my favorite july collectible is Black Wolf of 2009 because it reflex a spirit animal in the avatars for me is one of the greatest items on gaia, and it have a great quantity in objects like the wolfs eyes are great ninja
My Favorite July Monthly Collectible would have to be Enchanted Strings, because I used to play the violin, and it just fit my personality! Plus it was super cool that there were THREE monthly collectibles that month!
I would definitely have to say koi from '09. The colors are elegant and I absolutely love the fan and tattoo. It's also very well drawn; fits the avi perfectly. smile
The Ancient Katana has many forms that can be incorperated into any outfit. It is the only item (That I think) that can be used in different forms. It also is an amazing item and also an expensive item now. (To me) I believe the Ancient Katana is best Monthly Collectibles of July I have ever seen. It also reminds me of Sasuke and the use of his sword.
The Winter Rose. It contains the absolute most beautiful formal gown on Gaia as well as other beautiful accessories, such as flower petals in the air around your avatar.
June 2011: Celestial veil. The item is elegant, versatile, and works well with angelic halo, a classic MC. Also, the art released on that month to promote it was great.
