The Ancient Lantern just so happens to have the colors and background I need to fix the grayscale lineup I’ve been working on, so definitely going with that! I didn’t even consider winning as an option, so it was a very welcome surprise. I also like purple the most as a color anyway, so I probably would’ve picked it regardless.
 
I didn’t vote in this poll because I couldn’t choose between cursed or ancient, but now I HAVE to choose. The ancient one is my preferred color and I think it would look better in lineups, but the cursed one is brighter and more striking on its own and I like that it’s 2024 specific. What to do, what to do…
 
I'll go with Ancient, because it reminds me of lampent!

I picked the ancient lantern! It's my favourite of the 3 and I've always been a little jealous of everyone who has one, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to finally get it! I Think this is also its first rerelease since 2013, which makes this all the more special. 🥹
I never paid much attention to the Lantern collectibles before since I never won one until now, but the Ancient Lantern is actually super cute with other coordinating collectibles! I’m so happy I was able to fit it into a cohesive lineup 🥰
 
While I like all of them, I think I feel the strongest pull toward the Ancient Lantern since it's the original and because purple is my favorite color.
Despite stating this, when I was trying to come up with ways to actually use the Ancient Lantern in lineups, I was having some difficulty. So I tried looking at what I could do with the Sinister Lantern and the Cursed Lantern.

I had an idea for the Sinister Lantern that I liked, but I ultimately ended up just letting them send me the Cursed Lantern since I like the idea I have for that one the most.

Aesthetically, I still like the Ancient Lantern the most of the three as an individual collectible. But hey. Hopefully the lanterns will return someday and hopefully I'll get another crack at it. Unless they make a yellow or orange one, in which case I'd probably go for that.
