in the MMO I worked on we had shoulder chickens, shoulder Golems and something else for the shoulder (can't remember what is was, but I wanna say it was one of the mobs you could hunt, like maggots or something)
Granted these were something we palyed around with using our GM Uber Powers and we were required not to wear them when we were on the other servers...because they weren't sure they were ever going to make them available to the customers... just like the tie die boxer shorts... lol yes we had special clothes, not because we were GM's it was special Items you were supposed to be able to get if bought the game in certain stores, it was going to include a code that would unlock that option. the deals all fell through, I think, cause one day word came from on high that we weren't even supposed to call them into existence anymore and we had to delete the ones we had.
Although I did get a pretty good shot of all of us dressed in Tie Die Boxer shorts and funny t-shirts with shoulder animals in the GM area before we deleted them... I'll have to see if I can find that shot.

NOOOOOOOO!
You brought the memories BACK! Begone Horizons! Back to the depths of my brain with thee!
One of the others was a shoulder Cow with party-hat.
And all the poor Pirates out there are going to be upset with no Shoulder Parrots. Argh!
Maybe we should get some Shoulder Badgers as well?
Hmmmm
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
OK. I've got the Goth look on my bubbler, compelte with tatoos on her arms. She has her SG costume.
But ...
Can't ... control ... self ... must ... make ... cute ... costume ... pandas ... giggling ... fainting ...

That's right the Cow... I always used the Chicken cause I was infamous for making an indestructible chicken to test the rooting spells on, (and by Chicken I mean several, at once...um like 1000 there were chickens all over that patch till the server wipe...we never did catch them all..heh heh)

Anyone heard if we are going to get a free costume repec with the release or the ablity to adjust size and features at least once for all current characters.
Maybe a tailer mission for the feature readjustment for example.
[/ QUOTE ]
This is what I have been wondering for weeks. Since red names are posting in this thread, maybe this is the place to ask. We must be allowed to adjust body type with old heroes. I'd prefer if we were given it once for free, but we definitely need the option. I've got 14 heroes across 2 different servers, and I'm not about to re-start any of them just to redesign them with new costume options.
And thanks to Megajoule for the link to the screenshots. Very informative, getting to see some of the new menus and options and how it will work. Some nice shots of the body and head sliders in there.

I agree.. I even don't care if they charge us or don't give us a freebie (althought that would be nice) Because my grav controller is supposed to be like 13, but she's got a larger chest and more hips than any 13 year old would have. My main is supposed to be a little less endowed too, she's supposed to be 16 or so. I'd also Like the chance to adjust the facial features on one or two of my alts a little.
and it would be a shame to throw away 39 levels of work to remake Lain to look 13 and there's no way I'd throw out 50 Levels on Ami... but I would still like her to look right.

Positron, I believe it was, mentioned quite a while back in a thread about how the body sliders would be implimented (in Icon, or something else, like a gym) that if Icon could add on tails and mechanical arms, they'd have no problem putting a few pounds onto a hero. So, that seems to be very clearly saying we'll be able to alter current characters with the new sliders.
And seeing the shots on Gamespot, I now know that my main tanker is going to put on a few pounds. It'll be sweet.
All those face sliders scare me, though. Can I mess with a face I've gotten so used to?

We're all still missing the key issue here: Stuffed shoulder kittens.
Best costume option ever? I say yes.

((Loki)) Actually, I think the shoulder-Pandas are cooler.

Daddy speak truth. And Panda's yummy....
Rend this space....
Son of a..!!! Shoulder Badgers!! 5 stars for you my friend because on top of that, you included that priceless link. Haven't seen that one! 
I have one toon that would pay good money for any sort of animal backpack and BOY will he be upset if they're only for girls...
Also, please to include shoulder llamas at some point.
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*cough cough* sorry *~~Ahem~~* AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEE THIS ROCKS!!!!!
A reply from the CEO about in-game features... or the CEO using the God of Chaos as his namesake... I don't know which is cooler. =)
As you can perhaps tell, sir, we eagerly await the release of I4. This has, oddly, given me something in it to look forward to.
(I'd have used the name, but it was taken. Now I know by who, and, um... well, I approve.)
I'm such a geek. Some of my heroes have journals.

You can see the sliders in action at gamespot, the screenshot with the different models (female/huge/male) is at the character creation screen.
but the is another screenshot from within ICON and you can play with the sliders for body parts, different sub-body models and the height.
First Loki then Fenris. Hel and the Midgard Serpent should be showing up anytime now

Nope, I beat them both to the punch.
YES!
I too am a bit of a fashion freak, in my own way. I like looks to fit characters and their powers. I also need a sense of style.
Robes! Non-whorey skirts! Shoes! Jackets! Body sliders! YES!
THANK YOU DEVS!
I am worried that people might forget about all the kewl old stuff though.
Oh well, old costumes will be altered, new ones will be made, and new chars made to fit specific costumes.
That's how my Emp/Psy defender was created, was just messing with the costume creator and just had to do it.

What have I seen so far? (from the gamespot pics and the ones in the fashion preview)
"Tied" gloves and boots - kinda like wrapped, but more like the ones the redhead in green next to statesman on the opening screen has on her wrists.
Tight pants lower legs that tuck into shoes. Right now if you pick tight pants, you get one option for lower legs - straight leg pants and shoes. New options seem to include cuffs as well as the tucked in/legging look one.
Sneakers, short boots. Other new shoe options promised like sandals and slippers, but those were all I saw so far.
Plaid skirts. Also, pleated skirts. Appears to be in three lengths, the current supermini, a regular mini, and an above-knee skirt length. Also, the ability to wear patterned stockings on the upper legs under the skirt. (5th element pattern stockings below plaid skirt is shown)
A split skirt that goes down to mid-calf (loose 3/4 pants look).
A long "robe" that goes down to just above the knee, a shorter "robe" that hangs only a little way down the hips, a vest, a closed jacket, an open jacket, and a little bolero jacket. Each jacket seems to mix-n-match with various sleeves - none, raggedy super-short, short cuffed, elbow length, 3/4 length, long cuffed... notice the separate robe/sleeve selection bars. I did not spot any robes over robotic arms - we'll have to wait to see if that is possible.
A few new patterns other than the above - a few new hairstyles - looks like a lot! I can't wait to play with it

please please please let them give us a respec............ OH ALMIGHTY DEVS IF YOU CAN HEAR ME PLEASE GIVE US A HERO SIZE/PROPRTION RESPEC................amen
Like someone said in the past, since Icon can outfit heroes with robotic arms, replace them back with real arms, and even add tails the idea of adding some pounds and some height might not be out of the question. If thats true, we may not even need to worry about a body slider respec, or whatever you want to call it.

I am so looking forward to this! All the things I have already seen are great! But, what's this? There's more!?
AS for the whole shoulder-critters, Guys should really get the option for a Shoulder-hamster.

I'd like to see the guys get shoulder parrots and the shoulder hamster isn't a bad idea either.

I Wonder if we can have different body slide settings, for each costume slot?
I think that would be pretty cool, I had a teenage looking idea for 1 of my slots, when I exempler down to the teens, to team with friends.
Or if you adjust the body slide, it affects all 4 slots?
Also, For low people, you don't have to get to lvl 20, to visit Icon. I'm assuming you can change Costume Slot # 1, with this at Icon, plus, it looks like you have it for new toons as well.
