>>56519554Definitely one of mine as well
though I guess for Volo it's just canon, kek >>56518877. It's wild to me that even official merch likes to use it. I feel like for that particular DIY one at least, the stitch is far enough under the face to not stick out too much when viewed from other angles
I actually have a Toon Link plush with a similar stitch, but the chin seam is this close to merging with the neck. It looks cute and feels nice in my hand, that's why I bought it. I also saw a cheaper version of the same type of Link plushie sold (bizarrely at the same store I bought my cute, good-looking one from) - had a puffed double chin (the seam was now farther away from the neck, closer to the mouth) and the colors looked different, quite obviously a change in manufacturer. Remember feeling like "yikes, thank god I bought mine when I bought it", those cheaper once would've been an insta-pass from me. From that comparison alone, I believe a plushie can look good even with that stitch, it just can't be too high on the face. Meanwhile the official one in picrel, the stitch is so close to the mouth... It's still cute and well made IMO but the stitch ruins it a little for me. I'd need a good think about if I wanted to buy that or not (a "is the face cute-dumb enough to justify the price" kind of evaluation, I think I'd need to hold the little guy in my hand and turn him every angle possible to be sure
is what I wanted to write and leave at, but...that cute little sparkle in his eye... The more I look at that picture, the more I fear official Volo plush would probably win and come home with me despite his double chin. Damnit...).
