I SAW THE FUCKING TIE DYE SPRINGTRAP PLUSH AT THE SUPERMARKET TODAY so I bought him

here is my exhaustive review and comparison of funkos springtrap plushies because i can

ok so first of all, the tie dye spring trap is a brand new pattern funko made just for their horrible tie dye collection. his face is more round than the original release, the og one has a dart at the top of the forehead which gives it two sharp corners that end up making the face appear more square and defined. this dart Is usually where the eyebrows are placed on other plushies [i am pretty sure this has always been a remnant of funkos sanshee copies as their Bonnie does have this as well as funkos regular Bonnie, but not their newer bonnie plushies]. Their bodies are more or less the same although tie dyes stomach is much smaller and the body is overall narrower.


the quality of the tie dye plush is, pretty subpar. The plushie feels like something you'd win at a carnival. It's a slightly lighter plush made of inferior materials. It has a plastic nose which surprisingly the original doesn't have. Their original springtrap is one of the few plushies that doesn't have a plastic nose, rather it's fabric, and I do prefer that.  The string used for the wiring is a flimsier nylon, it does have one upside in that the ends won't fray and reveal any white cord [which is something that happens on the original, you could argue that it's more realistic as it looks like exposed wire ends but if it withers too much it's not the best look.]


Fabric is quite drastically different. the original spring trap is sort of, normal stuffed animal fur? It's very short and the same fabric is used for almost the entirety of the plush. The nose, eyes and  embroidered patches are a rougher fabric. The teeth are some sort of plastic leather with very thin printed on lines for the teeth. Tie dye here has longer fur for the main body, a shorter fur for the stomach/ ear patches/ gray on the Feet and hands and then a similar rough fabric for the teeth and eyes.


The whole plushie sort of feels like they've drawn on its fur with marker, it's ever so slightly sticky feeling? It's not sticky but it feels as if I'm gonna get marker residue on my hands after touching it. This is probably due to however in gods name they dyed this fabric. This might actually be because my hands are stupidly dry from my hand washing problem but I can't be certain?


Okay now onto main aesthetic? differences. 

 I will not be making a comment on the main body color as, well, it's a tie dye plushie and the fucked up color is sort of the whole reason this plush exists.

Ears, tie dyes are much smaller both In height and width. The lighter patches on the ears are also differently shaped, they're rounder unlike the originals which are more of a dart shape. The rounder patches are actually more faithful to springtraps design which you will see me say a lot.   

This plush has a theme of being more accurate  at the cost of feeling lower quality, and the trend doesn't stop at just the ears. The withering on this bugger is all printed on fabric, the original had No printed fabric, it was all embroidered or sewn on fabric. The withering is definitely more accurate on tie dye [it's also on his mouth this time around] but you can't celebrate that when it looks like shit due to being  printed on. Also, this time around they skipped adding any withering on the back as the original does have a band that goes all the way round which is pretty neat. 

What I don't understand is that they actually did do embroidery, both the exposed metal on the ear and the red on his feet ARE EMBROIDERED details whereas on the original they are both fabric patches.

For some reason tie dye has gray for the ends of its hands which is, interesting. Springtrap doesn't exactly have exposed endoskeleton hands so why they chose to change this eludes me. 

He also has gray eyes! Now he can stare at you with game accurate murderous intent

In conclusion 

Whilst the tie dye plushie can be considered more accurate to springtraps design, it suffers a lot in the quality department  and that ends up dragging it down. If ur desperate for an accurate springtrap plushie for whatever reason, tie dye has your back. Otherwise I would suggest just hunting down the original plush on eBay or whatever, I would argue that it's the better plush despite its inaccuracies. Also it's not horribly price gourged like THE FUCKING FUNKO SPRINGBONNIE PLUSH DESPITE BEING AN OLDER PLUSH. i got mine for 20 whilst tie dye cost me about 13. So there's not a drastic price difference.
