## Issues

* The eye shines that are painted or printed onto the black plastic eyes sometimes get scratched or worn off entirely based on how roughly the beanie plush is handled or played with. They can easily be repainted with white glass paint, which has been found to be the best paint for durability and adhering to the button's surface.
* Many beanie plush include parts that appear to be made of a heat-transferred material that is susceptible to cracking. The issue is not widely common, but it does happen sometimes with beanies in used condition. This type of material is used for Upamon's mouth.
* The fabric pieces that make up the ears can separate over time. While those parts are almost always additionally sewn on and are not at risk of falling off, a small dot of glue could help join those pieces back together if desiredAn example of the ear fabric separating on an Upamon Digi-Pals beanie plush.
