The Toy Peophin is based on the Dalahorse, a small wooden horse (traditionally painted red) that has been produced in a certain area in Sweden for several centuries and has become a national symbol. They sell them in some tourist shops in Norway as well, I recognized it instantly and was so excited that TNT had taken inspiration from this and created a more unique Toy Neopet! It looks beautiful and I love it. Toy was not the colour I was hoping for, but from the colours Peophins still need, we could have gotten Clay, Gold or Invisible(!) for example, so I am very happy with this.
The outfit is based on Marak (also called The Wave) one of the protectors of Altador. From JellyNeo Book Of Ages:
"One of the twelve protectors of Altador, also known as "The Wave." Once the leader of a clan of Peophins and known as the Peophin Waverider, Marak defended them when a nearby village of fishermen attacked. Altador recognized this great act, and thus, Marak became a protector of Altador. He and his tribe now live off the Altador coast."
I love these cosplay outfits that TNT have been making lately, and look forward to seeing more! I will definitely be getting the complete outfit for my Peophin (wig and all, lol) The trident is my favourite piece, but I also love that the headdress (not sure what to call it) is also included, I think silver looks better than gold.
