Its already released, its an AIM icon I believe.

oh ok, thanks


No problem. Neopets should really change the URLs of the AIM icons.. otherwise, people get them confused.


It's not that they changed the URLs... they were at some point actual "secret avatars" When the lastest neoboards were released, some of the AIM buddy icons were available as secret avatars for about an hour or so (avatars like the "Soup Faerie" and "I love Rock" avs are remains of that.)
They just never removed those extra avs from the directory.

To further expand on this...

When the Neoboard system was in Alpha and Beta testing the avatars available were the default ones only. So they could check everything was working properly The Neopets Team added some of the AIM Buddy icons to the Avatar folder and got the beta testers to check everything with finding new avatars etc was working properly

When they released the Neoboards to the public they forgot about these icons in the Avatar folder so all were available for people to use on the Neoboards, when they realised what they had done they removed the AIM Buddy icons from the usuable list but they remained in the avatar folder on their computers and on the images server

Every now and then they release them or change them slightly and then release them but to quote Neopets

"The majority of the AIM icons in the avatar folder will never be released to the Neopian Public"

The brown bit of the eyes look really odd for some reason...Ghost pets are just glowing pets with red eyes in my opinion... If they look more like those ghosts in NQII I'd probly want one :/

Ghost Neopets aren't really ghosts, they're just really Neopets in costumes.
