Series 3
The picture pretty much sums it up.. Hit the JAKKS Page to add them all to your wishlist!
Also, the Barcodes page has been updated to include the new figure packs (DPCI 086-08-1391) so that they're easier to locate once you get to Target. They and the series two plushies are hitting stores now!
Available May 9th at your local Target store, Neopets Collector Figures! Each pack comes with one Neopet, one Petpet, and two accessories! These are just a taste of what's to come. Check out the Jakks Page for a full list of Collector Figures to be released alongside Series 3 of the Plushies in June!
The question I've gotten the most since opening this website is "Will my local store be getting the new Plushies?" and to be truthful, I don't really know.
This is where you come in!
I've obtained the UPC (Universal Product Code - number that makes up the Barcode) codes for some of the upcoming items. You can bring these to your local store and scan them, and if the information comes up in the system, then you know that that store will be receiving them!
DPCI is what Target calls their item numbers, SKN is what Toys 'R' Us calls theirs. The third box is for Wal-Mart. I would be more than happy to add other numbers if you come across them, especially stores from other parts of the world! (just because the number is used by Target in the USA, doesn't mean that it will have the same number at Target in another country)
Also be advised that even if these barcodes don't scan, it does not necessarily mean your store won't be receiving the items. For example, Target will be carrying the 3-packs of figures, and series 3 of the plushies, but the item numbers haven't been added to their system yet.
Included exclusively at Target with this past tuesdays DVD release of Spongebob "Pest of the
West" is a Neopets Promotional CD-Rom
It contains some of the Neovision videos that appeared on Nickelodeon as well as six Neopets
games, information on the new merchandise releases, as well as a short video (which also
aired on Nickelodeon) that explains Neopets!
Series 2! Posted by: Joe On April 21 2008 2:20:28pm NST
Series 2!
Images for series two have been added to the database! Keep an eye out for them in
the coming weeks at your local Target store! They will have the same DPCI (Target item
number) as series one, which will make them a bit tougher to track down. Don't forget, once
series two is released, Series one will be retired and no longer available!
The KeyQuest page has been
updated with the new tokens as well.
Check out ourJAKKS Plushies page for an updated list (including series four!) as well as some info on the line and information on the upcoming Neopets Figures and Playsets!
This information is by no means official, and subject to change at the flip of the lever of doom, but as of now it is a list of the plushies for series three (July).

Many of these are featured in the Video I posted a few days ago, all but the Flotsam.. (that is definitely a Purple Scorchio in the box) Which is why I will not be adding these to the item catalog until I have some more concrete information
Neopets is releasing a game that uses Adobe's Air runtime. Adobe Air allows developers to create programs that connect to the internet without browsers and run across many different operating systems. (more information, and sample programs can be found at Adobe Air) Below is a video from Adobe's Engage event where it was announced. The game will be released late April-early May of this year.
Our friends over at Jellyneo have also found a cool screenshot!
You can now create your own Neopets Merchandise wishlist here at Neomerch.com! select the items you want and then send your list to all your friends!
You are also able to create a list of your collection! keep detailed records of all of your Neopets stuff!
Click "Add to Wishlist" or "Add to My Collection" on any item detail page to get started. (clicking one of these for the first time creates your list in the system) Afterwards, click Your Wishlist or Your Collection on the left menu to edit it.
You will need to have a registered account to create either (click register on the top right) Check out Sample lists here: Wishlist Collection
This system is in BETA what that means is that there may be some weird bugs or things that don't work right. If you come across anything odd, please use the contact us link on the left menu to let me know. If you could provide as much detail as possible as to what you were doing when it happened I'd appreciate it!
I am aware of a minor bug when adding an item to either list. It should display a confirmation message, but it does not. Also, items listed on your lists are sorted in a way that only makes sense to the database, I'm working on it as I type this, and it should sort (by default) by item name, and you'll be able to autosort by release date, type, etc.
Thanks to all for visiting the site while I was working on setting this up, and as always, please feel free to use the contact us link if you have any comments/questions/suggestions/etc/
