Not sure when exactly this happened, but the updated thumbnail for my Paper Clip hat is squished.
Item Link: A Paper Clip - Roblox
The Paper Clip used to look like this.
Looks the same on avatars as how the thumbnail currently presents it. Wonder what caused it?
I’m speculating miniscule UGC accessories may be getting retroactively upscaled to match a minimum size, if one was recently set.
This is basically what happened here, but this actually happened years ago when we migrated Accessories from SpecialMesh to MeshParts. The SpecialMesh version is still used for R6 avatars, and up until recently was also the version used in thumbnails.
The MeshPart version of the Accessory was increased in size to fit the old part minimum size limit inadvertently when this migration occurred. Minimum part size was reduced in 2021 so to fix this issue we just needed to create a new MeshPart version of the Accessory, which we just uploaded today.
So this issue should be fixed now, the thumbnail may take a day to look correct again due to caching.
Never got any reports that the Paper Clip was squished in-game, but that might be from it’s niche use as more of an easter egg. Thank you for restoring the iconic Paper Clip to its original size!
It looks like the thumbnail hasn’t updated over the past few days, is it still waiting on the cached version to clear out?
I’m currently seeing the corrected thumbnail on the website.
Do you mind trying clearing your browser cache? The new thumbnail should be showing now.

Ah, it’s good now! At the time of my reply I did both a hard reload on the page and checked in Catalog Avatar Creator to make sure the issue wasn’t on my end, and it was still warped. Either way ya got it all fixed now, thank you so much!!
