rosemaryxrue Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Hello! I discovered the existence of Fish Fingers and Custard recently after watching Doctor Who obsessively, and I'm wondering what other geeky items like this might be around. Has anyone else found anything? What about related to other fandoms? Item description for Fish Fingers and Custard: Box falls out of the sky, Neopet eats fish custard! Quote
Anukai Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The Long Silver Wig wearable is a reference to Game of Thrones; it's description is, "WHERE ARE MY CYODRAKES?!" Dawn* 1 Quote
faerie1811 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Drillaroot and Gurrandrillge are (to my best guess) both references to the anime "Gurren Lagann" though only the item names and images are references as the descriptions don't hint at the anime at all Quote
Marae19 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The whole Spooky Food Eating Contest plot on halloween 2013 was a reference to supernatural. I'm still bummed I didn't get that avvie, but oh well. But seriously, it were just neopet-versions of Sam and Dean. (if you don't know it, here's the avvie: ) standalonefrank and bijyuarukei 2 Quote
Musical_Shoyru Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The Retro Usuki Hair Set looks like the buns Princess Lea has in Star Wars, but it doesn't reference anything. Quote
hrtbrk Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The Long Silver Wig wearable is a reference to Game of Thrones; it's description is, "WHERE ARE MY CYODRAKES?!" I'm also pretty sure the Tribal Draik outfit is also a Daenerys reference! There's also a bunch of Michael Jackson and Firefly outfits. It's really cool :D Quote

It's really cool :D Ooh, Firefly? Do you remember the names of any of the items? I love Firefly and anything Joss Whedon. mtsparky 1 Quote
hrtbrk Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I believe there are some draik and grundo clothes. I also remember them drawing a marquee that was of a scene from the show. I just cannot locate it right now. One of our staff members is a huge Firefly fan so hopefully she posts with more information, if she can recall what they are. Quote
acorah Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Packet of gravel is from Monty Python. There`s another Python thingy too but my brain is napping Quote
rosemaryxrue Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Packet of gravel is from Monty Python. There`s another Python thingy too but my brain is napping I know Shrubbery (of various forms) is around, and that's also a Python reference. I think there might be an item that references the coconuts being knocked together to make the sound of horses. *goes to find* ETA: And the item is Half Coconut Shell: When you bang two of these together they make a nice clip clopping sound. acorah and rowtiderow 2 Quote
The Darkest Faerie Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I know they used to have a Pokeball, but for copyright reasons it became a normal red and white ball. I was sad that my Pokeball transformed... Quote
Angeló Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The Two Ring A reference to the Lord of the Rings. Marae19 1 Quote
Songbirdsara Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 One of my favorite aspects of Neopets has always been the references! I'm pretty sure that the Smooth Black Sphere is a reference to the Void Ship from Doctor Who, and I've always assumed that the Grim Faerie statue was a Weeping Angel reference. Plus, the text at the top of the inventory page definitely seems to reference the whole "bigger on the inside" joke. I also love the Dark Villain Usuki Doll (Darth Vader) and the Singing Star Usuki Dolls (Destiny's Child) :) Quote
jellysundae Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Oh gosh, I love the references, I've spotted loads over the years. Of course I can't think of a single one of them at the moment >< Quote
The Darkest Faerie Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Whilst shopping via the Shop Wizard I spotted Cheerful Sponge Kiko Plushie - a reference in appearance to Spongebob Squarepants. Gotta love these fortunate surprises :D Quote
Dawn* Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 The Long Silver Wig wearable is a reference to Game of Thrones; it's description is, "WHERE ARE MY CYODRAKES?!" OMG. I need this item. Like nao. I hope it isn't a NC item. Also, I really want to know about those Firefly items! I loooove Firefly! (And Buffy. Any Buffy references?) Quote
jellysundae Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 The Dramatic Chipmunk wears Dramatic Meepit Eye Shadow :laughingsmiley: I found a guide! We heard you liked spinning the Wheel of Monotony... Now you can spin the Wheel of Monotony while spinning the Wheel of Monotony! The Miniature Wheel of Monotony is a reference to the Xzibit meme xD rosemaryxrue and rowtiderow 2 Quote
Angeló Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 oh and speaking of Doctor Who , The Grim Faerie Statue is a reference to the Weeping Angels from the show ... rosemaryxrue 1 Quote

Gotta love these fortunate surprises :D I knew about this one. It is the only plushie I do not want in my gallery, because I really, really don't like Spongebob. I made the mistake of telling a fellow guildie this, and he sent me six of them. -.- The Dramatic Chipmunk wears Dramatic Meepit Eye Shadow :laughingsmiley: I found a guide! We heard you liked spinning the Wheel of Monotony... Now you can spin the Wheel of Monotony while spinning the Wheel of Monotony! The Miniature Wheel of Monotony is a reference to the Xzibit meme xD Ooh, guides! Awesome, thank you for sharing! oh and speaking of Doctor Who , The Grim Faerie Statue is a reference to the Weeping Angels from the show ... Yay! Doctor Who references! (I did see the comment earlier about it, but hadn't looked it up. Now I want one...) jellysundae 1 Quote
casperiscaptain Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I think Johnny Depp might own his own Colourful Pirate Wig for when he films Pirates of the Caribbean. WHAT?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED? /swoons/ Marae19 1 Quote

jellysundae Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I'd be amazed if there's no Buffy refs anywhere. I'd like to know what the items were though. Quote

I'm not entirely sure which items you're referring to. The Kaylee outfit? Something else? I know there's a vampire hunter stake of some kind. That might be a Buffy reference or just a vampire reference; it's hard to tell. I've been trying to create a Captain Jack Harkness outfit, but the only decent suspenders I've found come on a bonus item from the dark prism capsule and I haven't received it despite quite a few opened capsules. Still working on it. I would love to make character outfits. Quote
Anukai Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 It seems there have been quite a few nerds and fans of many kinds on The Neopets Team. ;3 Quote
