I think it's cute, but the expression looks a little mean. Maybe if there was a way to make the face look friendlier. As most extroverts have a "I'll adopt you" vibe for introverts.

I feel like this design is really mean spirited (the evil expression, saying extroverts want to ‘drag’ people out of their shells) and made by someone who doesn’t like extroverted people and is generalising a bunch and that makes me sad

Why do they have an angry, evil face? That feels really mean. Also, not every extrovert likes to party. Some of us have sensory issues that stop us doing that. I love talking to people and hanging out just chatting but loud noises are scary

Like Hope’s comments above, the bunnies are supposed to be generalized. I myself am an extrovert and my daughter is an introvert. While I don’t always party, I’d be the someone to “paint the town red” Certainly not in a literal sense. To me the paint and the party hat signify the exuberance an extrovert has. Granted the scary smile looks more scary than devil may care, but how does it convey not caring about others? How do you make a stuffed bunny show that it cares about others? This design has nothing to do with others. Only to convey the generalization of extroverts. The same as the introvert bunny. Other than scary face on this one, i love it and will add to my growing collections

Although I do think the facial expression does seem a little mean or devious, I don’t really agree that anything else about this design implies that extroverts don’t care about others. I don’t understand how people are getting that from this. First of all, these plushies that are about psychology, mental illness, physical illness, or LGBTQ+ will ALWAYS be generalized. Because everyone is different even when they identify as the same thing or have the same condition. But it’s impossible to include everything that everyone feels so they always just go with what’s most common or well known about the subject. In my opinion, this design feels good for extroversion. Extroverts are more commonly seen out and about, less neurotic so less worried about what others think about them, more likely to bring others (introverts) out of their shells. The only iffy thing is the facial expression and it does kind of give an overall vibe of clown. But I absolutely don’t see anything about it that implies that extroverts don’t care about others. Not caring what others THINK about them is not the same as not caring about others.

Something about this one rubs me the wrong way… just because someone is an extrovert doesn't mean they're never concerned with what other people think about them. The angry-happy expression also gives off deviousness, which feels like it's reinforcing the stereotype that extroverts are just popular bullies? I agree with the other commenter saying that these personality types might be a bit hard to represent visually as not all extroverts/introverts share these broad common experiences. Also the clown hat & pin tail, while I understand are meant to give party vibes, feel to me like they're implying the extrovert is just seen as a clown (for entertainment only, always happy, shallow in character). This design feels almost… vindictive? I dunno, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But that's my 2 cents.

Not sure I care for these extrovert and introvert bunnies. They’re a little too generalized. The introvert bun seems sad while the extrovert bun explanation seems to not care about others’ feelings? Neither of these is the case. Also making the introvert a “writer” and the extrovert a “painter” is a bit too simplified as well. I’m an extroverted writer and definitely do my best expression through it. But painting the town red? Not my vibe. I just like to be out of the house having fun. I also am INCREDIBLY afraid of being “pinned” or seen the “wrong” way. Meanwhile most of my introvert friends are excellent artists but do not think highly of their writing skills.
I really don’t have any suggestions for how to revise the designs, these are just things that kinda rub me the wrong way about them. Maybe these personalities can’t be well represented in a physical/toy form because unlike most of these plushies, there are few ways to actually generalize the experiences. It’s not like the eczema bunny which was excellently generalized with textures and a wet wrap, because those are common experiences for most people with eczema. But there are NO “common” experiences for extroverts or introverts. Yeah, I think maybe extroversion and introversion are perhaps too complicated to represent most people. At best a small subset of introverts will identify with “sad writer bunny” and a small subset of extroverts will identify with “doesn’t care about other people party bunny.”
At best maybe loud colors or patterns and an exaggerated expression on the extrovert face and soft muted colors and a gentle (but still happy) expression on the introvert face would get the message across without stereotyping either personality type into specific hobbies?

Maybe the tail can be removed?

Le pinceau : n'est pas à poils longs ❌
Un a poils longs serait plus avantageux visuellement car la courbe est trop carré et souligne le mauvais caractère en association avec les yeux qui ont l'air « méchants »
Les yeux : il a l'air d'un sociopathe 😭👺
Mettons plutôt un clin d'oeil malicieux
Mieux vaut lui faire faire un 😜
La bouche : une langue 👅 tirée serait de mise selon moi avec un clin d'œil
Les couleurs.
Personnellement je déteste le orange et le rouge. J'ai des coups de coeur sur les doudou avec la colorimétrie du TTA en purple navi blue ect. Et faire des couleurs sur le pinceau à poils longs en bleu clair et rose ?
Malheureusement ce doudou m'agresse même pour une extravertie peut être que mon côté qui hais les clown ressurgit ? 🙏😅

I love both the extrovert and introvert buns! I have 3 little boys. My oldest is the extrovert. My middle boy is the introvert. My youngest….it must be too early to tell but if forced I’d have to say psychopath. Lol. Just kidding. The one thing I think should be apparent about each of these buns is that people sometimes assume being introverted means you are unhappy. Obviously I can’t speak for everyone but many don’t feel like they’re missing out. My son is completely content with skipping trick or treating to read a book or miss a party to stay home and binge a new show. On the flip side, my extrovert needs to be moving and going. Not only is he so fearless it scares me, he doesn’t care what people think or say. He enjoys simply that they say something. He is mischievous. The proverbial pot stirrer. He is the action and he lives for the reaction.
