Thanks for this question and interest in the item :) The history of Yeti Doll (this is the real name of the item) is quite long!

The first version of this sprite was created in 2017 and was originally intended to represent TibiaBosses.com, but with a bit of humility, I decided it wasn't good enough and suggested another spriter. I found this doll to be lame and unattractive, so it was forgotten for the next 4 years.

It looked like this at the time:

Another version of this sprite was created in 2021 for a contest organized by TibiaGallery.com, where it did not take any place on the podium.

Although Yeti Doll was not considered as a fansite item for TibiaFanart, as a result of several things, I was convinced by the idea and created the final version of the item, which was introduced into the game on 23.08.2022.

 

Here you can see how the item changed over the years:

I have presented here the history of the item very briefly, there were a few complications along the way, but if you are curious about the whole history and details, or just want to see more graphics related to this sprite, I invite you to the article "YETI DOLL", on TibiaFanart.com!
