Bete Noire's UNder the Bed! ability

[Omenbringer]

Looking for clarification on Bete Noire's Under the Bed! ability. When she uses this and is placed back in the Toy Box does she lose any Rips and counters she has or do they stay on her?

Copy and pasting from the online rules:

"There are Effects that cause a Puppet or Upgrade to be placed into the Toy Box from its current location. When a Puppet or Upgrade is placed into the Toy Box, immediately remove all Effects, Rips, and Counters and place the Stat Card and associated miniature into the Toy Box. Puppets and Upgrades always return to the Toy Box of the player who originally selected them at the start of the game."

Are upgrades considered effects? Would Bete lose any upgrades attached to her when she uses her Under the bed ability?

[AcesOfBooks]

My understanding is she loses all good and bad things and goes back to the default card like she is at the beginning of the game. Rips upgrades counters the whole lot.

Further quoting the online rules:

"When a Puppet is placed into a Toy Box from play, Tear Apart all of its Attached Upgrades."

Note: When an upgrade is torn apart, it goes to the scrap heap, it is not removed from play.

"When an effect specifically Tears Apart an Upgrade do the following:

1. Remove the Stat Card for the Upgrade from under the Puppet it is Attached to and place the Card in the Scrap Heap of the player who originally selected that Stat Card for his or her Toy Box, Upgrade Side up.
   
2. Place the miniature shown on the Puppet Side of that Upgrade into the Scrap Heap"

Thanks Lalo, I figured that was how it worked, nice to get confirmation.
