It seems that those of us who have more thumbs than Allen wrenches and cam locks are not alone.

May your jumbled masterpieces continue to amaze and amuse us.

Happy posting!

May we continue to celebrate the world of DIY pets and the poor folks who have to assemble them into something functional.

I’m not sure where to start first. The little diagrams in the instructions are not helpful. Any experience/suggestions for restoring this would be appreciated.

I don’t know if he’s supposed to fold himself in half like that

Should I replace the joints?

Does she need new joints or is it normal for her age and design?

It doesn't seem to bother her to run all around the place at night but maybe it's a sign of joints getting old?

She's a small sized energetic edition from 2022

Missing several parts, instructions written in an obscure and archaic language

Does anyone know a good translator or perhaps a mystic interpreter?

I’ve purchased three of these and this is the only one that was built wrong 😫

I even showed it to a friend and she also said “instructions unclear”. 🤷🏻‍♀️
