They just released a 2015 Baby Coin Set and it looks like a Neopet. I swear I've seen it somewhere before. Maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me.

 

Does this look like a Neopet?

No... it looks like a pudgy stuffed bear.

 

Are you thinking it looks like a Polarchuck? That's the closest resemblance I can figure.

Kinda looks like a polarchuck but kinda looks like a teddy bear, too. I'd go with no, but it's always fun to say 'that looks familiar' yes?

Yeah, it looks a lot like a Polarchuck, but that bear is cute on that coin!

lol it looks like a less happy plushie polarchuck with long arms. That's an adorable coin but I don't think they had any influence from neopets. It does remind me of the petpet, though I feel like I always have neo on the brain! lol

 

you know you've been playing neo too long when...... :P hehe

It does actually look like that Polarchuck plushie with a slightly different shape and longer arms, but honestly it's generic enough that it's unlikely.

You only have to change something by 10% to call it your own. The longer arms would be 10%. But it is totally adorable!

I don't think the likelyhood of the coin was intentional. Especially not for a site that barely seems to see 10k people WORLDWIDE.

However regardless of that, that's not exactly important.

 

Although yes, I can see some similarities to a Polarchuck,there isn's enough similarities to call it a copyright. Especially because I believe the law has been changed and you can now consider something your own after only changing... I forget if it's 10-15% of the original.

Either way, I DOUBT there was intent, even if there was, OR wasn't. I don't think Neopets CAN or WILL do anything about it anyway.

I once thought that of a CGI humming bird used by Samsung in aTV advert of theirs shown here in the U.K.

It closely resembled one of Valenth.com's pets! lol
