Excellent work, Zombie Man. This sets a new standard for how costume set bundles should be presented.

There is a huge problem with all these awesome pieces.
I can't tweak enough costumes to make me happy using them.
And I've already created yet another new alt (psi/mental blaster) which was a must for BRAIN IN A JAR!
And another new alt - brute fishman! (tip the insectoid selection on pants and chest looks wet, and has a similar coloration pattern to match the fish monster gloves/boots. Plus you can give it the scales pattern...)
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
R.I.P.
Chyll - Bydand - Violynce - Enyrgos - Rylle - Nephryte - Solyd - Fettyr - Hyposhock - Styrling - Beryllos - Rosyc
Horryd - Myriam - Dysquiet - Ghyr
Vanysh - Eldrytch
Inflyct - Mysron - Orphyn - Dysmay - Reapyr - - Wyldeman - Hydeous
I'd already been considering the character "Thyme in a Bottle" before due to plant/time - as such this made me log into game right before work.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Here is a new design I created with the pack, I also posted this in the costume section
Fish heads, fish heads... roly-poly fish heads.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Fin-less version of the gloves and boots, and an antennae-less Piranha head.
The fish-head is so so close to being a turtle head.. pesky antennae!

I wish those Fish Antennae were available as a detail for normal heads. I think they would look awesome on Pixie characters.

Nice work. I don't recognize that chest detail. What is it?

It's from the Tier 9 VIP Celestial Armor set. A pretty nice set in its own right, IMO.

Really, why bake a detail on like that? That head is great, but it would be a lot better if the antennae weren't obligatory and available to use elsewhere.
Do Piranhas even have those things?
Always remember, we were Heroes.

Very cool.
Im thinking of going all blaxploitation and making "The BLACK Creature from the Black Lagoon"...have to figure out a shorter name though.

As a monster movie/Halloween/Ed Wood/Hammer horror fanatic, I want to go on record as saying that I love, Love, LOVE this set!
As the kids used to say a couple of years ago, I see what you did there. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant designs. I love the homages, I love the concept, I love the humor -- I love everything about it.
Exceeeeeept for one tiny thing: the locked-in color on the Medusa face makes it impossible to match with any other skin color. I have to say I don't understand why there's any permanent tinting on any costume piece. It's always an obstacle, always frustrating and always unnecessary. If you all could just stop doing that altogether, it would be great. Instead of limiting the use of your designs and the options of your customers, shouldn't you want to be opening them up?
That perma-quibble aside (but it is a big quibble), this pack is sheer perfection. Thank you! And happy Halloween!

This sent me down a train of thought than ended in a trainwreck involving "Blackthulu".

Grecian stuff exists, but isn't sold in the store. There could be more and better sexy lingerie options. Wedding pack really doesn't cut it, IMO. The wedding outfits aren't bad, but the fact that entire stores the size of warehouses are packed with wedding dresses suggests that a few more options would not be unwelcome.|

Sexy lingerie? Wedding pack does it, along with a few other packs and costume options. Roman/Grecian stuff? Already have it. Wedding outfits? See the wedding pack again. Formal wear? Got that in various forms. So what could we get for a Valentine's day themed bundle? |
Aura: little hearts floating around the character, like you always see in cartoons.
Costume change emote: A chippendale style tearing off of the outer layer of clothes.
Temp power: bow with heart tipped arrows which cause a placate or confuse affect.
A pet cupid who follows you around shooting such arrows, so your enemies temporarily fall in love with you.
More and better heart patterns on clothing
Etc.

Probably pick this up if I get my next 400 points before the sale ends. First Beam Rifle, now the Think Tank, the devs are practically forcing me to make a Mars Attacks homage.

Only two things I can say to critique this costume set (aside from the acknowledged bugs)
1. Please give us a just plain "headless2 option for the jar, no glass, no nothing.
2. Please make an animated serpent hair style, I'd pay 400 points just for that alone.
Really don't like the new female faces, but love the snake hair!
