Halloween and Checkered Boris

Post by Cyaneus »

I love the Halloween Bori. I didn't originally like Boris when they were first released, but they've grown on me. I'd like to see the base color underneath the accessories. Checkered is a little too grey for my liking, I wish they'd upped the contrast a little.

Personally I think boris suffered through the revamp though as their claws more resemble hooves as well as other small problems, though I like the Halloween bori, especially the mask. I wonder if the back plates will be removable as well or if they are permanent. Maybe I am just being contrary, but I actually like the greyness of the checkered bori better than the more traditional black and white.

...Crud, I kinda want that Halloween Bori since I got bored of Royal Lupe. I really love the blend of black, red and white and that skull is really wicked.
Least it's not a boring halloween color.

*goes digging for NP*

EDIT: Oooh...it reminds me of my custom pet on Subeta.

And I agree that the bori suffered with the revamp... But they still don't look BAD bad. Just... eghh.

OMG!! I was praying for at least one good Bori colour today - and here it is! That Halloween Bori is AMAZING. I love the charcoal colour, matched with the bone white and dark blood red. The mask is simply awesome and I adore how they utilised the Bori's back plates.

I do wonder if any of it is removable though, I'd like to see what lies beneath. Though I don't think that the back plates would be, seeing as they are part of the Bori. I may need a Halloween Paint Brush.

I like checkered as well, it’s checkered without looking like a chess board (not that I have anything against chess – I’m just not very good at it). But I wouldn’t rush out and get one.

The Halloween Bori is great. I don't like the revamped Bori in general, but that's mostly because of the goofy smile, and that's hidden on this one. The bone is very neat, and I like the colors. If I had space for one of these guys, I'd get one.

My gosh, if only the Bori still looked the way it used to... It used to be my favourite pet, but the way it sits up and looks so flat, as well as the claws becoming hooves, has made it lose all the credentials it had in my book.

Checkered is checkered. Need I say more?

Halloween is a lovely concept especially with customisation presumably allowing the skull and armour to be mixed and matched. Halloween has a history of being pretty damn awesome, though.

Checkered is checkered, too grey for me

Very cool, that Halloween Bori.

The only decent thing that's come out of the customization/pet revamps thing is that the Halloween color has been improved immensely. Before, we were getting the standard same 6 or 7 variations (witch, devil, etc.) for this color, but now TNT seem to be actually taking the time to be creative. I only wish they'd do it with the other colors.

Bori's have always been in my top 5 Neopet species, and Halloween really just boost them! I adore this Halloween Bori, I might plan on labbing/painting a Bori in the near future, but I'll decide after Christmas because of Halloween (PB Inflation) and at Christmas I hope to get a Draik. C:

I really like the shell/thing on the back of this Bori it looks fantastic I like the colours of it too, I think it would have been better if it had glowing red eyes (no white) to make it more evil, and then if you take off the skull head it has the eyes it has now underneath with a normal face, but you can't have everything right! ^^ I like it a lot all the more.

Checkered, I like checks and this one disappoints me, the colours are too dark, lighten it up and I might like it ^^

It does look an awful lot like Spinal did, Armi. I'm glad they didn't go the obvious, easy, and distasteful route of making the Halloween bori merely a costumed pet. However, I do think it could have used a few more accessories. Perhaps some tail rings with little dangly skulls or bracelets, but mostly I think it could it use red glowing eyes. It's still much too cheerful.

I really like this Halloween Bori - especially as the mask hides the inane grin that has blighted the poor bugger since the Customisation revamp.

The Checkered is merely average - a little on the dark side overall, maybe, but that does at least mean it's nicely understated and doesn't leap out of the page with a harsh black-on-white effect.

I'm a strange one, and I like boris more now than I did pre-customization.

That said: Halloween is -awesome-. Really, really, freaking awesome. Awesome enough where I THINK i need to get one. I have no idea what to do with it, but I'll think of something. Cause... jesus, that's awesome.

Checkered is checkered, but nice enough for a checkered pet.

But Halloween = awesome.

Same here Jessi!

They looked flat before, kind of like they have been run over.
