Line #7 YMMV/LittlestPetShop


1	* FriendlyFandoms:
2	** ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' fans tend to get along with ''Littlest Pet Shop'' fans, probably since both toylines focus on cute animals and are produced by Creator/{{Hasbro}}.
3	** ''Toys/PuppyInMyPocket'' fans as well, both from and not from [[WesternAnimation/PuppyInMyPocketAdventuresInPocketville the show]], as both toylines, again, include cute collectible pets.
4	* MemeticMutation:
5	** [[GoshDangItToHeck "What the tail" and]] [[HoldYourHippogriffs "Oh my dog!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Interjections that use words related to animals, popularized by ''WebVideo/LPSPopular''. [[/labelnote]]
6	** Jesus dog/Yeshund [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originates from [[https://www.reddit.com/r/LittlestPetShop/comments/14hfw0c/does_anyone_else_think_this_dog_kind_of_looks/ a Reddit post]] where somebody asked if anyone else thought a dachshund toy with markings on its head that resemble a cross looked like Jesus. Consensus was that the dog ''does'', resulting in it earning the nickname of "Jesus dog" and "Yeshund" (the latter a portmanteau of "Yeshua" and "dachshund") and jokes that this is who the exclamations of "Oh my dog!" in ''LPS: Popular'' refer to.[[/labelnote]]
7	*** As many fans often see this pet as female, some fans have given it the name "Jessica" to reference this meme.
8	* MemeticPersonalityChange: Chihuahua #1 is often referred to as TheStoner due to its unusual and unique head design, which has bulging, half-squinted eyes with pale purple sclera.
9	* MemeticPsychopath:
10	** Thanks to ''WebVideo/LPSPopular'', Shorthair Cat #339 is often depicted as being an AlphaBitch.
11	** Although Blythe is known to be a caring pet-sitter, [[RonTheDeathEater she's often seen by fans as someone who enslaves her pets]] due to some previous media depicting the pets as sapient and the fact some Blythe sets came with leashes for the pets.
12	** LPS Chihuahua #219 is often depicted as being homophobic thanks to a controversial video over a "Christian" [=LPSTuber=] reacting to LGBTQ+-related content made with LPS, which uses this pet.
13	* RonTheDeathEater: Due to her role as a human pet sitter contradicting previous LPS media that showed the setting as a world of {{Civilized Animal}}s, Blythe is hated by fans to the point that she's often portrayed in fan material as someone who enslaves pets or sometimes even ''murders'' them. In canon, she's a responsible, [[AnimalLover animal-loving]] pet sitter.
14	* TheScrappy: The Blythe dolls released as part of the "Blythe Loves Littlest Pet Shop" subline are loathed by the fanbase due to intruding into their idea of what the brand's setting should be. Prior to that point, the setting of ''Littlest Pet Shop'' was often depicted by official media and considered by many fans to be a world that only contained tiny {{Civilized Animal}}s, with the "pet shop" aspect being a metaphor comparing the world's vast amount of pets to a pet shop. The introduction of Blythe, who's both [[TokenHuman a human]] and intended to be a pet sitter, disrupted that concept. On the other hand, the version of Blythe from the [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 2012 show]] is viewed more neutrally, as that iteration of the franchise is specifically designed around a pet shop in a human society.
15	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
16	** Some fans have disliked various changes made to the toyline in the later years of the pre-''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' era, such as introducing pets with less realistic color schemes, getting rid of the embedded magnets in favor of holes to fit pegs in playsets, using printed-on eyes instead of painted ones, incorporating the human character Blythe, and even motorized pets called Walkables.
17	** The pets released to tie in with ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' were not very popular amongst fans and collectors due to lacking bobble heads and having more stylized proportions, which in some cases resulted in top-heavy pets that couldn't stand up on their own. The short-lived "Bobble in Style" line was released following several fan complaints to Hasbro, which reused older pet molds.
18	** While the excessive stylization that produced stability issues was toned back for generation 5, fans still dislike that the pets use a different kind of plastic than older toys, sport a wide variety of expressions that make it harder to imagine unique personalities for the pets, and have several tiny holes molded in to insert small pieces called Deco Bits. While the old molds weren't reused again, subsequent iterations of the toyline use designs that more closely resemble the toys from the peak of the brand's popularity and reduced the overall amount and prominent of Deco Bit holes before eventually dropping the concept.
19	** A frequent source of contention about the first wave of G7 pets is that despite pre-launch promotional material hyping up a return to the second generation's aesthetics, there's a distinct lack of G2's signature eye symbol-based personality marks, the symbols instead being present in the form of body markings. While this would be understandable if G7 fully committed to having body personality marks to establish its own identity, a handful of pets have eye symbols in addition to the body symbols. Since one of said pets is also the generation's mascot and the first pet in the relaunch to have been seen by the public, this created an expectation for more pets to have eye symbols. A further topic of debate is a lack of consistency with the symbols' presentation; some blend in with the pet's other markings, while others have been unfavorably compared to [[Franchise/MyLittlePony cutie marks]] due to standing out too much, such as [[https://lpsmerch.com/g7/details/g7lpsbfs1p60/ this Pomeranian]] with a single cream-colored lightning bolt next to its eye that sticks out against its dark brown body.
20	* ViewerSpeciesConfusion:
21	** The inchworms/caterpillars are often confused with crickets, especially with the bigger [=LPSTubers=] calling them as such. One example is Mimi/Gigi from ''WebVideo/LPSPopular'' being referred to as one.
22	** The centipedes are often mistaken as caterpillars.
