Back on September 1st the second batch of winners for #NEOPETS was announced on the portal. It only contained 10 winners, far less than the first contest. Per the FAQ and the updated portal post the number of winners depends on the number of entries. Thanks to ambassadors and the community at large, 10 more winners were put up on the post this morning! 

The 10 newest winners received a Neomail below:

Notably, it says to view your lookup to get the avatar. We have at least one report saying that the avatar was already in their preferences without viewing their lookup. So I guess disregard that.

Congrats to all 20 winners! The newest theme has yet to be announced but when it does it should appear on the initial portal page.

Per the newest portal post we have a bit to look forward to in the near Neo-future. New pet styles, upcoming conventions at PAX West and RetroGameCon, and more.

On site there will be a new Faerie Festival with Iridesia and Luxinia hosting. In addition to the normal donation theme and in game prizes, there will be a battle pass and all new avatar. If you recall, at the end of The Void Within Fyora stepped down as queen. Well, during the festival players will get to vote in the Faerie Council that was teased! Don't forget to spend your points from last year's Festival if you haven't already.

Another exciting thing announced was the reopening of the community meetup form. This time TNT are focusing on anniversary events, similar to what they have been doing since the Birthday Bashes a few years ago. If you're interested talk to your IRL Neofriends and get planning! TNT need at least one month notice to review and approve your request as an official meetup.

Be sure to check your inbox for a recap of Neopets' pop-up store, Neo York, which happened August 21st through August 23rd. Inside, you'll find a feedback survey as well as a one-time code for those who RSVP'd to attend the pop-up for an item. There will also be an item given for filling out the survey at a later time.

Jeran Action Figure

It looks like the previously announced MLBPA Kacheek figure has been cancelled. Those who preordered got an email stating the manufacturing partner was not producing a product up to their standards. Refunds will be issued within the next ten days. Emails also included a code for the Hydrate With a Slushie Badge item which is lendable so everyone can get the avatar.

Additionally it was discovered on August 28th that the Baseball Kacheek Stamp (which was another promised item with this collectable) was stocking in the shop in the Companion App. However whenever someone did buy it it was not showing up in their inventory, suggesting it was not fully active. At this time there has been no word from TNT on if this was indeed an error or how else they may plan to release the stamp.

As of 9/2, the Baseball Kacheek Stamp is live.

There were other items announced as well in the initial portal post but those have yet to appear anywhere either. Hopefully TNT makes an announcement or at least lets these other items out into Neopia soon!

But, as always, at least we have a font for now.

You may recall the Soup Kitchen had a few changes after getting the page converted back on August 12th, primiarly related to donations. In the news TNT stated:

Stay consistent with your help and your kindness might even be rewarded!

A few weeks later on August 25th people started winning various items from donating. And today someone won an all new avatar. Requirements at this time are not fully known, but it's possible the news was misleading as some people have donated consistently daily and have yet to get it.

Soup Faerie - Donation – Requirements unknown, but related to donating at the Soup Kitchen.
