The Annual Avatar Assembly!

Welcome one, welcome all! It's that time of year where we once again take a look at all the new avatars that have been released in the past year, and Koi has it been a doozy! From stamps to games, to toys and even some super secret random ones mixed in, this past year has allowed Neopians to express themselves in new and exciting ways (or to just add a few more numbers to their vast collections - I see you out there avatar collectors). You may be asking yourself "What is an avatar and who even cares!?". So before we dive into this year's new editions, let's have a quick refresher shall we? Avatars are fun, varied, and awesome icons that can be used to either express yourself or to show off your achievements from around Neopia when chatting to others on either the Neoboards or in your Guild. There are 100s of them to collect and flaunt, and each avatar has a unique way of being found and collected. Many Neopians from Meridell to Maraqua care about collecting them and working each day towards a new avatar goal, with there even a section on the Neoboards devoted to discussing them. If you weren't an avatar collector before, maybe this article will inspire you to nab some new ones or maybe you'll spot a specific avatar that you want to track down for yourself.
