This is a non-profit organization they aren't rich they don't have fat stacks and super pacs, and If you want 4.0 or them fixing bugs and glitches then they need that money in order to do so, so that's why this exist because you get perks like Sprites and that Xperiential thingy which shows people faces that includes Scratchers who are well known and haven't show them because duh this is Scratch.

This is my opinion and snip your quotes while your at it.

I mean, it says that they're “early-access”, so you can obviously backpack as soon as you find them or use them once they're added to the library in the future. Those previous mascots weren't released under the idea of a membership; these new sprites seem to have been designed specifically for this membership, which is what I suspect we'll see more of in the near future.

Though judging from the reactions, it's not like many people in this thread would like to use them anyways lol

I would have, if they changed the designs to look like the rest of the mascots

The problem isn’t that they’re paywalled. The problem is that they’re paywalled and look bad. It’s like advertising a ultra-healing fruit to raise funds and giving you a deformed banana that will haunt your nightmares

They look stupid. I want the designs to be changed.

wow yall are harsh
i def wouldnt count them into the team but with some reworking i could see them being interesting
also a good base to build off more species in the scratch universe

positives aside why deos zepto look so much like gobo LoL

We should start a revolt to scratch to get them to change the designs to look like the rest of the scratch mascot’s style and also to remove scratch membership

first of all they need donations and this is a way to donate with benefits to the person donating
and second this is a favor, they didnt need to make new sprites but they did, its okay. we dont need a “revolt” like what if someone gave you a gift you didnt like and you yelled at them until they bought you a better one…….

and it says early access, they will be open to the public eventually
but i do agree that they should have put a little more thought into making them look part of the crew. zepto is kinda scary and millis arms are wierd to me
i think all the hate is a bit much though

Literally it’s not that bad. Milli could probably need a few tweaks and zepto an expression and few design changes and they’ll absolutely fit. We do not need an entire revolt.

Yes, a revolt is too much obviously, but I still think the designs are creepy.
I saw someone say they looked like labubus, but i also thought they look like a character from a specific banned horror franchise with eyes just like Millis. Zeptos eyes are creepier. The designs just look plain, and the outlines/poses look especially off.
There’s weirder sprites in the sprite or costume library, but none are mascots. These two being mascots is kinda weird.

Shouldn't this be closed like I said earlier because we know what they look like.

Yes, and I said that for people who wanna talk about the sprites themselves, (which this is not about) then go there.

This has 3 pages when it got answered in the first post.

Okay, here's my opinion:
Zepto looks a little creepy, his expression an eyes need to be changed a little. Milli is okay - she might need to be changed a little bit - they should look more like the original team.
Also, Scratch does need money at some point for 4.0 or so, so I understand what they are trying to do, and it makes sense.
As for a revolt? No. That is too much and unnessacary.
