All the various spoppy's carry the image of the original spoppy =)

So then whats the point? If they look the same, then why are they so special? If TNT wanted to give a special petpet to sertian people, you'd think they'd do SOMTHING to it to make it uber cool or somthing...

Because if they'd had some original cool looking petpet that only TNT staff could have there would have been outrage about it, people moaning that they could never own this new and cool looking petpet.
But to make it exactly like another petpet but with a special name - that makes it original but not enough for people to be jumping up and down demanding it be released for everyone. Neopets is a game site for people to play, the staff don't want people being resentful of them for getting a special item no one else can.
So there are Spoppy's for everyone, Spoppy II's for a select few and ONE Spoppy III. TNT get a special perk, more like an in joke really, and no one has their noses put out of joint.
