Another Antu has hit the towers, kids. Much like with the Silk Road Souvenir series, I can't really be disappointed no matter who's inside this box. This is the Bestiary of All Spirits. Again, we have 'taurs, but this time they're not exactly equine.
These girls have little paws instead of hooves, and somewhat leonine tails. Did I call it? Do we have Fu dogs at last? I...do not know. The package translation doesn't clarify exactly what Antu has become this time, though the names might imply some of the end results (if you're up on your Chinese mythology).
I got Qingji. Now, you know me by now. I had to go looking and see who or what she's supposed to be. The various sources I dug up mention a general, a pagoda, and mythologically speaking...a marsh spirit. Okay... well, the green and yellow could be marshy. As for the meaning of her name - I do not know Chinese and can't match the characters here as written to anything showing up in searches - opinions vary widely.

| Apparently it can also mean 'anxious'. Thanks, Google. |
Anxious fits, from almost every angle XD
She's built the same way Neon is, just maybe a touch thinner? Her signature Antu horn is a little more traditional-looking than the usual, and her eyes have a ton of little details in the irises. In among all the eyeshines is something that looks like a lotus or some sort of flower. Her hairstyle is sort of like Shimmer's in that she has both buns and little pigtails.
Speaking of details, I'm going to have to start checking every surface from here on out. Qingji has little beans sculpted into her paws.
She comes with the Antu standard extra hands (love heart/holding something and clasped pair), some absolutely tiny bracelets and a necklace, and a solid little three-piece outfit.

| Uppies? |
She was pretty easy to dress. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about Penny's Box going deep into the fashion weeds with these little bitty ribbons (more on that in the future), but I still have the manual dexterity to tie them, at least. Qingji's are the least egregious.

| She's a Coppertone kid for sure. |
She's also ridiculously fun to take pictures of, so I had to get a few of her meeting her cousins.
 |
| Oooh, pretty~ |
 |
| Why is yours in a jar? |
 |
| You don't even have feet! |
 |
| Wanna see my paws? They're fluffy! |
