I got these on sale because they're very cute, and it felt like I could finally justify the purchase. The first set of these I got, I had a really tough time opening them up, but I was eventually able to do so. However, I noticed a massive crack running through the bottom of Frumpkin that nearly split the whole bottom in half. Contacted support, and they kindly sent me another set. I just got the second set today, and I'm still very unhappy. They are still very difficult to pull apart, and this time, Mister has a crack in the top, though a smaller one than Frumpkin had, but still about 1 inch long. I then got to Frumpkin, and Frumpkin seems to be entirely fused together. I can't get it apart at all and tried for about 15 minutes straight, turning my hands all red with the effort. I'm afraid to try anything more drastic to get it apart. Looking at Frumpkin, there are places around the seam where it looks like it might almost be fused together by paint, but it's hard to tell. Regardless, I can't get it open, and I don't want to hurt myself or break it. Very disappointed in the quality of these. I guess it's a good thing I got them on sale. =/
