So! I’ve researched, and this is the basic anatomy of a furby face- or at least, how I’d make a movable one without any machinery. How it would work, is, the back plate holds the eyes and mouth in it, and screws into the front face plate, With the fabric of the furby in between the two to hold it in place on the doll.
A one-piece mold would obviously be easier, but I think one of the most fun parts of a furby is that the face can move, so, I’ll be at least trying to make one that you can pose. We’ll see how it goes!
Hello anyone reading this! This is a response to this misguided post.
A classic example of reading way way WAY too far into something searching for something to nitpick and hate as only the internet can do. And that’s ok! You’re only 22 (if your profile is up to date) and still growing as a person like everyone else and learning how the world do.
Btw, the post which btw resulted in @cremsie getting many death threats. Even if you disagree with everything that I say here I am totally fine with that but I am asking you to apologize to Creme for this. Because of your public post and slander she got death threats, she wasn’t getting any before you posted this. Likewise if you receive any grief this post I’m sorry in advance and I will personally come after any dweeb to thinks it’s normal to tell someone to go kill themselves.
Firstly, Creme is not CIS. A little research would have helped there but anyway that’s done with. Check.
I can’t say if the character is trans misogynistic because I’m not fully trans mentally. But don’t you think what you’re saying is a little hypocritical because individuals gonna be individuals and there in fact ARE hypermasculine transfolk out there.
Let’s take your sentence here: “The cis writer portrays her as a hypermasculine woman with a full mane (beard) and muscular build, in nearly every way she is a terf cariactures fursona. “
Way to assume that all hypermasculine people are terfs (if you could say sorry to them too that would be gr8)
Anyway I could pick apart what you said as you did to Creme but the point is this: they were trying to help. They were trying to portray that a simple kindness goes a long way whether you are CIS, trans, gay, ace, a lion or a lioness not glorifying the actions of CIS. The comics illustrate how CIS people can help and help to understand transfolk problems and how small actions can help to make a better, kinder community. I doesn’t matter that the character is quiet or hypermasculine because there are people out there just like them (well maybe, I hope there aren’t lions walking around downtown otherwise we dead) Saying someone can’t help a transfolk because they are CIS is just…baffles me. You help someone. You help someone regardless of who they are and who you are.
You or anyone else are not the authority on what is transphobic, you can not gate keep transpeople and regulate how to deal with their problems.
Have you ever purchased an adult 1998-9 furby that is NIB or has a clean battery compartment, and by all accounts should be working, but just doesn’t? If it’s base is loose instead of stiff and pointed forwards, and jiggling, slapping, and tapping hasn’t helped, you probably have a comatose furby!
Some furbies are easier than others, first, try the beak method! Some furbies can be started up without skinning! Pull the beak forwards and locate the small cork gear, and turn it towards you with a small flathead screw driver, furby should make some whirring noises and then start up!
If your furby doesn’t have a motor gear behind the beak, you’ll have to skin it. If you’ve never skinned a furby, it’s not too hard! There’s tons of tutorials you can look up online.
When you’ve skinned your furby look towards the left, between the beak and speaker. There should be a little rectangular opening with a flat gear in it. Turn it gently to the right, when you start hearing whirring, hold it there, and keep wiggling it! Furby will spring to life!
Now what if you’re like me, and for some reason you can’t find the motor gear? Turns out some furbies have a small piece of plastic in front of the gear, so you can’t access it. This was the case with my comatose tropical furby! Fortunately it’s an easy fix. Use an exactoknife or box cutter and heat it up for 30-60 seconds with a lighter. Then carefully use the hot blade to slice through the plastic until the square is gone and the gear is exposed.
From there wiggle that gear to the right and get your furby going? After simply reskin and voila!
