Christmas and Snow Pet Styles Released

New Christmas- and Snow-coloured Pet Styles are now available in the NC Mall's Styling Studio! A series of new Prismatics is also available.

This release consists of the 44 Nostalgic Christmas styles and 31 Nostalgic Snow styles, all of which never had equivalent UC versions before. Ixi, Chombies, and Vandagyres also receive Festive Christmas styles. As promised two editorials ago, the Nostalgic Sponge Techo makes its triumphant debut. (It was previously spoiled, but left unreleased since a regular Sponge Techo didn't actually exist until recently.)

A few new Prismatic options—Pine and Tinsel—are also available for the Nostalgic Christmas Gelert. UPDATE: More Prismatic versions are now available for Christmas Pet Styles, including a third colour option: Cocoa! There are 36 total options, two each for 18 different species.

Here is a sampling of the new styles:




These styles are rotational, with no retirement timeline announced yet with a currently stated sale date through January 17th.

There is also a sale on Styling Studio supplies through December 31st, with all supplies (deluxe and normal) 25% off.

Here are some of the HQ glossy versions of a few of the first Pet Styles modeled for JN—the 80x80 item images don't do them justice!







If you plan on purchasing one of the new Pet Styles above, why not model for us? All models earn 25 Modeling Points towards a shiny new trophy for your jnAccount.

We also still need some Blue and Tyrannian Pet Styles modeled, so if you have those, check our list to see if you can help out!

rip to everyone waiting on Nostalgic Ice Bruce, I guess? It's not even one that *I* want, but I can't believe TNT hasn't made note of how many people are waiting for that one.

I was hoping the holiday pet style release will include the Ice Bruce. Guess TNT really doesn't want me to get one.

@go_bruce: You were in our thoughts today when we didn't see it available in the Studio this morning...

100% expected Christmas, Snow AND Ice, or at least Ice Bruce. Darn.

Confused why some didn't get any styles, though?
Ixi got TWO Christmas styles while others got no styles at all.
Festive Chomby and Vanda but nothing for all of the others, like Lutari, Krawk, Gnorbu etc.

It kinda feels unfinished. Only 2 Prismatics for just Gelert feels a bit out of place. 🤔

Wait, we're getting... multiple poses now?

THAT MEANS THERE'S HOPE FOR HALLOWEEN UNI!?

More Prismatic Christmas styles are available for various pets.

Weird that they didn't wait until everything was ready until pushing it live, but I guess they didn't want a gap where there weren't styles available? But it also means they're moving way too fast trying to get everything out now that we've noticed: Prismatic Cocoa: Christmas Ruki is listed under Usul for some reason.

ouagh noo i thought they stopped pushing the eyes apart on the kikos :-(
the vandagyre looks so cute! i don't have a need for 99% of these but i do think a lot of them turned out really good, and i love that both the nostalgic and festive xmas ixi were released at the same time!! i hope they do that more, i've been loving a lot of the new styles but sometimes i prefer the nostalgic ones ;w;

Am I crazy or wasn't the original sponge techo style teal? Multiple people I've asked have also said it was teal but then they released it orange. Now I don't know what's real.
by shorte2002 on December 17, 2024 1:47 PM NST
The similarly dubiously released Sponge Shoyru was teal, you may be mixing the two up.
by problematicperiplum on December 17, 2024 2:03 PM NST
I recall the techo being orange originally.

The prismatic styles look like TNT took some feedback about the first set and didn’t just change the hue this time and I really appreciate that
by nightshadeswiftswing on December 17, 2024 3:18 PM NST
Ah ok, maybe that was it. Thanks!
by shorte2002 on December 17, 2024 3:28 PM NST
@shorte2002: The Sponge Techo wasn't teal--you're probably thinking of the Sponge Shoyru, which did have an unreleased teal version. Techo was always orange (and unreleased until last month).

Yep I think you guys are right, the shoy is the exact colour I thought the techo originally was.
by shorte2002 on December 17, 2024 7:08 PM NST
no prismatics again for the Koi... so disappointed.... TT_TT
by zestycactus on December 17, 2024 8:54 PM NST
Glad they seemed to listen to people about the prismatics, these are so much nicer!!

I'm so sad about the Christmas Zafara's eyes though, they're all wrong... That is NOT the pet that led to my Zafara addiction! :'(
by goldennightfox on December 17, 2024 9:28 PM NST
Still a little confused why some got Dyeworks while others didn't, but glad they tried harder this time.
These Dyeworks (err.. "Prismatics") are actually really cute!
by biediep on December 17, 2024 11:48 PM NST
goldennightfox, I 100% agree. Not the Zafaras that I know and love.
by zenopeltis on December 18, 2024 12:27 AM NST
Dang, had to look up what the Zaf eyes used to look like but yea that difference is huge.
They were WAY cuter before
by biediep on December 18, 2024 1:19 AM NST
Still with the sharpness... I'm done lol, I can't match these with any of the wearables I spent the last 2-3 years trading for on my full account of pets. I'm discontinuing my premium.
by sakaarson on December 18, 2024 12:42 PM NST
Gotta commend them for putting a lot more effort into the prismatics this time around.
by thesign2 on December 18, 2024 9:43 PM NST
the prismatic ones are definitly an update over the faerie ones
by diamondjirachi on December 22, 2024 5:15 AM NST
Man, I used to never like Vandagyres, but this nostalgic pose is so cute! Seems they were just the victims of customization.
