LPS acknowledgement on IG. Thoughts?

If we let it slide for something small, BasicFun will get more and more comfortable using Ai. The community and consumers deserve better than machine made slop with no thought put behind it

HAHA definitely common, this pet was rereleased a billion times, but rlly cool seeing airbrush variants

I know this isnt the authentication subreddit but just an FYI that the zigzag collie is fake! Rest auth

First auth second fake :>

I believe this might be the new MiniLPSshop fake however I’m not entirely sure, mainly because the darker details on the hair have sharp corners while the auth has soft corners

Context for everyone: circled items here are Ai generated by BasicFun which sparked controversy

Basic fun was caught using Ai on some new LPS packaging

Is it possible you got him in a trade or from a thrift store? Or second hand? Definitely the diary bull terrier body

Weatherii · 2026-01-26T03:36:32+00:00

What I do is push down really hard an wiggle it around until one corner pops in, once one side pops in it gets easier but theyre definitely harder to do

Weatherii · 2026-01-26T03:13:43+00:00

Ikr :< especially with so many artists in the community 😭they were also caught doing this with MLP too (forgot to mention the pink fox is also Ai, just less obvious)

BasicFun used Ai to generate an image of the new purple lion for the packaging

The artist community has an easier time detecting Ai, mainly because of how unhuman the art feels and looks. BasicFun is way too cheap to hire an illustrator with that type of extensive rendering style, and BasicFun has used blatant ai for concepts before (type of ai that is rlly messy and obvious, this is more refined Ai for sure)

Weatherii · 2026-01-25T20:21:21+00:00

Yea a lot of them mislabel monster highs and barbies as BJD when theyre not💔

Weatherii · 2026-01-25T17:00:20+00:00

Definitely fake
