I figured it'd be a nice to have a dedicated place to talk about Neopets Merch!
Might fill this first post in more later, but I want to get discussing now.

The only merch I have are plush toys I got from McDonalds. And a Mynci toy from Burger King. Came with a Shenkuu-themed box.

Ooh yeah, when I first saw their custom acrylic charms, my first thought was how it's a creative idea! I'm not much of a merch person and probably wouldn't get it myself, but I do find it neat the variety in merch we've been seeing lately.
Haha I also have my original McDonalds Neopets plushes (save for a yellow Moehog I remember having, but who is probably lost to time </3). They actually helped me figure out around the time I first discovered Neopets, as I do remember the plushies introducing me to the site. Before in my head, Neopets always just felt omnipresent in my life, but now I know that I first joined around 2004-2005 :3

I remember I saved a bag from the 2005 promotion. Wish I kept it.

Random thread revive but I got the 2021 edition plushie set for Christmas last year. People universally seem to have a great reaction to the rainbow slorg, even if they've never played. They may have no idea what a slorg is but they're still like "HECK YEAH THAT SLUG IS GAY!!!!" 10/10 would buy more rainbow slorgs

The tarot card art is amazing and I love the idea of a Neopets tarot deck but I only have two criticisms: 1. Bit too expensive for someone who doesn't even tarot and only wants the pretty art. 2. NO NEOQUEST-RELATED CARDS I think one of the artists was asked during an art stream if there were NQ-related cards and they said no

Tarot sets are always so expensive unfortunately 🥺 And it seems to be that way with ALL of them. I don't know what it is about "set of tiny prints on cardstock" that gets so pricey so fast. I'm not much for divination as a way of life I just really love tarot cards xD
I really want that set so bad xD;

I decided to treat myself and preordered the Tarot Deck. now I'm sure someone on JN Staff also pre-ordered so they'll likely have them scan the card and put them up someplace, though incase they don't I'll offer to scan it for them (if they want). I scanned the Neopets Magazines and The Darkest Faerie PS2 game manual, so wouldn't be the first time I helped out by scanning stuff.

I'm not much for divination as a way of life I just really love tarot cards xDI really want that set so bad xD; I put that into perspective by thinking how it's 78 individual pieces of art. That's like, more than I'll make in a lifetime. xD

Liou Truuueee I hadn't really thought about it in those terms. It IS a pretty massive artistic project to make a full sized deck like that.

Another update about the Tarot Cards, this time via an email: It also included an image of complete deck, including a few cards we haven't seen yet: EDIT: I sent an email asking them about the "extra exclusive" which artist Anthony Conley mentioned people who pre-ordered the deck before November 1st (which I did) would get. While I was originally going to post the JN post, I decided to instead look for the actual post. Turns out it was an Instagram post, and while there I looked at his other drawings and it looks like he may have shared some additional pieces of art that would be included in the Tarot (among many other fun drawings). Here's their Instragram is anyone was curious: www.instagram.com/anthonyconleyart/?hl=en
