Ooh! New non-NCMall backgrounds!! I was *wondering* when they'd open a shop for that! Yeah!
Oh, and I love the puppets! Particularly this one:

[Lee]

New backgrounds look cool. The pet appearence rating in interesting.

[_lexxia]

Backgrounds! Yay!

Those hand puppets are so cute.

[May]

I adore the hand puppets Now if only I actually cared about the customization

[Byakuya San]

*Steals the Pandaphant puppet* It's mine! ALL MINE, I TELL YOU!



Haha...so, it's about time they made a background shop. I hope they're animated like the ones in the NC Mall.

I actually hope they are unanimated. I find the NC mall ones overly so and it annoys me. :/

But, AH! This is the first time I'm kinda sad that aishas don't have the FistofDoom! I want my pets to be able to play with puppets. Ok..maybe I don't want them to play with puppets enough for fists..but still.

I disabled the rating on two of my pets, but by the time I had gotten to Ukyo, he already had a rating..and it was good! Which is impressive because he's only wearing slippers. So I left it open on him, but I'm glad they made it optional. I wonder if you repaint your pet if the rating reset..or if your pet gets stuck with a bad rating because he wasn't painted yet.

And I cannot explain how excited I am for buyable backgrounds. I hope they increase our options for them over time.

Does anyone know where Mystical Surroundings is physically located? I don't see it in any of Neopia Central...

*is curious*

I was wondering that myself. The mountain climbing gear made me think Shenkuu, but I can't find it there.

[Pink]

I really want that pandaphant (?) hand puppet...so cute!

[varii]

So I guess there is a limit to how many pets you can rate a day, because it is not letting me rate anymore. Which is making me very sad.

[Unitylejean]

Yes, buyable backgrounds! I was afraid they'd never release any.

Now I'm waiting for an underwater one and a flying-through-the-sky one. Though the cheese one made me laugh.

[metalmario]

Since two of my pets are in the "old" style (and I refuse to convert them) and another is a mutant which can't be customized, and the last one is my lab pet who changes every day anyway... I've disabled my ratings on them. *throws confetti*

The puppets are cute, because they aren't clothes. Kinda edging the boundary, but eh.

[Byakuya San]

For anyone who didn't know, there are more backgrounds than those they posted on the new features (courtesy of jellyneo).

[3lla]

i the puppets.
so adorable!

but the neopets redraws and the shopkeepers look so weird......they creep me out
