Some characters are in need for a redesign.

[Christopher]

Some of the characters in SuperTuxKart are starting to show their age, and I think it's time to updates them.
 
Nolok, Puffy, Pidgin, and Suzanne still have the outdated bodies from the 0.7.0 era, even though their karts have been updated. Their bodies should be more graphical and animated to match the other modern characters. In Suzanne's case, her kart needs redesigning.
 
Wilber, Hexley and Tux gust need a little polishing and face fixing to match the modern standards. As for Xue, she requires texture smoothing on both her body and kart.

Most of all, Amanda and Gavroche are in most need of remaking. Their models lack textures, lacks facial depth (flat faced), and very minimal animation. A full remake would be great in making them feel alive and part of the modern STK roster.

Please add some love to these characters and make the game more fun and alive.

Puffy since its appearance in 0.6.x, HAS NOT HAD CHANGES IN THE BODY MODEL, you are very right, just look at it

Yes, we are aware that some character models are lacking in quality or animation, and karts such as Nolok, Puffy, Amanda or Gavroche are examples in this regard. Improving the quality of karts to raise the standard across official STK karts is part of our goals for the next major release.

When it comes to the model, Puffy's last major upgrade was for 0.6.1, for Nolok and Pidgin it was in 0.6.2. If you compare directly the latest versions and how the karts looked in those older versions, you can notice a number of iterative improvements that together make some difference (especially as a kart is not just about the 3D model), but the designs certainly feel dated.

Nolok, Puffy, Pidgin, Suzanne, Amanda and Gavroche are all in desperate need for a redesign.

I think we should also have all the new icons finished, that would be pretty nice too.

Hexley looked better in his original design.
