Yet another Melvin redesign(Feedback Requested)

Alright, after doing some extensive thinking I'm considering redesigning Melvin again. Essentially I will be changing his species and several aspects of his physical appearance, This includes his bulu color, his ears, body type, and outfit. He'll still be a feline, but not a Lynx anymore. The reason why I feel this is necessary is because I worry he resembles Archie's desain for Lynxs a bit too much,


This also means Jason's species will be changed as well. As for Pomu, I may be considering retconning her as she doesn't really hold much relevance to the new series. I can't provide a example of what I intend for Melvin and Jason's designs right away as I haven't got a chance to begin work on it, but I shall get those done soon enough.


Any who, I would like some feedback from anda guys... For those familiar with the Melvin series, what else do anda think I should change about Melvin?
