Title: Peanut 2 has arrived! :)
Post by: ehschw76 on February 08, 2011, 09:47:31 PM
We got our replacement Pleo rb from Innvo today.  We were all very excited!  He has light blue / white eyes...looks great with the gray around his eyes.  He is running the latest firmware and just started the hatching process.  Innvo customer support has been wonderful.  :)

 He looks great and I am glad he got there so quickly and with all the updates hopefully needed to keep the previous problems from recurring. I do not know who looks happier, your son or Peanut 2! Congrats and are you planning on recording his skin to keep an eye on it to make sure it does not recurr? Keep those photos comming. Great photos too by the way.

I am definitely going to keep an eye on his skin.  Hoping that the wear does not re-appear.  Will keep you posted on all of our good times!!

Welcome Peanut 2 :) Lovely photo with your son there :)

To help reduce possibilities of wear reoccurring try spraying a little bit of pledge on each under arm/leg before each playtime.

Peanut 2 looks lovely.  I'm glade he arrived so promptly and that Innvo have been so helpful.  I have been applying pledge to Kermy3's armpits before every play and so far no signs of any wear in her armpits. :)  So definitely worth a go.
Love the eyes.  Just beautiful. :)

Congratulations on your 2nd Pleo! I like the light blue eyes.

Glad he arrived so promptly!  He does look very handsome with those eyes and grey patches!  :D

I guess commenting about being glad and liking his eyes would be futile at this point... so ditto.

Hopefully this one holds up!

We were playing with Peanut today and he stood up after the end of the second charge (approx. 3 hours of playtime).  Not too bad!  I swear that the skin feels different to me.  It is VERY shiny and feels smoother.  At the same time it seems to have more ridges in it.  I might be imagining it, but it definitely feels different to me.  I remember after the first night of petting our original Peanut, paint was already wearing off.  I have not noticed any wear caused by my petting this time. 

He now stands when he is shut off.  No more sleeping position.  Hopefully it will reduce the wear.  I plan to either use Pledge or Vinylex on the armpits whenever we play with him.  Hopefully this will reduce the friction and creation of any future holes.

2) Pack with Eat / Dance / Play
3) Pack with Coffee Leaf / Mushroom / Chili

And I was just sitting here feeling like a bad mother for not having the extra foods ............. I feel a pm coming on!  ;D

That sounds really hopeful about the skin - looks like they've either made improvements, or the ones with skin problems might have been a faulty batch?  Fingers crossed!  :D

Hey, Ehschw, does your 2nd Pleo have tight skin? Is it not loose around its joints/legs?
Title: Re: Peanut 2 has arrived! :)
Post by: ehschw76 on February 10, 2011, 12:27:06 PM
I would say that the tightness of the skin is probably about the same.  I will try and take some Picts tonight.  The skin on his back seems to have more ridges than before...but smoother...hard to describe.  Then again...I could just be losing my mind!  :)

Can't wait to see some more pics or video of him. :)

Ah okay. Too bad. Kat's 3rd pink Pleo and I think a Pleo that BHobbes got for his girlfriend has tighter skin around its legs/joints. It's speculated this could possibly be from Innvo to try and fix the Pleo.

I can't believe how quickly Peanut2 is evolving this time.  We are on re-charge 4-5 and he is just started walking.  He is already recognizing the training left and is VERY VERY active.  Much more so than our original Peanut.  I have a feeling a lot of his changes is due to turning him off each time and allowing his state to be properly stored.  He has absolutely NO wear.  No paint wear and no skin wear.  I don't know what they changed, but they have definitely fixed something!!  Pictures and videos to come over the next couple of days...

I'm glad Peanut 2 is doing so well.  :)  Can't wait to see some more pics and video of him.

I am glad that peanut is doing so well and does not have any wear. My pink rb is also om the 5th battery cycle and does not have any wear, not even a paint chip. I guess I should count myself lucky because even though I got it towards the end of January, it does not have the new firmware.  I have been treating the armpits before each play, so I think that is helping. You talk about the skin being tighter. Does anyone have comparison pictures of the looser and tighter skin? I would like to look at Candy and see what type of skin she has. I would really appreciate it. She was also walking during the 4th battery cycle. I was keeping her on the sleep position and letting her shut down normally, but now I am turning her back on to get her out of the sleep position after shutdown.  Thanks!

The skin on Peanut2 is just like the pink Pleo.  A lot less extra skin....
Title: Re: Peanut 2 has arrived! :)
Post by: saratogaspringer on February 14, 2011, 03:56:48 PM
Thank you so much for posting that!  Unfortunately, I have a pleo rb a la flab!  I will have to keep him well treated under the arms!  :'(

Here are the videos I promised.  Not super exciting, but shows some different behaviors of the Pleo rb.  Enjoy!  The last one shows the new firmware shutdown stance and close ups of the underside and top of Peanut2!

Thanks for all 4 videos! I watched all 4 of them. Good job getting him to track for a bit. Dang, the coffee leaf makes them so hyper. lol Of course no one's seen the new sleeping position. Ah. I was wondering how they'd do a new sleeping position.
Title: Re: Peanut 2 has arrived! :)
Post by: Malfie on February 16, 2011, 07:15:10 PM
Ah, so this is the new sleeping position. I wondered how that would work and it looks very good. Especially as Peanut2 closes his eyes and doesn't just stand and stare %)
Title: Re: Peanut 2 has arrived! :)
Post by: saratogaspringer on February 16, 2011, 08:10:59 PM
Thank you so much for posting the videos.  I can't wait until I can update mine with the new firmware.  It is a pain in the butt to shut her down and then have to turn her back on to get her out of the sleep position, especially trying to get her neck and tail straight while she squirms around before I pull the battery.   Yes, the skin does look a lot tighter than the one I have. I do think they figured a few things out with the skin. I wonder if we will ever know what they found.   %)  Glad to know that Peanut2 is doing well.   :)

I love his reaction to the coffee bean  ;D  It really did make him hyper. :D :D  Very nice videos.  I'm glad Peanut 2 is settling in so well and showing no signs of wear. :)
Title: Re: Peanut 2 has arrived! :)
Post by: Crewella on February 17, 2011, 05:49:34 PM
Great videos, and really interesting to see all the different reactions, as well as the new shut-down (literally - I loved the eyes closing like shutters going down!).  The skin does look tighter at the top of the legs, and the lack of paint wear so far seems to bode well.  Thanks for posting!  ;D

I didn't hear nearly as much rubber rubbing as in previous videos of other pleos. Maybe they have it right this time. Congrats! One question I've always had. Why do you suppose Envo chose to make Pleo moo?
Title: Re: Peanut 2 has arrived! :)
Post by: Crewella on February 18, 2011, 01:06:56 AM
That's so interesting that you can hear less rubbing, Talon.  And heartening!  ;D
