Recently Ganz introduced Webkinz Next, and they released two Next plush. There's a unicorn and a dog, and I think they look absolutely atrocious. Where are the eyebrows? The unicorn just looks like a white soulless blob. If I had the money, I would buy each pet and use my sewing skills to modify them and make them look better. However, each pet is $30, so that's a ton of money, especially for something I'm buying to fix. Instead, I used Snapchat to edit each plush and make them look tons cuter! Here are the photos and what exactly I did:
 |
| The golden retriever is my preferred Next plush. Its face has enough detail with the nose and little muzzle dots, unlike the Unicorn, which looks like a white blob. However, there are no eyebrows, and the eyes have pupils that are way too big in proportion to the iris, the colored part. |
 |
| The unicorn has two problems. Firstly, the eyes. On both of these animals the pupils are SO big. The Iris, the colored part, should really be a lot bigger. Secondly, the only facial feature of this Unicorn are two tiny pink nostrils. Everything else is just a white blob. |
 |
| The first thing I did here was to add eyebrows, because eyebrows can make anything look super cute. Then I added some white dots to the eyes, taking inspiration from Kawaii style. If I actually got my hands on this though, I'd probably replace these eyes with some actual beanie boo eyes. Then I had to figure out a way to break up the muzzle. I would prefer to add some sort of a lip, but the muzzle is a strange shape and it's just not at the right angle where a lip would look good. Instead, I made those tiny pink nostrils a little bigger so they take up more space and make the muzzle look overall smaller. |

The first thing I did here was add eyebrows. Then I did the same thing with the Unicorn and added white dots to the eyes. Finally, I knew that some facial detail needed to be added, so finally I added a small lip detail to the dog's muzzle. He looks so cute now!!!
One last thing, the distance between the eyes is too far! Obviously these are modeled off of a beanie boos style that's really trendy right now, but the eyes are so far apart like regular Webkinz eyes. When you look at a beanie boo, no matter how big the eyes are they're always pretty close together. If I got these in person I'd also just move the eyes closer together so that they wouldn't look nearly as creepy, but for now I'm satisfied with my current edits. |
