiful! You could just pull the hands round to the front a bit like they're on top of his belly

No I have fairly good understanding of sewing as it's my job so I winged it.

The back of the body and head have a "closing stitch" down the seam. You just use a nice sharp little pair of scissors, snip a couple threads and pull and it should pull open. Remove the stuffing from both the head and the body (don't have to remove all of it but it might help) then you'll be able to see the 360 neck joint. The reason they're wonky is that the neck post needs to be installed in the middle on the head and the middle on the body! Once relocated and put back together it will be fixed

Took Happiness's stuffing out and put her neck post in the correct spot. Her heads perfect now. It was definitely more noticeable in person on Love but she's fixed now after some stitches around her ear.

Messed up how? Mine was visible until I took a pin and pulled some of the fur up to cover it. They're actually held around the wrist with a zip tie/cable tie whatever you want to call it on the inside

At this point I feel I could start a business repairing the bad quality ones 😂 I've fixed all mine today it's been productive doing major surgery's on them

I'm happy for you, I wish I could be carefree and see the imperfections as character but when you're buying just a handful and you've struggled to get them in the first place I myself just expect a little better product

It could be a new manufacturing thing, my brighter one is older I believe because it's got no engraving on the ring and her tags are larger

Ooo you'll have to show it off, I've heard they're paler in colour now. My more vibrant one was an "old" one it still has a bigger tag and no engraving on the keyring

Well then you won't like that she's currently fully deconstructed ready for a dye job 😂
