All of these avatars are exquisite, indeed! I commend the artists' efforts on them... 
I agree, though, that their release seemed much too soon. It might have been fantastic, had they come out a little later--perhaps, around the time of New Year's. Their aesthetic certainly pairs well with that celebration...
I, also, find myself a tad overwhelmed; with the sheer number of premium avatars being churned out. Indeed, the "market" feels too saturated, at this point in time. Hence, I empathise with the viewpoints of my fellow players. Particularly, when they express their thoughts and concerns on how the charm and uniqueness of these special avatars seemed diminished; because of such close-quarter, back-to-back launches.
Whilst I understand the demand, as well as the goal (profit-wise), perhaps a better balance could be struck in timing future releases...

Incredible work, I hope you let them make the shard avatars from now on. They definitely know how to give justice to the male avatars for once.
