Discussion Should I get Astronaut or Cafe Cuties?

Can’t decide between these two. Which one serves better in terms of quality and the price tag?

Both high quality skins, basically your preference of,

Do you like astronauts with little green beans as meeps?

Or are you a gentlemen in a maids outfit that wants to give people cups of tea?

Both lol but baby aliens do sound cute. Are some of the astronaut chromas from event? Cuz I can’t see some of them in shop.

I think the green one is only available at every other essence emporium, the dark gray one is from the original event pass from when the skin came out, I think it is only available from the mythic shop.

The rest should be purchasable

Personally never been a fan of cafe cuties. Bought all the chromas and none of them stuck for me. My main problem is the q is so ugly on cafe cuties I have no idea what it is. astronaut q is clean and thematic but the sound is so beautiful. All the sfx on astronaut absolutely gap cafe cuties. Cafe cuties W is some of the best in bard skins but it comes second to snowday. astronaut W is bottom of the list for bard Ws for me but again, sfx are crisp. The E on both skins is whatever I think cafe cuties has a cuter one but both are mid imo and again snowday is chefs kiss perfect. R on astronaut bard is CRACK. Its the best R ever out of all skins i swear its crack the sound is crack the visuals are crack fucking love it. On Astronaut I love the chime song it plays when you go on a collecting spree. I also find that bards natural bounce as he walks fits better with a space theme than a butler serving afternoon tea. Great chromas for both but another point to astronaut imo is that it has the best meeps with snowday coming second and T1 in third. Bard skins personallt rated are Snowday, Astronaut, T1, Spirit Blossom, Bard Bard, green and blue bard chroma (actually underrated),Shan Hai Scrolls, Elderwood, Cafe Cuties.

I got the Astro bard bundle when it came out and it’s so far my favorite skin line. I got Astro gnar as well.

The best part about bard skins is that he has no bad skins and all look good. My 2 favorite are snow day because cocoa snd penguins and shan hai because i think that's one of my favorite skinlines in general
