A friend of mine, Blu, has started customizing Shelbys (from Furbys to Shelbys :-D).  Blu was one of the first to customize a Furby (she is the originator of fanged Furbys, demon eyed Furbys and Hippy Furbys.  She has inspired a lot of people into doing their own remakes) and now the first to customize a Shelby!  Look at the pics below and the steps on how to make your own Shelby like this :-)

How to Customize a Shelby

Pick stickers and glitters that compliment the shell of your Shelby. You also need a clear glaze that goes over plastic. I used Judikins Diamond Glaze and a soft brush.  Its very easy!  Apply stickers in an attractive pattern, use as many or as few as you like, its up to you! Apply glaze to shell section by section with the brush, sprinkle glitters while glaze is wet. Work in sections, glaze dries fast. *Careful to only get glaze on the shell, not on any other parts, not inside it, be careful around mane and brow. Let first layer of glaze dry, then apply a second layer over the entire shell, sealing in the stickers and glitters and making a smooth finish. The glaze will protect the stickers from peeling and keep the glitter in place. Then, take a picture of your creation and email it to this site so we can post it and show it off! Have fun!

Note: do this only if it won't bother you if your Shelby malfunctions and Tiger replaces it instead of repairing it.

Blu has done similar things with Furby!  Come see the web site with all her Furby Creations!
