Human Ears on a Horse Girl? Uma Musume Creators Apologize for Plush Toy Design Error
We report on an amusing yet unfortunate incident involving the popular franchise Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. The manufacturer has issued an official apology and offered gifts as compensation for a design error in plush toys that ended up with human ears.
To clarify, the horse girls in this franchise do not possess human ears; their external hearing organs are distinctly horse ears located on the tops of their heads.
Recipients of these "bugged" plushies can receive compensatory gifts, either a complete replacement of the toy with a new one without the extra pair of ears, or return the problematic horse girl and receive a full refund.
