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?

I wish I had know that last night, I was making soup that called for a dash of puppy ears and I had run out so I used a tablespoon of kitten tales instead.

I dunno...I thought that some of them looked like a colored vinyl, but they could just be painted...I don't have ANY to enjoy or study for vinyl variation...
and Knewnan, using kitten tails in soup is just plain weird! Paws, maybe, but tails??

My wife is always threatening out cat that she's going to make osso bucco out of his tail.

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.
