Strobe Costume

The Party, Pinata, Balloon, Gothic, Punk, Firework, and Strobe Costumes are from MaraPets' 8th/12th-15th Birthday Hunts as a grand prize, inside random Birthday Pinatas as of the 9th Birthday Party (2013), the Circus mission, November 2005/October 2017, April 2008 (with the Cotton Candy Costume)/June 2019 Account Upgrade Sets, January 2011/2018 and November 2017 Account Upgrades (the latter replacing the Hero Costume from November 2009). Party pets are mostly white with confetti and party favors; it is noticeable, though, that the newer pets pop even more than the old ones. Pinata pets are made of colourful papier-mâché; the first of these pets had a rope appearing from their backs, but the newer ones appear more liberated and livelier, as if they were in Viva Piñata. Balloon pets are essentially balloon animals, sometimes with bows around their necks and a 2014 revamp has added a string to make them resemble regular balloons. Gothic pets wear striped scarves, arm/leg warmers, pierced jewelry, an upset or suspicious look, and the occasional wings. Punk pets draw their appearances from glam metal, punk fashion, and David Bowie's alter ego Aladdin Sane; these pets commonly wear leather jackets, pierced silver rings, black guitars, and wild, red hair. Firework pets appear dark with yellow fireworks on their pelt as well as more colorful fireworks spewing behind them, perfectly replicating the sky during New Year's Eve and Independence Day in the United States. Strobe pets are predominately black with bright neon colors all around them. Every pet excluding the Sybri has colorful rings that are meant to resemble glow rings.

Potions Boutique Costs[]

Trivia[]

  • The filename for the Strobe Costume indicates that it was meant to be called the Rave Costume because of the club theme of the AU but was likely decided against due to raves being associated with ecstasy.
  • Outside of Enchanted Plushies and Potions (which can come cheap in the case of standard pets), the Party Costume has been almost unfeasible to obtain ever since the new Birthday Party was introduced, increasing the possibility that it would perhaps be re-released in a future AU Set; that way, the costume would be available from the Costume Boutique annually during MaraPets' birthday.

The Party Animal's Reception

Kid, You're a Firework![]

  • Fireworks in real life are very colourful - this costume, though, is so not colourful.
    • Needs more colors ON the pets, I think...
      However, the animations are super nice! ~ Ephemeral
      • I think with more colours on the pets, you risk it looking like the strobe costume more! I personally think it's nicely done, especially with the pucu!
        • Can y'all tell it is fireworks? Yes? Then the costume is fine. *Roll Eyes*
          I love it. I thought the old one was cool with the skyline, though. Shame it couldn't have been brought over; I think it'd look cool with the actual fireworks in the bg of the pets now. *Pleased*
          • It is really nice, just looking forward to getting non-basic pose costumes again... ~ Wednesday
  • As an owner of a Firework Vixen, I have to say I've been looking forward to this update for quite a while, and I have to say, that sneak peek after the rollback of the revamp, made me very excited for it.
    Now that it's here, I am not disappointed.
    It will take time getting used to him looking different, but I am really loving the update.
    Good work artist! Can't wait till the rest of my old pets see art updates.

The Haunted House Goths[]

  • AHHHH THE GOTHIC TROIT *Adore*
  • I love that sass from the willa!
    Can't wait to see how the crindol, quell, huthiq, sindi, tantua, zetlian, and vixen will look, when they get updated *Want*
    • Oh no. Now I am scared for my gothic pets. These look more punk to me and lack something that I love in my gothic pets; I'm just not sure what it is.
      • These aren't actually "goth" in the slightest, but I love 'em! *Wide Grin*
  • wow that kaala *Adore*Adore*
    I realise it's an earring chain...but that arinya looks like its ear is laying an egg lmao XD ~ Wednesday
    • Omg the Kaala and Gonk are presh *Adore*
      I agree though, the Arinya ear looks a little funny :3
  • It's great to see Oglues get more costumes! Same for Arinyas. I feel like these pets have been neglected in the past, but the revamps have been such an improvement!
    I feel like the Kronk could look really good with this costume.
  • The neck kinda bothers me on the Gothic Straya - it seems too thin. Or maybe the head isn't attached in the right spot? Not entirely sure, but everything else about it is great!
  • That Chibs is so cuuuute! Why I don't have more room! *Crying*

Party Time![]

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARAPETS!

    *Adore*

    All of those pets are gorgeous

    so happy to be a member and a staffie of this awesome site!
  • PARTY FLAAAAAB!
    Also, I like how the images are arranged in the post - o look almost like the Limax is giving the Flab a present! ~ Ephemeral
  • Hm. I will miss my old party chibs dearly. *Sad*
  • Dear amazingly talented artist, could you make a party Lorius pleeeease *Adore*
    • party Lorius added *Okay*Adore*
      • I'M CRYING
Thank you, thank you, thank you
  • I forgot how cute that costume is*Pleased*
  • £2AU for a plushie and £3AU for the party eyru onesie?! Come on, when you used to release the halloween character costumes, it was 2 for £4AU! Don't inflate the prices when in-game AUs are just getting more and more expensive, or you'll never be able to get new players into it because everything costs too much!!

    On a side note, loving the event and the artwork. No qualms there! ~ Ghibli
    • Awesome, new stuff. *Wide Grin*
      But yeah, Ghibli is right about prices. Its hard enough to get the retired AU stamps and I suppose that there was quite a bunch at time the AU pack was released. And this AU shop stuff is discouraging even for resellers and more so for newcomers.
      Also the temple is too expensive and pays off for only about 5 or less stamps. :/ (and those are only stamps) ~ TazmaniaD3vil
      • So well drawn! *Adore*


        Idk if this is the place to post this and i'm not bothered if it doesn't happen but was there supposed to be an AU lottery after the crash? Each new avatar earned/re-earned and each mission completed until some date in april/may counter towards 1 entry or something? Did i make this up lol? Like i said, not bothered if it's not happening as there's been plenty given out on the site, just wondering if i made this up or somehow completely missed it *Silly* ~ Wednesday
        • Wednesday - There was a lottery for the avatars/missions after the crash. It played out just as any other monthly checklist lottery.

          This was the announcement of the winners:
          http://www.marapets.com/comments.php?id=3524

          There were complaints about it, I guess, but it is what it is.
          • oh wow i completed missed that, i must've overlooked it as just been the usual checklist news and not actually read it oops Tongue Out thank you for pointing that out, i had been wondering for a while lol XD ~ Wednesday

Punk Party![]

  • Hm, not bad. Not my cup of tea, but pretty cool.
  • Honestly, I'm torn about this. I have a punk Kaala, and with his old look, he actually looks punk.
    This new look, though, is more of a heavy metal look [akin to Judas Priest], but oh well.
    • I must say that I do love the minipet that comes with this one.

      But I agree that I do get more of a heavy metal/hard rock vibe than I do punk from this one.
  • I'm gonna miss the old Sindi, but I love the punk mordo even more so now! Great job on the costume update!
  • I would love to change my music collection pet Vexxis into a Musical Costume, but I would like to keep him a Knutt as I don't really like the way he looks now with the Punk redraw.

The Strobe Rave! (+ Bodybuilders)[]

  • I must say that I’ll miss some of the Hero pets. The Basil was hilarious with its huge muscles!!!
    • This is not very fair to the few who actually liked the hero costume. Unpopular or not, I think you should have at least had a say from the current owners of hero pets if it would be ok. *Zombie*
    • I feel the Hero costume would've been better off with a revamp rather than a complete change.
      • I love love love this. The colour combos are very pleasing to my eye. *Smile* I will have at least a couple of these. Already changed my chibs.
        I do agree tho - redrawings are better than totally changing a pet.
        • Remember, there were hero and superhero costumes. The hero one in question was a super muscular (hulk) version of the pets in torn shorts. Superhero is still safe (capes and masks with bright colors)
          The Strobe Costume, though, is cute; it's like rave meets reverse-Neon costume. ~ Ephemeral
          • Super Hero isn't going anywhere! Hero was this:
There is no way any revamp of that mess would work ~ Ian
  • You go Ian! I think you are absolutely right.
    Change is good, for the site and the pets.
    I crack up every time I see that silly Sybri and his grin ... he looks good in any costume.
    I think these are fun costumes. *Like*Like*
    • Very glad for the Hero costume to go away; Ian's right: there was very little hope for it, as it was, to be revamped. ~ Ephemeral
  • Uh, the Troit looks kinda odd with its green shell and hat.
    They both should be more grey or pastel like the Gonk's hair, I think.
  • I would like these pets a lot more if they didn't have those glowing rings. Aside from the Sybri, they look misplaced!
    • Yay the Figaro doesn't have rings!
    • I personally wish the colors were more saturated around the glowsticks, more like the colors of the Arcade pets. At the same time, the colors are soothing and not too gaudy, so I feel mixed about it. The artwork is still lovely though.
  • I love the mane of the Bolimo and Crindol!
    Also, the Reese's feet are so cute!
