the vintage versions of TY stuffies are a million times cuter, thoughts?

so I have a vintage snowfort plush and always thought he was the cutest stuffie to ever exist in the world, after collecting the newer versions of the beanie babies, I've come to accept that the older versions with more realistic proportions and the little black eyes are so much cuter. the oversized heads and glittery eyes look more uncanny and just... too much, at least in my opinion.

what are your thoughts? do you like the newer versions of the beanie babies or the older versions that looked less vibrant and more realistic?
