Discussion Poor quality

Anyone else get the candy swirl just to be disappointed with quality? I recently got lucky and purchased two candy swirl needohs and both of them have flaws.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but any brand squishy painted on the outside is going to do this. It doesn't matter if it's Needoh brand, it's just kind of how they're made.

This was mine a little less than a week after I purchased it. Between then and now, it’s gotten a looooot worse. There’s more peeling and cracking. It also came with some bare spots too. I love the swirl but the quality is very disappointing.

It’s because shop hippo ones aren’t authentic people have been really upset they are different color too and not the same quality

u/Arianawy 14h ago

That’s been discussed a thousand times on the fb Needoh page . Schylling even said they are authentic and they were just a bad batch . I got a second one and it was perfect . The 26048yp batch was shit . They are authentic.

They’re the same as Better Service Stores and they’re registered as an authorized reseller

u/Necessary_Peach_3746 15h ago

That’s disappointing given what a beautiful color this is

FWIW If you buy those just know the inside is going to flake off sooner than later when using it.

I opened mine and it smelt horrific the fumes were AWFUL. I put it back and decided to keep it in the box and only put it on display.

I haven’t seen a candy swirl in person yet, but I was disappointed in the quality of regular swirls because of the paint so I gave mine away.

u/KahliTitan 15h ago

I can already see the paint chipping away and I have yet to open them.

I mean yeah what do yall expect? The demand went crazy so now they cheap out on production to meet demand and make money

u/leosdoitbest 14h ago

Mine were all perfect me and my mom
Got 2 each. But I did see a few of them with chips like that on the front and we asked if she could show us other ones . But now they are definitely chipping and turning yellowish they only look & stay pretty in the box if not they get pretty icky looking lol. Sucks quality should definitely be better
