I haven't even attempted to pull of the Ocean brain, I'm afraid it'll pull the head off with it. Yeah, even with the hair dryer, it is somewhat easy to wind up with little tears, or creases which can later turn into tears of the material. The softer brains definitely come off much easier.

I think that the squishiness is cool because I like the idea of there being a mixture of materials used within a single figure.
The harder versions almost come across more like helmets. I like the organic feel to the soft ones.

I heard that the squishy brains are made from processed puppy ears... 
Are the clear ones typically more soft than opaque?

and Knewnan, using kitten tails in soup is just plain weird! Paws, maybe, but tails??

The Damaged and gold brain are squishy? Crazy! I had no idea. I've always just assumed they were hard. I learned something new today....

Cocky brain is soft but not as squshy as something like the walder.

I've been more worried about tearing the soft ones because they don't seem to get any more pliable with heating, you just have to count on them being stretchy enough as is.
