I'll say this right now. I'm not a fan of the puppets to begin with. I told Logan that if they're kept the way they are, a sizable chunk (imo at least 50%) of the remaining Junior era (or otherwise solely Junior) fans would leave. I've heard suggestions in a stream where the topic was discussed on my channel about changes to the character designs, and that in general Cody and Bowser have the worst puppet designs. Suggestions have mainly centered around Cody, saying to give him more of a design similar to that of Ralsei (from Deltarune) with a cape and a hat or something. In fact, in one of my comments, I said exactly this: "At the very least, tone down the stereotypical nerd part. The most you needed was a 5 in that department, and you went to an 11, and then some." Bowser, on the other hand...idk how to fix him, really. Make him look more "strong father" and less "drug dealer" looking...if that makes any sense. Like I've mentioned a couple times before, I highly recommend looking at @crooky.v 's art on Instagram, since there are some pretty good humanized designs of the characters there.

As for impact on the channel, I think if the puppets stay, there will be people leaving no matter what. Having had plush Junior for over six years now, to suddenly go to...whatever on earth is going on now...will probably be too much to handle. Changing the designs a bit would probably keep some people around, but people would still leave.

If you have thoughts, let me know, since I'm curiour to see what people around here have to say. Hopefully Logan will listen, since from what I can tell his only reasons for changing the designs are "Oh well I can move the character's mouths now!" and "Well I can put them on merch now."

Oh, and don't start with the "Nintendo is finally after him!" garbage. No they aren't. They don't care. Believe me. If they did, they would have cared long ago (no latter than 2018), and they would have just taken down his channels immediately, no questions asked.
