Ghost is not too bad but Striped is... wow. It's nothing like any other Stiped pet, and this is all to the good. It's simply amazing!

It's a chipmunk! I don't like Meercas, but if I had to get one Striped would definitely be my choice.

It looks like a chipmunk! It's a meerca that I actually like! I never thought that would happen.

I'm glad there's at least one pet artist left who can think outside the box. I wonder if this is the same artist responsible for the spotted lupe.

Wow, Striped is wonderful! I can't believe I actually like a Meerca, but I finally do. I may just have to get it. It's adorable.

Ghost is boring.

One thing I've always hated about TNT is how they chose a color scheme for each brush and rarely if ever deviate from it. Look at what happens when they do! It doesn't happen often enough, though they've gotten better about it. There are so many pets that I wish they would go back and customize a little more. Like Faerie for instance. Some of the Faerie pets (Aisha, Acara, Lupe,etc.) are just blue/yellow/red/green pets with wings tacked on.

Aww, neat idea. I don't like Meercas, but I wish more colours were this original.

Ghost is ghost. I normally like ghost, but for meercas, it's just plain boring.

But striped is FLIPPING ADORABLE. I love it and I want one right now.

I seriously thought we already had a Ghost Meerca. Really. Hmm. I guess I'm crazy! :P It's... boring, but most ghost pets are.

Striped is very cute! Good job, artist!

Wow. That's the only striped tp break the blue+pink mould and it's gorgeous. *fights the urge to get one*

Ghost has a nice jagged ghost aura, but the facial expression is blah.

Ghost is pretty meh. I thought it already existed too.

But Striped, oh man...Good thinking on the artist's part. This is very unique. I didn't expect this. I don't like Meercas at all, but this is great for Meerca lovers.

I like ghost,because it reminds of the NQII Ghostly Meercas.

I wouldn't get a striped one, though. It's cool, but nothing I'd own.

Iggy, I thought of NQII ghosts too! I like Ghost in that it doesn't have a stupid grin but actually has a properly ghostly expression. The eyes are a little odd - they don't have a dark outline so they look a little...bleedy? Might just be me.

Striped is adorable! I love chipmunks (my nursery school had a pair called Rosie and Jim) and this actually makes this the only Meerca I'd ever own, apart from a UC Faerie one. Interesting that they're breaking the trend of striped pets which hasn't been done before - even other pets that would benefit from a different stripeyness like the Kougra have just been given the pink and blue treatment.

I love Striped! What a good idea, it's nice to actually see some thought go into a pet. I want one, which is something I never thought I'd say about a Meerca. I've bought a paint brush in preparation :D

Lol, I wonder if striped is going to wildly inflate like spotted.

I love both! I really wanted a ghost meerca, so I am pleased with it. I am glad they gave it a new expression and didn't leave it happy looking. Striped is adorable and would looking AMAZING in a derby which happens to be how I judge how much I like meerca colours.

I'm going to be a little conflicted as to what colour I want to paint Elmhet now.

I hope striped doesn't crazy inflate =/. Spotted has somewhat recovered now, and fortunately striped was buyable a few days ago. (Then again, maybe spotted was as well).

At the moment it seems to be around 200,000np, but only one is priced on the TP. I am hoping most people are remembering the spotted price hike and are buying striped in preparation and that in a few weeks no-one will care. Lupes were real popular before the colour came out, whereas meercas have always sucked :P.
