I agree with astronomygeek-- I'm disappointed by the new direction the cards are going. I miss the beautiful art. (and I don't think the chibis are cute either!)
But I ordered a pack of chibis cards so I'll post what they're actually like when I get them.

Ok! chibis cards! This card set feels like it was designed for a younger audience than the collectable cards. The border and art are simplified and the herd symbols are bigger. Kind of a "duplos rather than legos" vibe. If you've seen the rules of the game these cards are meant to make you'll see what I mean-- very simple.
My pack had one shiny card, 4 nonshiny. Each card has the picture on top, the horse/critter's name in the middle, and a symbol for use in the game on the bottom. The horses have their "positive message" and the magical friends have a short quote or fact. (Did you know sweetpea reindeer are in fact the size of peas?)
The art is a complete change from the individual paintings on previous cards. The characters are inflated into pillowy chibis. I got two horses, two critters, and Shine Anders. The magical friends are kind of cute, but horses simply don't chibify well. Also the two horse cards I got clearly used the same original image just with different colors and the hair and wings/horns added. They didn't even get someone to draw the images separately. Also the characters' eyes are flat black with shines, which looks ok on the critters but on the human it's kinda creepy ^^; Actually poor Shine looks kind of like a baby doll and not at all like an actual chibi character from anime.
So... yeah, I'm disappointed. When the pretty art comes back, I will come back to collecting, but I'm not going to buy any more of this series.
