Annie in wonderlAnd The Chesire Cat would not be amused—this whimsical look barely differs from the Prom Queen Annie skin, other than being twice the cost. If you’re in search of spiffy new duds for the prodigal pyromancer, try Frostfire Annie instead—this rabbit hole will only leave you feeling duped.

Truly leGendAry Blood lord VlAdiMir Vlad’s default look’s been cranked up to 11, decking him out in a spiked mantle and cape in addition to some freaking excellent new spell particle effects. Top it off with a vilain-ous new voiceover, and you’ll be sending that wimpy Edward Cullen fleeing for his life in no time.

firefiGhTer TrisTAnA Looking like a member of the Rescue Rangers, the adorable Megling Gunner takes up a giant water-blaster that sprays liquid-propelled cannonballs. Unfortunately, Trist doesn’t get any new effects. Not hot enough to call the fire department or burn a hole in your wallet.

Perfect for those who love playing Cho’
and want to look damn
sharp doing so. This
dapper monster spouts
old-timey English
sayings such as “Pip
pip,” and “Cheerio!” His
exquisite new model
sports a tuxedo, top hat,
pipe, and monocle—
befitting of those with
refined tastes.

corporATe Mundo Every Mundo player ought to invest in this snappy skin. Its value lies in the slew of hilarious corporate-world lingo that Mundo spouts into his hokey ‘90s cell phone. To complete the yuppie transformation, Mundo now throws a briefcase and struts around in business professional attire.

KoG’MAw
Bring in the new year with this Chinese
Dragon reskin. Sporting
fantastic effects, Koggy
swaps his slimy spell
effects (save for Void
Ooze) for dazzling fire-
works that explode with
a whistling pop. Nab-
bing kills with a sparkler
instead of a booger is
just so satisfying. Def-
initely worth the RP.

nunu Bo T Nunu’s circuitry wasn’t upgraded with new attack or spell animations, but the robotic rework gives him a slick animatronic feel and a new /dance. It also comes with an upgraded voiceover akin to the goofy Angry Goran video ( bit.ly/ twHNmy). A high-quality skin, worthy of a spot in any Nunu fan’s collection.

MAGnificenT Twis Ted fATe Lamer than the “coin behind the ear” trick. This disappointing reskin turns the card-tossing Twisted Fate into a full-on magician, but beyond the new hat and cape, there isn’t much else to see. Definitely spend your RP elsewhere; there just isn’t enough magic here to warrant a purchase.

red BAron corKi Even though Corki’s a high-flyer in-game, this bird is a total nose dive. The humdrum reskin turns his ordinary plane into the Red Baron’s Fokker DR 1, painted a bright fire truck red with German crosses on the wings. Only recommended to World War I buffs or diehard Snoopy fans.

deMonBlAde TryndAMere Trynd ditches his helmet and grabs an unusual sword that looks straight out of Soul Calibur, replete with orange tentacles. Besides his otherworldly weaponry, a new voice-over and special fury-gain particles complete this badass look. Highly recommended to any Tryndamere player.
