Iris! So nice to see you back! You really stick out in my memory as having interesting comments... you'll have to post often.iriso83 wrote:I don't know.Jazzy wrote:Iris! What is it with people coming back this week?Emma already pointed me here some time ago (I had lost track of where everyone went after all the temporary forums) and I lurked a bit, but I didn't really feel the need to sign up and post until I saw those Jubjubs in the news today.
Jubjub re-vamp
I... like it? *blinks* For so long Jubjubs were right there with Kikos--balls with two appendages that were UGLY AS HELL. This isn't an improvement. It's like... a whole new species almost. It's cute. It has personality. It looks like maybe in some weird fantasy world it could actually exist. *seriously considers making Floofies into one*
And, to the people who are saying it's creepy, do you mean it wasn't creepy before? Because it was. Standard Jubs were hidious. They were so poorly drawn that you couldn't see how creepy they are. Really, what do you expect of a ball of fur with big feet and huge eyes? All they did was move the feet and make it a little more realistic. The Jubjub was ALWAYS spooky looking, but you just couldn't tell because it's feet were in the way. It's not because of the hint of eyelids, the mouth, the way the fur falls, whatever. It's always been a weird looking species and it was obvious at least to me that this was where the revamp was headed.

I can't help but go "d'awww" with this revamp. Sure, I can see how they are a bit creepy. The hint of a nose throws me off; I don't get how they can have a nose or muzzle or anything that would warrant that shadow. But ah well.
The battledome poses are far improved, though. Now it actually looks like it's in action, instead of just hanging there.
Hopefully TNT will get their behinds moving on updating the colors... can't wait to see Halloween or Island.

I think it's a massive improvement, though I do kinda feel for those who LIKED the foot-hiding thing. But they look a LOT like the TCG ones now, which is a good thing, IMO. I liked those, and now they're like this on the site.
I think my dislike for JubJubs will fade a bit. I have a young friend who plays the TCG game with a JubJub deck he came up with (and dang it's pretty good), so he likes the fuzzballs. He doesn't play on the site, though, but his little sister does (and SHE pesters the heck outta me!
).

You're right, they do look like the TGC versions.
No, I wouldnt be using this as an excuse to post one of my favorite cards, not me...
I like the revamp, I think. Not enough to own one, but it is good art. The grinning face I don't like much, the jubjub seemed like a shy pet hiding behind it's feet and now it is a happy grinning outgoing fool.
Oh well. At least the concept stayed the same, even if the personality didnt.

This I agree with. I love the redesign, but the loss of that sense of shyness is regretful.thelonetiel wrote: I like the revamp, I think. Not enough to own one, but it is good art.

1...2...3..! "Awww!" You know, I completely didn't see this revamp style coming. I honestly thought they were going to go with the newer color revamp style like clay and plushie, which I think I would've liked better because I like those little feet hiding the jubjub. This is a great revamp, although I will miss the old island simply for the fact that it had decorated feet. Oh well, I think it's well done, but I've always liked jubjubs anyway.
