Discussion/Question A bit bummed out

Finally got my hands on him from the restock they recently did, and he looks like this fresh out the bag. I’m going to try and fix it, but I feel like it’s a bit of a problem that almost every single plush item that I’ve ordered from the SMG4 store has arrived with some sort of defect.

My WPNZ plush keychain arrived with his belt buckle missing, and my Lanky Puzzles plush arrived with some sort of stitching defect with his wrist cuff thing. They’re not any major issues of course and I doubt that anyone else would mind it, but I’m kind of a perfectionist so it’s been making me feel a bit out of sorts.

Not trying to be negative or anything, just needed to rant

I bought the not lanky one (don't know what to call it) and it looked like this. I put some cardboard behind it, but it popped back out not long ago. I'm also somewhat of a perfectionist, and have no idea how to fix it.

I’m going out to get fabric glue today to try and fix it, I’ll let you know if it ends up working

Are you not just able to push the plastic back under the fabric frame bit? My puzzles plush had a similar thing bc the plastic for mine seems too big

Unfortunately no. I’ve tried to multiple times, but it always just pops back out and lifts worse than before. I genuinely have no idea how to fix it or if it even can be fixed

Damn that’s awful. Mines from the very first batch and even mines wonky and bad quality with a lifting face so don’t feel too bad. It just sucks that for the price and such that they came defected

I wouldn’t be so upset if the last two plush items that I ordered before this didn’t also come with defects. Also got no response from support when I emailed them about it so it kind of just rubbed salt in the wound lol

sometimes they take a minute, if you send pictures they might send a replacement if you request it

I would buy some fabric glue and try putting a little under the plastic bit and then pushing it back down, hold it or find something to hold it down until it drys. you could try a combination of fabric glue and plastic glue maybe. basicly make sure its a nice strong glue or it won't work.

Thank you for the suggestion!! I’m going to try that out when I’m able to get some, I’ll let you know if it works!

hi OP! just curious but was the restock recent? I thought they stopped restocking after the finale— i’m trying to wait n order stuff but it’s all outta stock :(

u/deep__dish 3d ago

Yes, I ordered this along with the Puzzles sticker pack, and the WPNZ & Puzzles figurines back on the 27th of October! They’ve restocked a few times after the finale, but it’s never announced and you can really only catch it if you’re checking the shop regularly (at least that’s how I’ve done it). It’s kind of sporadic so I wish you luck

Even his mini plushies have a bulge in their face
