Smetham Productions present: Welcome to Tundra Town!
The retiredIce Fairy, Snowman, Polar, Blitzen, Winter, and Tundra Costumes are from the November 2007/December 2021, December 2008/2015, December 2009/2016/2023, December 2010/2019, January 2013, and December 2014/2022 Account Upgrades. Each of these costumes can also return to the Costume Boutique in December for one day only. Putting these costumes on certain marapets will Ice Fairy pets have poofy dresses, icicle wands, snowy mascara, and a pair of icy wings. Snowman pets wear fallen leaves, coal, carrots, top hats/waffle cones, boots, twigs, and red/green scarves to bring them to life. Polar pets (hence the name) wear polar bear suits and purple scarves, along with having Flursoes and Arctic poles with them. Blitzen pets are modelled after Rudolph, complete with red noses, antlers, jingle bell collars, and bobtails replacing the pets' regular tails. Winter and Tundra pets have iced-over features, chilly mist, iced-over features, and some are also well-furred to survive the frigid climate of Biala. Tundra pets also have pelt patterns that are reminiscent of the coats of the Chukchi people of the Siberiantundra. Their lesser cousins, the Ice & Snow Costumes are from Blitzen's Grotto and the Lottery as a random prize. The coloration of Ice pets is a darker shade of blue than Glass pets, with added touches of purple and shine. Snow pets are white and frosty blue with tinge.
As well as deriving from the Ice Fairy from the Mystery Item game, the Ice Fairy Costume and its namesake are very much inspired by The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen.
As of 14th December 2019, Ice Fairy is now an approved Elfember costume.[1]
Re-releasing AUs is one thing, but is there really a reason to re-release the same exact potions with the costume the first time around?
The hump's eyelashes caught my eye! these are very cute!!
Y'know, I've always wondered, how come it's the "Blitzen" costume and not "Rudolph"? Still, cute update!! The Daisy is my favorite!
@Vaccine he looks nothing like this costume haha he will when he's re-done ~ Ian
Even though it's in basic pose, I feel like much more time has been taken to make sure the add-ons really fit and nothing looks off. Yuni's my favourite! ~ Wednesday
For me, the update takes some time getting used to; I loved the facial expression of the old blitzen willa. The limax also changed quite a bit. However, I do really prefer the new art of the Blitzen Figaro.
I didn’t even know that there was new art. Off to go look right now... Twelve seconds later... Some of them look rushed: the Willa doesn’t have the white on their face and belly; the Chibs looks overdone, and its face also looks a bit off.
Cold as Ice[]
I think they had to make [ice] really blue to differentiate it from glass, which had to be different from silver ...it's kind of an impossible task though to both make them look different and match the theme of the costume. Hence, why I think one should be scrapped (maybe literally lol, recode glass as ice and rename glass to scraps or something Rubbish Dump-themed) ~ Wednesday
10 years ago, my goal pet was the Ice Fairy Dakota. Within in the last month or so, I finally managed to costume my Dakota just to say I've finally achieved it, but I now actually dislike the design in comparison to what it used to be!
I so despise the snowy white eyelashes on the new designs. I think if they had the frost blue eyelashes of the old ones, then they'd look a little better at least. ~ pandaliciousx
@pandalicious Absolutely agree - the Phanty and Poera were so much daintier before! That being said, I do like the Ice Fairy Mordo more now! I really need to have a sit and think about what I would like to change Annaelyse to now - just too many options!
How beautiful!! *Adore*
OMG, these pets are gorgeous! Especially the Azul and Walee ^^
Props to the artist!
The Polar Pets[]
Sadly, the echlin still looks ugly. Liking the viotto though - I can just picture it thinking "say it to the flank".
Very nice redraw. Much better than the old art.
Sooooo cute!!!!!! *Adore*
What a lovely new set! *Adore*
We need more pet space XD (especially since adorable new pets keep getting added, 100 pets just isn't enough *Crying*XD*)
I love these!! But I do kinda wish there was a bit more of the dark blue on them like the older ones (like the daisy and figaro).
That Bolimo, though, is adorable 😍
Oh goodie. 15 makers for a single AU set. That means another 15 plushies that will be impossible to add to our collections without spending hundreds in AUs or hundreds of thousands in MP.
The costume and items are super nice though!
Why are the new polar pets being released a handful at a time? Just put them all out at once! They are absolutely adorable! ~ gennie & jaanaanita
@gennie because they're not all made at once *Shifty Eyes* ~ Ian
Aww love the Ercuw and Nino. Maybe it's time to change my pet Eskimo. *Wide Grin*
The Nino is very well drawn and executed. Nice idea with the wings too.
Dies from cuteness overload!! I need a Polar Pets row!!
And, now a polar lightning round![]
Why is the Polar Grint so sad looking? *Crying*
Yay! Finally a new Reese 😍🤩 ~ Reese
Always nice to see so many mission pets get so much attention. That may be one of the cutest Astros yet!
Waiting on the Kujo *Crying* ~ jack8290
@jack8290 it'll be out in the next batch in a few days *Smile* ~ Ian Four days later...
*Adore*Adore* KUJO IS HERE ~ jack8290
The hump having so many little ones on its back *Adore*
look at the phanty with a baby snow friend on his snoot. *Adore*
The eyru's giant snow pile of a tail is so cute!
omg the Poera! I'm not even a fan of most Poeras but that one *Adore*
Biala's Steppe Pets[]
The newer art makes me think they're ice hockey mascots for some reason lol (especially the Ideus on team USA) but I can see it's tried to replicate the style and I'm glad the original art wasn't changed this time ~ Wednesday
We would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. If you are just starting your celebrations, have a safe and eventful evening. 2014 has been a great year for Marapets and 2015 will be even better!!!!
Yes do keep it safe. Awesome pets, wish I had the room for a few and my vixen team.
Oh my god yes! Finally a new costume for poeras! What pet is the walrus? That thing is the cutest pet ever. ~ RustHeart
Rusty, the walrus is the flab. Yes, these are great pets, but I have no place to put them. We need more pet space with all these new great pets coming out!
No offense to [the] artists, but simply 'tis my opinion that the pets look too "drawn" and not floaty enough for a snowy feel.
I heard the new Experience is to use Tundra costume. I will be waiting until I see if there is a Tundra Avatar as well. I love all the pets with this costume so beautiful!
And now, Biala's frozen-over lightning round!
That Gonk just cracks me up. I wonder what he was up to. His face says it all! Wonderful expression.
Omg, that quell is so gorgeous! It reminds me of a fluffy mink!
Chest fluff on a Rofling? I see what you did thar. That aside, all three of them are super lovely.
Love the fasoro, reminds me how my puppy sleeps. *Wide Grin*
ooo the hump looks snazzy!
Basil's always in the same pose, but still cute
That limax is ... *chef's kiss*
Huthiq Wins!!! What a twist on that costume for the Huthiq. Very creative and ingenious!
