They look absolutely adorable! I love the new fluff that was added onto them!
The only thing i would be worried about is that the male does look a bit on the thin side! Right around where his hind legs are.
Hope this is helpful! Otherwise, everything seems perfect!

I agree, I'd love to see the male puffs with a more pleasing expression.
Like I said in my post I like the stoic look, but it just doesn't fit with the rest of them(the female and the babies).
I do think that a mischievous, playful, determined, sly, or other expression may be better suited to match the general look/expression that the babies and the female have.

Something about the puffs as a whole looks.. awkward.. to me. I really love how tiny and sleek the puffs are right now, but these puffs come off slightly clumsy. I can't really put my finger on any single thing, I think the problem here is several very small details. Overall, the concept is great and super adorable, but I will try to list some minor things that could improve their look:
-adult male looks annoyed, current male looks more regal/haughty
-adult females head/chest look too big in comparison to backside
-bridge of the adult female's nose looks like it curves more than the male's, BUT that could just be the angle
-their feet look ok, but as above people have said, the more streamlined/dainty version would look better
-personally, i liked the short, stocky bodies on the old puffs. The bodies on these look more like skinny baby nixis. Their muzzles also were shorter/less pointed, again, these are much more like nixis.
-babies have way too much linework on the ear fluff
-general fluff placement (the little ones inside) near the tops of the babies' tails look off. Like the adults' fluffs seem to be follwing where the tail bone would be, while the babies' only do that on the bottom.
-maybe a little less going on around the adult's faces would help, I like how the fluff right now is mostly shading, so maybe more of the shade-fluff and slightly less line-fluff would help
-ear placement on all except the adult female seem off? like the farther ears look like they should not be showing that much of the back, especially on the babies
-not sure if this is intended: the baby boy's whisker things are much longer than the girl
^^" sorry about all the complaints, again these are only small details that bother me.

OMG.... SU FLUFFY!!!
Ok enough of that... Although I really love the new design there is minor criticism to come. x3
I agree that the children look to much like adolescent. :\
I think that maybe to improve this you could make them look a bit thicker or chubby and more short. dim down the size of the ears and maybe have them folded a tad? And I think the tails are a bit too big for there size at that age. Could shorten it. And a bit too much fluff. Needs to be dimmed down a bit too. XD
Yeah... These will need a bit more improvement before finalization in my opinion and I am pretty sure you guys are already on that. ;)
How do you even do these so fast with so much on your hands already?! Megazone, Nyvene revamp (Still loves it!), Summer Festival and now the Fall festival. How do you fit Puffadore in all that??!!
You guys scare me.... o-o

I'm not super fond of their cheek tufts, but I believe it's because they look very 2D and ribbon-like, which will most likely be solved once the artist adds shading. :)

" I get that many people love them girly girly girl pets, but some of us really prefer the girls to look as fierce and cool as the guys are or be at least on the same page as the guys are in their pose and demeanor even if their body shapes are a bit smaller/bigger depending on the specie."
Fai has said in the past that the "girly girl" art is deliberate as it's how they like the female species in Sylestia, with the long eyelashes and such. It's not an oversight but a style choice, they're not going for realism but how they see the species in their own world :)

My own thoughts on the Puff -
Overall, very excited for this redesign! This was one I was a little worried about, I'll be honest, but I'm feeling excited about it all now!
I'm really enjoying the adult female, though agree with other posters who feel there's a bit of a disparity in head size between the sexes. Perhaps the adult male head could be made larger for proportions sake?
The babies I have a few more issues with, the female seems a little like it's just the adult female head at an angle, her head seems too large or perhaps just too well-defined and lacking the baby softness.
The hatchling male.. I'm just not sure what it is, perhaps definition around the face? I'm getting a somewhat Gremlins-esque vibe and while that's not a bad thing by any means it doesn't seem to fit with the other three. Hopefully someone with a bit more art vocabulary will be able to put their finger on what it is about the face/head that seems a little off to me, but maybe it's just the lack of colour/shading :)

I hope you don't mind that I made a picture to help show what I'm about to explain. (You can click it for a bigger version.)
All:
I feel like the puffs at the sides of their faces are too big, making their heads look gigantic. I tried to make the fur end where the muzzle ends. Also, I feel the chest fur is quite large, and it looks like it just suddenly puffs up? (Hopefully you will understand what I mean by the picture.)
While the paws do look fine how they are, you could try to make it a bit smaller to satisfy the players who liked the smaller paws.
I also feel like the hair is too close to their heads. Maybe you could move it up a bit more?
Male Adult:
This is just an opinion, but I feel he should have a bit more expression added to his face. Make him look happier, sadder, more angry, etc.
His ears (specifically his right (our left) ear) look a bit low.
I think his legs should be pushed backwards a bit. He looks unbalanced, and the front paw on his right (or our left.) looks broken.
Female Adult:
The main thing about her is her head needs to be smaller.
You could also give her a buffer (larger?) muzzle, and bring her legs up too.
Hatchling (Both of them have the same problems):
Their ears look like they are already fully grown, although the rest of their body is not.
I'm not sure if this is how they work or not, but the Hatchling's tails are shaped differently than their fully grown version. While, again, they are smaller-and so their tails are smaller/shorter-I feel like they are bending the wrong way. The adult's tails are curled towards them, while the hatchling's are curled away from them.
While I might not be as professional as the artist who made these, I hope that I was able to help in some way.

Very nice. The male looks mean, is that on purpose? The male could use a little beefing up. When I first looked at them I couldn't tell which was the male. Give him a few muscles somewhere lol. Otherwise it's great!
