A final decision/agreement seems to have been made between TNT and Youtooz regarding the Plushie Mania avatar. For those keeping score it was first announced to be available to evryone if 2600 total units sold but since that goal was not meant it was only going to backers. It was noticed more were being sold in person at Neo York yesterday and now today we are finding out that the avatar is awarded through a lendable item in the goodie bag that comes with them!

Plushie Mania – Have your pet play with a Crafting Plushie JubJub and Shoyru Foreground.

Another new avatar has appeared thanks to Neo York! It officially started today with lots of new in person and on site items to get. If you are in or near New York check out the schedule of events here and maybe drop on by! Keep checking the portal page for regular updates as well because as of 12:00 New York time items are already sold out per the portal.

If you can't make it the Neopets Shop has some items available online as do several of the merch partners at the event.

Now that Bigsby's WonderCog Hunt has concluded, the Wonderclaw machines are back in business! Our NC Mall Wonderclaw guide will soon be updated with the new prizes so be sure to check back (the machines on the middle and right, Dream and Retro, are not new and already listed on our guide). 

A new avatar was also part of the rewards for helping out Bigsby:

Looks like there is a new avatar released to coincide with the Neo York shop. And here is a font to go along with it!

🎉 SunnyNeo turned 20! 🎉

 

That's right! Twenty years of guides, databases, tools, tips, pixels, documentation, and so much more! For two whole decades, SunnyNeo has been proudly serving the Neopian community as an ad-free helpsite, built by Neopians who simply love helping other Neopians. From customisation help to making your Neopets adventures just a little easier, we've loved being part of your journeys through Neopia year after year. 

To celebrate this amazing occasion we're releasing some updates and new guides, including the new Styling Studio guide along with the new pet styles database in our PetPedia. Shoutout to heymachahha133lauisiferbitny202, and the hundreds of other contributing players who modelled their pet styles.

We can hardly believe we've reached this huge milestone and we know it would not have been possible with the amazing community that continues to visit, contribute information, and share our site with others. So here's to many more years of helping every day. Thank you for being a part of our story! And now... Let's celebrate!

Happy Meerca Day! Meerca can now be painted Valentine! The Shadow Thief Meerca outfit can be found at Cog's Togs. Our Rainbow Pool database has been updated!

 

A Pet Day NC Mystery Capsule has been released to celebrate Meerca Day.

 

Happy Meerca Day! Open this Meerca Day mini capsule and receive one exclusive Aisha-themed item. This capsule also has a chance of awarding one limited-edition bonus item! Some items are only wearable by Meerca Neopets. If your Neopet is not a Meerca, it will not be able to wear some of these NC items. Note: Due to this being a mini capsule, bonuses are awarded on their own and not alongside a prize. Meerca Day Y28 Mini Mystery Capsule See Preview

Round two is ready to rock for the new creative contest #NEOPETS!

With Neo York right around the corner what better theme to pick to advertise on social media than Neo York? Welcome to August's theme for #NEOPETS: Welcome to Neo York!


TNT has given us much to work with through many previews and the WonderCog event thus far, so this should be an exciting theme for the creative community.  

Submissons are open August 15th through... well, TBD. The portal says August 26th and the Google Form says August 31st. Hopefully TNT clarifies this sooner than later, but for now it's time to work! Winners will be announced no later than September 10th.

Our guide has been updated with the latest as well.

Bigsby Shadington is teaming up with his friend, Nigel, to bring Wonderclaw back to the NC Mall. In Bigsby's WonderCog Hunt, you will need to help find parts around Neopia to bring back to Bigsby so he can continue fixing the Wonderclaw machines. Be sure to also visit Nigel at the Wonderclaw Arcade to earn daily prizes.

Head on over to our Bigsby's WonderCog Hunt guide on where to find each part around Neopia, what prizes you'll earn, and more!

This event is not only a celebration of bringing back the Wonderclaw game to the NC Mall, but also Neopet's in-person Neo York Pop-up Event which will take place from August 21st to August 23rd, 2026 in New York.

As promised the next page to be converted is the Soup Kitchen! We've updated our Soup Kitchen guide to reflect the revamp.

Inflation is hitting everyone, including the streets of Neopia Central. You can now eat at the Soup Kitchen if you have less than 100,000 Neopoints, up from 3,000 Neopoints.

The Soup Faerie also takes donations. She notes that there are treats for donors. Our initial testing has yet to get any such treats, but we will update our guide once we get more data. However, the announcement in the notification tab says the following:

Still [sic] consistent with your help and your kindness might even be rewarded!

So let's see what we can find over the next few days, shall we?

We are still working on the specifics, but it looks like the OG avatar can also be awarded when donating.

Soup Faerie – Random when feeding your pets or random when donating at least 5,000 Neopoints at the Soup Kitchen

Tip: if you have too many Neopoints to be able to use the Soup Kitchen, offer all your Neopoints on trades that are your own via a side account.
