I'm confused as to why they updated the Christmas Baby Blu with a different variation, it certainly doesn't look as nice as it was before.

Alright, who drew the Christmas Nuk? >.> That doesn't even look like a Nuk, it's ugly as hell. Not that I'd ever want to paint anything Christmas anyway. XD

I dunno, it's kind of cute if you look at it sideways. Looks kind of like a stoned Rudolph.

I thought it was quite nice. Of course, it does look nothing like a Nuk, but... it's Rudolph!

Rudolph the red nosed nuk had a very shinny nose...

Something was bothering me about the Christmas Nuk, and I finally think I know why. It's got this face with angular features on top of a rounded body, and the two just don't fit. I think it's that way on the original Nuk too, but in this one, it's more pronounced. Also, there's something funky going on with the sizes of the head and the eyes; they're noticably larger than they should be.

I have to agree with you on that one. I saw the Nuk and almost cried.

When I first looked at the news I had no idea what that petpet was. After I read the text I still couldn't believe it. It would have been so cute if they would have used the normal Nuk art. I love regular Nuks, I almost got one for my Uni.

Correction: Had a very boring nose.
It ain't shiny at all. o_0
Anyway, I agree that it looks horrible. But doesn't matter; I'm not getting ANY Christmas petpet for my pets.
