To feel like I've been had?

[tickyandtackyandjackiebackie]

Has anyone else fallen victim to the atrocities of "Scruff-a-loves" ????

My smallest begged for one for Christmas - being the incredible gullible mum I am, I obliged.
Not just any though, it had to be the one with babies.
"2,3 or 4??"

Obviously 2.

But - once dipped in water and swirled around a bit, it's meant to transform into a glossy haired toy of dreams.

See attached photo. Not really what the box or advert suggested.

£25!!!!!!!

I feel like a prize plonker.

Fml. Dd is now 14, from your description she'd have loved that, I would have been you. Though sweet lord, waste of money.com!!! Wtf is that minging little creature?! How is that even a thing??

I'd be tempted to throw it in the tumble dryer, or use the hairdryer, then brush its "hair"

Same here. Bag of shit.

Looks like the sort of toy that's eyes follow you all around the room

Kinda looks nothing like the video!

I would take it back like that to the shop. No way would they deny a refund.

Yes my daughter had 3 different versions of this for Christmas, I thought we had gone wrong somehow but clearly not

Oh god, as per a pp im so glad my dd is too old for stuff like this, I never recovered from the cost of build a bear to be honest

As I thought, you need to dry and brush them, although when I looked it up online it says they're aware of counterfeits...

Same here - She still loves it bizarrely ?!

What the he’ll is that? £25?!! Can you complain and get your money back?

@FthisS you spent £75 on them?!

Yabu - my daughter has one of these and it's not a case of drop it in water, swirl it round and it's transformed.

You put it in the water, towel dry it, then use a hairdryer and the brush provided to groom it into the "glossy haired toy of dreams".

It's like putting your kid in the bath, dumping water over their head and then leaving them to drip dry instead of brushing/styling their hair and wondering why it's dried into a tangled mess.

It’s the sort of thing my sister and would’ve loved. My sister would’ve loved your soggy bedraggled one MORE because it clearly needed rescuing the most!

Hopefully it’ll improve once it’s dried and groomed!

looks like something we had left behind at the church Christmas fair.

Have you tried brushing and blow drying it?

She loves the bizarre money sucking fuzz ball.

Idk why.

I believe it's existence is solely to mock me when I make eye contact.

Every time she carries it around I hear the sound of pound coins going down the drain...

It's dry in this photo!!

I hope, giving it another dunk in water will help.

If all else fails, I'll stuff an old sock with rice. Same right?

It looks very much in need of a brush and a blow dry.

Feel free to add a photo of your daughters perfectly quaffed toy to inspire us mere mortals @melj1213

To be Fair I thought this too but the more you wash and dry it the better it gets! Good luck OP.

What did it look like before its "transformation"?

You have not been robbed .. you have purchased her the toy of her Christmas wishes, she will remember the scruffy love for it for years. You are a brilliant mum

You just need to brush it out.

My GD wet hers again and prefers her's scruffy.

But it doesn’t indeed look ...... a mess.. sorry

It's gorgeous 🥰😘🥰

How can you not see it's true beauty
