In 2012 with the launch of the new Littlest Pet Shop cartoon series LPS toys saw an extreme redesign that caused an awful lot of outrage from collectors which spawned the hashtag #BringBackTheOldLPS !
Fast forward to January 2024 with Basic Fun relaunching the titular plastic toys, I thought now more than ever would be the perfect time to revisit this controversy but also look at it from a retrospective lens.
I'm a HUGE fan of LPS as you can tell from my previous videos talking about them but they are very sentimental for me because LPS are partly why I started even began making videos of my own on YouTube. This relaunch has been a bit disappointing but nevertheless really cool to see them finally back after all these years.
