informational but devolves into marketing speak

This article starts off being informative, but rapidly devolves into marketing speak by the end. Especially the section named "Newest Pets Of The Zhuniverse". I'd be inclined to remove it fully. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eyegor (talk • contribs) 17:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An editor recently did a pretty massive expansion that was questionable in several ways (WP:NOT and odd use of capitalization, as well as the tone issues you mentioned.)[1] I contacted him on his talk page, but have as of yet received no response. I would say it's pretty safe to remove this material awaiting cleanup or his return to sort it out. Siawase (talk) 23:37, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have cleaned up and summarized the long-winded overly detailed material. For editors who wish to document all the Zhu Zhu Pets and their names, I would suggest doing that on the dedicated wiki at http://zhuzhupets.wikia.com instead of Wikipedia.

Structure

I reverted the article back to the previous structure where the various releases are discussed chronologically under the "History" header. I would suggest if we are to have a separate header for the movie that it would be better to create a separate "Film" section and list the movie there, rather than attempt to break up the prose we already have into some half-measure bulleted prose form. I wouldn't be averse to also creating a separate list of the video games, but let's keep the chronological prose form history intact. Siawase (talk) 20:14, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change the Pipsqueak photo

Can we change the Pipsqueak photo? This photo bugs me a lot! We can either:

A. Use Lucky's Photo

B. Let me take a Zhu Zhu group picture

C. Let me take a picture of just Pipsqueak

Or..

D. Don't use a photo at all?* Does anybody want these suggestions? Tell me by putting a comment (It will look just like "NathanRCorp3, I want B. Do you?" Or, something like that, but in your own words.). Thanks, NathanRCorp3 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:51, 18 October 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Keep the picture we do have for now, it's way better than nothing. But I'd prefer to use a group picture too. The easiest way would be to find one at one of the official sites, but if you want to take a picture and release it under a free license, that would be fine too. Either way I can help to fix the proper license tags etc. Siawase (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TV Show

Can I see the proof for the TV show which should release this year? I thought that the brand "Zhu Zhu Pets" is discontinued. --2A02:908:4C1:8700:D1E2:66C5:CE8C:4D43 (talk) 17:03, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
