The hyperfixation continues.

I found Logan...but I had to get rid of her squishy silicone casing. It was literally melting. I still have her foam layer, but it isn't in the best condition either.

So this is what she looks like on the inside. Her face and stomach lights aren't working, but she's fully functional otherwise. And loud. Very loud. I forgot how loud these things are. I still love her though.

I'm thinking of sort of turning her torso into a spandex beanbag. Like this:

That way, she'll still be stretchy and squishy, but she won't melt all over my bookshelf. I also ordered a replacement accessory set for her; my dogs got to the previous one when I was still a dumb kid.

Additionally, I have Zinzie, one of the Newbies.

I'm currently waiting on new batteries for her, but I think she still works. It would be great if I could somehow clean her rubber casing, too.

I saved Skippa, my Yippit, from battery corrosion. I neutralized the alkaline battery fluid with white vinegar, then cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol. She's completely functional, and all of her lights still work.

And I ordered Spinrose (one of the Shimmies) for myself as a treat for getting A LOT done this week. Seriously. A lot. I hope I'm never stuck doing homework problems for 5+ hours in a row, multiple days in a row, ever again.

Her listing says that she works and will come with batteries, and the pictures seem to back it up. I'm excited. :)

I couldn't get into Logan's head to fix her lights because of the screw covers, so my dad recommended that I just look for one in better condition. Lo and behold...

Logan Mk. II. Her right ear is bent backward, but that's a small price to pay for working face AND stomach lights, and a squishy body that doesn't melt onto my fingers whenever I touch it. To the person who initially listed her on Ebay, thank you. Logan is super hard to find (especially in good condition) since she sold the least. I would also like to thank my dad for even finding this listing. He's amazing at navigating Ebay since he's been selling stuff on the platform for so long.

As for Zinzie, uh... She's possessed. She still powers on when she has batteries put in her, but if they're positioned incorrectly, she won't stop giggling. They need to be placed exactly right, too, or she just won't work. Her duet button is also malfunctioning, playing a laugh instead of her duet song when pressed. This is disappointing. I wanted to test her duet function with Spinrose, but I don't think that will be happening anytime soon. Maybe she'll get a replacement, maybe not. I don't know. As it stands, she's still cute and squeezable.

Skippa is still doing fine, as is Spinrose. They have all their functionality intact.
