A crying bride, an armoured dragon-lady and a legendary swordsman gather in this weekend sale. They haven’t been away for long, around 8 months actually, but they are back. Things look rather promising still so let’s see where it all ends.

Conclusion:
As an apparition, Ghost Bride Morgana manages to convey the message quite well. Not only is her wedding dress rather nice, though not without flaws, but her new particles were good enough to be the base of Classic’s recent update. This also means that they don’t shine as they used too yet the skin is still attractive even if not supernatural enough. All in all, it’s a very fine skin for fans of the Fallen Angel.
Classy, practical and appealing, Ironscale Shyvana’s new armour is very well designed. The dragon’s armour and physiology follows the same characteristics of her human armour making for a cohesive look. As far as re-models go Ironscale is a great choice.
Simple but eloquent Samurai Yi does a good job at transforming the Master of Wuju into a follower of Bushido. There are evident remnants from his classic design and the skin could’ve offered more convincing armour. Regardless, it’s an effective skin at a low price so fans will find it quite a good choice.

Conclusion:
When you need to cut on IP expenses a big axe might come in handy, like the one Darius so expertly handles, but that also means quite a bit of RP. The Monkey King would also gladly give a hand but all of Wukong’s monkey business means that it’s not as much IP. Finally, despite Singed’s chemical expertise IP economics isn’t one of his interests: that’s probably why his IP price is so low.
Speaking of chemistry, last March Darius offered Bioforge suits at a discount; for those brave enough to try such technology. Those that prefer furs probably preferred the August carnage brought by the Woad King; though that may not be for everybody. Perhaps Lord Darius could provide an alternative but his frugal dinners from May seem to indicate he’s not very popular.
Leaving the Underworld aside, we saw the Monkey King in his General uniform in December; nothing out of the ordinary. However, that was our only chance since before that time he only appeared in March of 2014 as a Jade Dragon. Worse even is that his Volcanic enthusiasm hasn’t appeared since December 2013. Therefore, Wukong should think about leaving a decoy and attend sales more often.
Experiments usually keep Singed away from sales and hidden in his lab; as a Mad Scientist should. Nevertheless, that’s part of the past now. The fact that his Augmented serum has been so successful as to be on sale in December means that he’s turning a good profit. Perhaps that means that we’ll see his Hextech suit again before August comes again. At any rate, this all makes him very busy which is why he hasn’t taken any holidays since February 2015; he’s quite the Surfer.
