Oh, I've never seen this variant doll before! Does it have a voice chip like the baby Spike variant?

Nope. It is just a dog-like Spike in which is really big and great for snuggling.

One of the downsides to this particular plush is how, without support, the neck will flop around as if poor Spike is being beheaded. :( So I've figured out ways to ensure he doesn't have to suffer from such a problem.

I'd actually prefer them without the voice-chips. So if your snuggling with one at night, they won't wake you up.

I do say, that scarf makes him look better actually.

I thought so, too. The scarf stayed while the diaper had to go. Interestingly enough, the diaper was actually a collection of about six to eight infant diapers all positioned, opened, and modified to make one that would work around his huge legs and tail. I felt pretty proud of the end result.

Now, if you had a stand size plush (More like 8" to 10" inches) one infant diaper would fit them perfectly. :)

That is awesome. Is there like a place you display it?

Well, if my wife wasn't against me diapering plush animals, there would be. So Spike was only padded while she was away as I dealt with employment and long term disability issues. The pictures are a reminder of what adorableness I had around to help keep my stress levels down and feel like I could care for something when so many other factors in my life are miles out of my control.

Glad to know you have similar things for dealing with stress. I have a tail that I haven't worn in forever (because I've not been having the terrible stuff that was once going on anymore). Perhaps you could get fake diapers. She might feel better about those.
