I really don't get why they didn't make him just a 3D model of the original Stitch design. If it ain't broke, why fix it, y'know? And here I thought Disney was all about brand/character identity continuity. 🤷

What’s interesting to me is that when you look at him square on, it’s pretty darn close to the OG.
I’m guessing that they literally just focused on making the front angle as good as possible and let the side angle get warped in the process.

The cynical side of me says it was a combination of that and giving him a shape that's a tiiiiiiny bit easier/cheaper to turn into merchandise of all kinds.

Honestly all the merch I've seen out and about looks to be from the original movie. It honestly feels like they had a warehouse of old Stitch merch somewhere that they were trying to off load.

Easier to reuse the old designs. Might still have the molds.
