There’s been a lot mixed opinions about Marapets, a virtual pet website almost identical to Neopets. Some call a cheaper knockoff of Neopets, but despite the similarities, Marapets offers some fun advantages.
Similarities
These are some of the most obvious similarities between Marapets and Neopets. Both sites let you:

Human Character
One great feature that only Marapets has is the human characters called dolls. You can create your own doll and style him or her with different hairdos, facial features, skin colors, clothes, shoes and accessories. You can even create a doll based on 12 different celebrity styles, including Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and more. Use your marapoints to shop for outfits, or buy coupons for a trip to the salon or plastic surgeon!
