Michael, you came here with a specific demand. You asked for our opinion about your puppets and that is exactly what we gave you OUR opinions not what you needed to hear. Had you needed that, you would have had to tell us so and we would have patted your shoulder until the end of time.
The head=A0does not fit the body; it's a kitschy combination of=A0a realistic style -toy's body imitates the real bunny body, with natural looking legs and ears- with an abstract one, a heart SHAPED head. Your metaphor attempt is confusing...=A0The toy=A0would not qualify as a Frankestein Bunny either.

Hi Caro,

Thanks, I agree about the seam issue. It is slightly distracting and  
doesn't contribute to the design.

Can you tell me more about why you are not keen on the concept you  
mentioned? By the way I wouldn't verbalize it in the same way that  
the "heart replaces the head". To me, the heart is the
character's  
head. Love Bunnies "see" with their hearts, they also listen with  
their hearts. That's why they have their hearts on their heads.

Michael
