Since It's Winter, After All...

This one's a two-parter!

What do Frozen Armor, Wet Ice, Glacial Armor, and Energy Absorption have in common?

They both use that same, bulky, clunky ice armor model that's been around since beta and hasn't been looked at/updated once.
Don't get me wrong, I know how the community can take a single tiny change and make it into Armageddon, but I think that Ice Armor deserves a bit more love; give it some additional models for armor! A few things less bulky/clunky-- hell, make it shiny once GR hits stores and it'll look more like ice!
All I'm saying is that when 4 out of 9 powers in a set give you the same-looking armor, it could use some tweaking.

Part #2!

Ice Control is an awesome powerset! It truly is, but as I was looking over Earth Control, I was fascinated that you can use Crystals/Lava instead of Earth! That was pretty awesome! It made me think 'Why can't we do this for anything else?'
Ice Armor came to mind.
I'd like to propose an alternate set of meshes/textures; SNOW!
That's right- snow. For some of these, you could take the Earth Control animations, smooth them over and color them white and it'll look more than convincing, I'd like to say! (Then again, SCR applies.)
For the Tier 9? You build a Snowman; not quite a Winter Lord, but something that looks almost similar to the Coral Guardians, but with a smoother mesh.

Is this acceptable to the community as an idea?

Since they´re gonna be ALTERNATIVES why not? :-)

/Signed. I like em, and more options are good.

Variety? Yes! Alternate? Yes!
Personally, staring at the Ice Armor ice cubes for a while doesn't really excite me, so I like the idea of having an option.
I'm fine with Ice Control, but once again...Variety? Yes!

I dont have a problem with this, and personally believe that it is most likely 'in the pipe' (until BAB says otherwise) since there have already been changes made to some 'Armor/Body' bits already via Customization.

It's just a matter of time/priority.
