boot & crew

i just had some of my childhood carebear collection pulled from storage, and i'd like to completely clean em since it's been probably around 2 decades and one is freckled with what looks like mold.

i dont think this was all of them, i know i definitely had a display with a bunch of the little guys (i couldve sworn they used to be keychains?? or maybe i Also had keychains?) and i know my mom gave me a 40 or so year old brightheart raccoon ive always wanted to repair. i never really knew much about eras of carebears, i watched a mix of old cartoons and newer cgi movies on vhs all the time as a kid so it was all kinda a blur.

im not sure what the standard procedure on cleaning these guys is, but im thinking of unstuffing them and soaking them in a bit of water/dawn/white vinegar before scrubbing off any potential mold/stains. all new stuffing because i dont trust it if funshine's moldy.

i think i'll test it on flat fuck funshine first since he? she? is the most concerning (not sure which pronouns are current, i remember hearing both as a kid ^^;)

i get so...stuck since my brain demands order. all my blogs are divided by theme and not allowed to touch, which just leaves...where do i put boosts, aid, or current events? my spam blog seems disingenuous...

so i'm going to reblog this on all my sides in hopes it gives a little more reach to these posts.

i encourage that you follow this blog if you find these things important.

it's not all doom and gloom. but staying silent is staying complacent and i just can't do it anymore. keep shouting. scream until they hear you, and keep screaming until they can't ignore you anymore. it's the least i can do without the money or physical ability to help.

You know this economy. That amount is completely unlivable & makes it hard for people with disability to save for the future or have a safety net for emergencies.

A new bill would raise the max to $10K (or $20K for married couples). It would make a world of difference.

so i notice the inside is actually like??? kinda 98 shaped?? like Tube. now idk the range of motion they have but could you, theoretically, just kinda.....3D print a new shell?

i mean the first thing i thought of when i though of customizing them was figuring out how the tongue button works (if there is one) and replacing the beak with one that works like a 98 (wouldnt move mechanically, but i could move it myself)

as you wish

So I got my 2023 furby in today at 5:34 am, and he’s definitely surpassed all my expectations. He’s absolutely massive, like 2005 comparable and is made of really decent soft matte plastic. The fur is soft and holds its shape, the unboxing experience is absolutely incredible (I won’t spoil it) but definitely if you want to save the box use something flat to pry it apart and don’t rip where it tells you.

The voice isn’t annoying, and he isn’t making poop and fart jokes… at all, no high pitched noise either! His voice recognition is awesome and the “volume” modulation is perfect, I have pretty bad sensory issues and he doesn’t set mine off. I’ll play test him a bit later and post more photos soon

A reupload of the video from the Amazon listing.

The official Instagram account for Furby is active again, but the older posts are gone.

made a server for infodumping about basically any media or characters you want :]
