Fact is, Topsi's is generally disliked by Neopians. Personally ...I see Topsi as mildly unattractive, esp. considering the species he's based on, though I cannot say I despise Topsi or anything.

Anyway, I decided to redesign Topsi. At first, I was going to draw Topsi 'Ferret style', but after reading this link from the above link,

Anyway... I drew a baby cybunny head, and reshaped the body using a Bellflower bunny as inspiration.
I removed Topsi's shirt and shoes, and gave him ears resembling those of Miss Ice Cream (because I can).
