Our Trick or Treat guide has been updated with this new item and an animated preview.
-thanks to yooo_danhel for mentioning the facebook news!
|
And here is also the font for the Stamp Collector - The Battledome avatar.
|
For more avatars and fonts, check our our Secret Avatars & Fonts page.
Aww so cute, and wearable too!
Ehmm, those heads...They're staring at me...
At this stage it is believed that the avatar has been obtained from people who have restocked at the Haunted Woods shops. It has also been discovered by some people that buying from the Neovia shops will also award the avatar.
BUT, it seems there may be a bit of a catch with this avatar. Merely buying any item will not award you the avatar immediately. At this point in time it is to be assumed that the awarding of this avatar is random. SunnyNeo will strive to keep up to date with the solution for this avatar!
A big thank you for the overwhelming support of people mailing us to let us know of possible information regarding this avatar.
Obtained by restocking an item from one of the shops at the Haunted Woods, Deserted Fairground or Neovia. Receiving this avatar is random, you may or may not get it when restocking an item. This means it may take you several tries to unlock the avatar. | |||

TNT had this to say in the news post:
If you're quick, you might manage to unlock this new avatar before All Hallow's Eve. Good luck! |
Looks like more baby Neopets have crawled their way to the Art Adoptables page, so why not check them out along with the with the rest?

Loads of thanks go to vitor_montro7 for pointing this out to us!
When the plots was only going on for a little time, TNT posted the following message on their Facebook site:
"Pitiful Neopets, you will all soon be my slaves." – Dr. Frank Sloth |
Coincidence?
Coincidence? That's who you think!
Now, will Sloth really be the villain behind the faeries being turned into stone or will this just be a diversion to take our attention away for the real evil? Only time can tell us. Until then, keep an eye on our The Faeries' Ruin plot guide, where we'll keep you updated!
*meep* Of course Sloth's just a diversion, what else did you think? *meep*
I TOLD you not to play with fire!
Ooh, this tickles!
Retired version
New version

Just click on your unwanted Item and choose "Discard Item."
Just a couple of warnings:
- You won't get any NeoCash if you discard an item, it's just gone.
- Be sure it's the correct Item you want to delete. Once discarded, it's gone forever!
Please don't remove me, I'll be a good pimpel...
If this is a permanent option, or a glitch, is something we don't know yet. We just have to wait until TNT releases the news.
Say hello to Xandra! Head on over to our lovely Art Adoptables Page for her and other neat TFR adoptables!

Glitch! If you can't seem to select your battle pet in the battledome drop down list, don't worry this is an easy to fix glitch that has been circulating. Simply remove your pet's weaponry and re-equip them.
Note: You won't be able to select your pet from the drop down list if your pet is sick, hungry, or out of hp (obviously). These situations are not glitches :P
Put down my weapons!? Are you crazy! The shadows will get me ;_;
scared yet?
Update:
You need to win or draw against all 3 opponents at least 5 times to get this Deed.
Thanks to mfruity_gurlz189 for correcting the info.
