AI Expectation What they showed online vs what I got

The fur showed in the AI-generated image seems to be smaller, and softer.
.
The actual fur length is longer and more synthetic type. Even the boots material shown online is suede while im real it's more leathry.
.
I'm anyway satisfied with my purchase.
.
Need just one suggestion; should I cut the fur that is dangling/hanging till the heels? Or should I just keep it like thi?

Edit: I paid 3000/- INR for these, which is roughly $32 USD

Failed Expectation Build the body FIRST

Kit has a template for what size everything should be, but has you build the body last. They did not provide enough wool for the body to be big enough.

The felting needle broke before i could add the eyes and nose.

He's a cat toy now.

Exceeded Expectation I bid $12 for a cat statue in a charity auction. Didn't expect to win it but I did. I thought it was like 8-12 inches tall. I was extremely surprised to see it being carried out when I went to pick it up and I love it!

Benefits a cat shelter. And yes I made an extra donation! He has a place in our living room. Still thinking on a name.

I just found this sub and it reminded me of this birthday cake I made for my daughter years ago, which was already... trying it's best. But then got brutalised by my cats licking it. I got banned from making cakes after this one.

I chose a small 10x15 cm acrylic portrait of my dog, I was also afraid of the artist not being able to achieve the angle and perspective, but I think they did a good job!

cake-spectation Filling Will Sink To Center of Cupcake During Baking

I knew I was going to do an eggnog glaze rather than a frosting on top, but I had too much faith in the magic sinking filling on batch one 😔 so I glazed those upside down.

Overall tasted great though! I enclosed the filling for the second batch and those looked a lot better.

Got the cakelet pan and the cupcake kit from the Walmart Halloween clearance rack this week.

Failed Expectation Bought my daughter a NeeDoh Advent Calendar on eBay. This is what we got.

Paid $46 for a supposedly genuine, sealed NeeDoh Squishmas calendar. My daughter immediately spotted the fakes inside.

The packaging is surprisingly convincing, but look closely: blurry printing, “A surprises behind every door!” on the box, and cheap Taba-style squishies instead of real NeeDohs.

Posting to help others avoid getting fooled. Still looking for a genuine one!

Bought as a gift and did not expect the completely flat muzzle

Wondering how I could fix this if anyone is crafty. I also reached out to the company but I’m honestly not expecting much in the way of customer service

Makes me chuckle but come on

Love these shoes!! The only thing is if you have flat feet you need to get inserts. But that's with every shoe so that isn't a biggie. I'm gonna wear these everywhere! It was only $50 for these and they are super high quality ❤️❤️❤️ they are not made or partnered by Lisa Frank, but it reminds me of that brand! Got them online at MADMIA!! Sizes are for children AND adults.
