I rather like the antlers. I think the headband is there to distinguish them from antlers you get when painting your pet Christmas.

Can't win them all.

They don't look horrible on Mokoxo... probably because his base color is brown. He does look a bit top-heavy, though; like the weight of those things should send him falling face-forward at a given moment.

Having the ears hang over the antlers looks really odd to me, even though I know there was no way around it.

It doesn't look so bad on Eyries, probably because the bulk of the headband is behind the ears and out of sight. If there was any possible reason I would want my Eyrie to have antlers, that is.

I put them on my cybunny so she could be a jackalope, but the band covered her eyebrows and she ended up looking more like Whoopi Goldberg.

Poor neglected Neopets advent calender.

Yesterday, there was a nutcracker! My family collects nutcrackers so having a virtual version is really cool. :3 I want an army.

Nomnomnom!

Oh, but the nuts? I´m sorry, but I don´t know of any peanuts that look like that. o.O

Today was pretty boring, but I like the kougra on the book. He´s cute.

They look more like brazil nuts, although you can begin to see the suggestion of them continuing in a peanuty manner.

I'm reminded of Simba, I think it's after he eats a bug.

I'm sorry to say you've forced my hand. This is exactly what I said when the Kougra revamp came around:

I'm not excited about the prizes today, but I thought the animation was REALLY cute. :-) (I never did get the hang of that game.)

Does anyone know why some people are given green apples from the AC? I got two on Christmas day instead of the normal gifts and then again for today's prize. From what I gather on some board posts this has been going on since the 22nd and happens to random people. I thought that if it were a glitch it would have been fixed by now?

I actually thought up until yesterday that everyone got green apples on Christmas. :|

First of all, the animation today? Totally thought that was a Spectrum Ogrin at first. XD

Here's the background:

The AC animation makes me sad because if the Rainbow Ogrins actually looked like that, I'd have one in a heartbeat.

Also, is it just me, or does the Holiday Home Background look kind of blurry on userlookups? :(

ETA: I have no idea what's going on with the green apples, but I feel really bad for the people caught up in the glitch, especially since TNT probably won't reimburse them. :?

Ok, not to bitch and moan ...

*bitches*

*moans*

... but it would have been great to have gotten that background during the first week of the advent calendar. You know, before Christmas was past. :P

All the seasonal wearables do look cute on my Christmas Blumaroo, though. :D

Actually, your friendly neighbourhood RD has an idea (with all her 42 months of insignificant experience).

Do you remember how, a few years ago, lots of people went to the AC and got broken images marked "new"? (One of mine, to my delight, turned into my Ruki's Snicklebeast, Saskia. She still pulls a face if you mention broken images.) Now, as far as I can tell, that hasn't happened at all this year or last. I think that the item system's been tweaked so that there's no way you can own a non-item. I'd hazard that all the items have numbers, like barcodes or something, so that shops and whatnot can identify them, and if you get handed an item but the system doesn't know what it is, instead of giving you a non-item, it sets it to number 1. Now, from reading months and months of editorials, I know that the Green Apple happens to be the first item that Adam and Donna ever created. So of course it would be #1...

And if anyone missed out on any of this year's wearables, except the Snowager Cap and Quilt Cape, I'd be happy to send you mine. I have very little desire to dress any of my pets as a Giant Moach.
