I love the Royalboy, but i think the Royalgirl is bbluergh.
They don't really match each other . . . i cant quite put my finger on why though.

Greek mythology? Really? ..

I don't like either of them. Clothing looks ridiculous on Kikos >.< I kinda like the lightning bolt and staff.. but that's about it.
The pink wig looks odd with the clothing on the female. o.o

Well I don't think it's very fair how epic the Royalboy looks. And he holds a Lightning Bolt?!

The female looks more like a maiden than Royalty, but the clothing is almost equally well done...And even she gets a held object.

No complaints here, except, once again, these aren't very popular as a species to begin with.

You mean 1.75 Mill. Don't give them ideas!
Though Royal *should* be the most expensive of all the brushes. I mean, it's ROYAL, for crying out loud. Why should it cost 9 times as much to make your pet into a filthy sea-scoundrel...

The eyes seem to be bugging out beneath all that heaving clothing. It's just...eww. One's supposed to be like Altadorian, but the other looks too much like a faerie princess. The different shade of pink hair against a different pink body is really annoying and overwhelming with that colour.

Staff and lightning bolt are cool though. I get what the artist was going for, but I think there's too much hair on the male, and the female is just bleh for reasons stated above.

I wanted the Faerie Eyrie. So fluffy and adorable. Anatomy may have sucked, but it was better than the stiff ones we have now.

How exactly do you suggest royal kikos could have been good even with a repose? It's a ball with flippers and a plaster. You can neither particularly repose it or anthropomorphise it.

Given those constraints the royalboy is pretty cool. Royalgirl is.. meh. I think the dress just doesn't work. And it's too pretty-princessy. I love the boy's lightning bolt!

I do like the concept, especially the lightning bolt on the Royalboy, but I just can't get over the creepy boggling eyes/general fugliness of the species :/

The royalgirl kiko is a little "meh", but I've never seen a picture of Hera (the wife of Zeus) that made her look epic.

an example of Hera here

I suppose not making her pink-ish/fuchsia would have helped her look more like a queen.

Uh, what? Royal brushes are 1.75 million in the Hidden Tower, and a bit less than that on the trading post.

I actually like both of these - but then again, I've always had a soft spot for the silly ickle blobs. I like her . . . well, whatever they call what she's wearing, as well as her staff. And like everyone else, I love his lightning bolt. ♥♥♥

If the Kiko is floating, why doesn't their clothing hang down? It should. Instead of, also, magically floating.

Looks like whoever did the kiko day outfits got the memo about clothes hanging down:

I like both of these sets more than I like the new royals, although the male isn't bad. I love the lightning bolt.

Weird. That girl kiko looks like a much better match to the royalboy. My feelings on Royal as a color have lowered since customization. But, lightning bolts are always pretty cool.
