Jar full of brain = best costume piece EVER!

I love the think tank option! Can we PLEASE have additional tank styles so we can put it *over* standard heads? A tank full of water would be awesome to use for making aquatic characters who are able to escape the confines of their watery home!

Great stuff guys, this is right up my alley! However there is a bit of feedback and bug reporting to be shared.

Bat Aura - needs a combat variation (bug?)

Vampire Brooch - is awesome but it needs to be colorable. (bug?) Please let me color this full on black or purple or whatever I want.

Vampire Brooch - on Female models this brooch floats significantly far above the chest/shoulder area.

Vampire Frilled Ascot - is very broken. On Male and Female models the piece shows up behind the head. (bug)

Female Vampire Face - we can't get glowing eyes on this one like we can with the Male Vampire Face? Seems like a bug to me unless girls can only get one via the Medusa Face. (bug?)

Think Tank - not sure if bug but it'd be nice to have auras work on the head so we can have glowing eyes inside the tank

Think Tank - unless we're getting a retro sci-fi set later on (and perhaps even if we ARE), it would be nice to have the full array of Full Masks heads - just with no Detail 1, 2 and 3 IF they are problematic inside the Think Tank.

Vampire Face - would be great to get this tech applied to the really old Glowing Eyes face as a variation of it.

Piranha Head - would love a variation without anglers.

Fish Monster Boots and Gloves - they're pretty good but I'd like to see a more natural variation added.

I'd like to see the Murder of Crows Costume Change Emote added. Requiring 4 people to have a chance at this in a two week window, once a year, isn't ideal. I'd prefer to buy it.

I love the brain in the jar option, but any chance we could get the eyes to move around like the normal heads do?

Love the Brain Jar piece. I've already used it to re-costume one of my characters that had the old exposed brain hair style.

I do have one small issue with it (the same I have with the new animial pack heads as well). I wish we could enlarge them with the head scale sliders. Both the brain jar and the animal heads seem too small proportionally to body torsos.

Not sure about this one. I love a lot of stuff they have out but they sure don't have a lot of pieces in it. It seems the CoT and this pack seriously lack items. Also, the different texture of the sea creature boots and gloves is awful and almost useless as it does not 'mesh' with many other costume textures.

I think this one might be a no sale...

Question:

When you say "These costume pieces will only be available until November 18, 2011."

Do you mean to say:

(A) "These costume pieces will only be available FOR PURCHASE until November 18, 2011."

or

(B) "These costume pieces will only be available TO WEAR until November 18, 2011."

?

Thanks!

For as long as I've been asking for a Brain in a Jar, this was an auto-buy for me. Thanks a ton for finally making it happen!


bummer, no option for a goldfish swimming around in the jar...

I guess street justice will have to wait till next month. At least now my TA/Archery character can be cursed with a Medusa form.

Can we get an option to remove the esca from the piranha head? i.e. the light up danglybobbers. It's a great head but the esca don't fit all fishman concepts, since they're pretty much restricted to just the anglerfish of the real world. And all you'd need to do would just be to copy the head and remove that bit of geometry. It's pretty clear the head would look great and menacing without them, but with them they kind of make it look goofy.

Awesome pieces for a lot of new characters, great work!
Especially loving the bats aura and the think tank pieces.

Would it be possible to get the female vampire face without the blood drool and the head fins as detail 1 or 2 for normal heads for characters who look mostly human with just a hint at an aquatic origin?

The Vampire Collar clips with nearly every single piece of head detail, including hats, hair and helmets. So can we have all the other Circle of Thorns stuff considering you're willing to ignore your own arbitrary rules?

Is there a reason the snake hair isn't available for male (and huge) models?

If it is because the Medusa is a female figure, well, that reasoning is really poor. The Minotaur is male, but we got cow heads for females in the animal pack.

Look, David, Jay, unknown costume piece designers. I love you guys and your work, and again you have delivered some really awesome pieces with this halloween pack. But the way you keep some costume pieces limited to certain genders does not make sense. AT. ALL.
