3th September - Techo Day!

* To start off Techo Day, you can now paint your Techo Glowing at the Rainbow Pool!

* Make sure you take your Techo to see Cap'n Threelegs or they will miss out on all that lovely FREE training.

* The Book Shop has some great new Techo themed books in stock including Fishing for Techos and Techo Master Tactics.

* A new Story Telling Competition has just begun. Can you think of the next part?

"Ugh!" the speckled Shoyru groaned as she lifted the musty old box. "The dust in this attic is unbearable! Has anyone ever cleaned this place? Evan, could you give me a hand over here?"

* What better thing to help celebrate Techo Day than a handful of these delicious biscuits? There are four flavours to choose from, on sale in the Bakery now!

* This week's Minigolf Spotlight award has been given to Crazy4comics for their level - Exotic Golf.

* Rather unsurprisingly today's Caption Contest image features some Techos...

* As we have been doing the Techo Day things we noticed that Techos really are in need of a makeover. While we dont want to drastically change them, they will be next in line for a little update.

* There are two Screen Savers to choose from with a Techo theme.

* If you have always wanted a Techo but dont want to disown one of your existing Neopets, maybe one of these Morphing Potions could help?

* Put on your thinking cap and you could bag yourself this snazzy Techo avatar!

* Let this fun looking Fishing Techo Background adorn your desktop!

* There are four new Techo Shopkeepers to choose from.

* These new Plushies make a perfect Techo Day gift.

* This new Techo Day Blog will look great in your shop.

* Stop by the Art Gallery and you will see lots of new Techo pictures on display.

* Today's Pet Spotlight award goes to two Mutant Techos called Ap0c0lyps3 and Rayilian.


*re-enters techo pic* ...bah! :cry: Never submit pics the day before a pet day.

Yes! Techo's are next in line for a makeover! Also, I love the cookies.

dude! the buzzer game? that's terrible for a techo av

Techo's next in line for a revamp, eh? Why not the Tuskininny? The Techo could stand to be as it is for another month or two. Glowing doesn't look too good though, especially since it's a new color.

I'm assuming that can get away with a quicker revamp with the more subtle Techo revamp than the Tuskaninny (I have a feeling that it would be a more drastic change) Although I never liked how they overlap revamps (how many colors need to be done with the Kougra still?)

Well that might explain why they only made one new color for the techos and it isn't even really a good color. They're working on revamping them. Or more likely they bored and didn't feel like doing anything with the techos this year :P

Yeah, the glowing techo is really flate and boring. I think they could make glowing a really cool colour, instead of just bright green.

Hating the av. Stupid flash game avatars. Grr!

...Techos deserve more treatment! I was wondering why they got no new colors. I hope the revamps will be nice cause I love Tyrannian techo, but it's so messed up that I couldn't bear to have my Techo on my spare being one. >_<
I still wanna know what the heck that fur by the tyrannian Techo's eye is suppose to be...I thought it was the fur jacket, but...eww.


Hope TNT just make them like the current picks of Techos have been. :)

Kougra still have a bunch left to finish...mainly Mara kougra. *whistles*

Mon Sep 13, 2004 10:39 pm

I always thought techos looked cool and didnt really need a makeover.... watch out TNT, or I might whip out my "Revamp the tuskaninny" sign again :lol:

22 Kougra's still need a revamp:

13 Basic poses with add-ons (Including Halloween and Pirate)

3 Probablie-will-get-ones (Maraquan, Robot and Mutant)

2 Just-revamped (Tyrannian, Faerie)

4 Probably-not-getting-one (Baby, Plushie, Royalboy, Royalgirl)

So really it'll probably just be 16 left that need one. And just because they said they were next in line, it doesn't mean that they will overlap the Kougras. Quick subtle changes are always great, anyway.

I agree..

Techo day is a serious bummer. One new color? And a colorfil at that..

What's the point if they are going to be redoing them soon anyway? I'd rather them spend their time doing better things than doing new pet colours that they are just going to have to redo in 2 or 3 weeks anyway.

Nice point. I never thought of that..

But still,even with a revamp they could have gotten Royal or Grey....

Eh...while the Tuska is in ultra-dire need of a revamp, Techo's aren't too far away...
