While I agree they do need to try more expensive props, you can't be unrealistic about what they have to spend on these clips.

Wrong, the
most expensive prosthetics I linked them to were $60 + shipping. What they are using would be closer to budget buy/dollar store make-up. I'm not being unrealistic and expecting AWIL make-up running in the thousands, but spending under $100 for a couple decent foam latex prosthetics would be 10 steps ahead of the bargain bin crap they're using now. It's a matter of taking some pride when what's being put out, considering there are people willing to pay for the video, give them something better than $5 plastic noses, head band ears, and pathetic paint jobs.
For example, from
http://www.northfur.ca/shop/ I put together a quick list as though all supplies are needed
Pre-Painted Cat Nose prosthetic with whiskers = $34.78
factor in lets say a Half oz bottle of prosthetic adhesive = $9.82
Latex to blend edges = $6.73
Quality 12 color Hydrocolor Makeup = $34.85
Latex Cat Ear Application = $17.17
Standard 1-2 week shipping = $11.60
Total = $114.95
QUALITY prosthetics and supplies for under $200
Now they have adhesive, latex for blending edges, and paint for future use. All they would need is the prosthetics for a different animal. They would be taking a giant step forward in quality, which I'm sure would motivate people to buy more
This is not $1000-$2000 budget for quality makeup... before you attempt to argue about makeup, do some research on the topic and figure it for yourself.
