Shampoodle... Wut.

I just found this on Twitter. Some actress was saying she hadn't been so excited since she was promised the pictured "Shampoodle" in 1994.
Has anyone seen this before?? It looks just like Harriet! If this was a real toy in the 90s, did Nintendo get the idea for Shampoodle from this? There's no way they didn't! xP

I have never seen or heard about this Shampoodle. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo were inspired by this or copied this because look at Velma the goat she looks like Velma from Scooby Doo. Really interesting though.

Some say that Nintendo did base it of Hasbro's Shampoodle toy

Yeah I remember that toy coming out when I was a kid, I never had it myself though. I had forgotten it til I saw this. It does look like Harriet.

I had never seen it before, I just thought it was weird that I randomly saw it on Twitter and someone wasn't relating it to Animal Crossing.

I remember how strange looking the toy was, but I could see Ninty taking a cue from it.
