Actually I don't really think it would. We already have costume parts that are smaller than normal pieces, like the Clockwork pieces that make you really skinny in your midsection, or some of the Robot Arms. I don't think it'd be that hard to do the same for a mask that renders the whole head as just gone.

Staff Melee ... Flag Pole (with or without flag)
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

This for titan weapons:
A guitar of some sort for Katana Melee? I can see my husband (all 6'4" of him) going "SQUEEEEEE!" in a girly voice for that.
One themed costume set I have wanted for a LOOOOOOONNNNG time is just the skeletal frame.
Like out of those old Sinbad movies. Where the Skeleton has a sword and shield and you can see through it and stuff. Surely the art department could come up with something like that. Been asking for it for years.

I love the idea of a flag pole for Titan Weapons. Only problem I see is what flags do we allow on it? This could lead to having 1000s of options for 1 weapon piece and driving the poor designers insane,

Yeah, I'd have to agree with this entirely. Most of the ideas in this thread don't seem funny to me, more like overdramatic, overdone cliches. Which have the potential to be funny, I guess, maybe. |

That said I'm not opposed to a costume pack based on this theme. As long as there's a towel cape. Yes, there must be a towel cape. |
But I would totally support a towel cape. Maybe an April Fool's Day pack, available for a limited time, with silly costume parts and a silly temp power.

In addition to the "Eye for a head" thing, how about an eye in the chest?
Also:
Rock tied to a stick weapon for mace/ax/TW
A big fist on a pole and a ship oar for TW
Lastly, sock puppet gloves:
That brain-in-a-jar made me giggle like you wouldn't believe when I saw it. I love that thing. (And I made a brand new Mad-Scientist-turned-powered-armor-cyborg just to get to use it! 
)
The brain slug must also happen. And it must be recolorable. I need it in pink, see. (It would make a *great* stand in for Squiggles. Ty'ree's pet regenerating flesh... Yes, I have a character who keeps a piece of regenerating flesh as a pet. <_< Yes, she's nuts.)
Aside from those, I really want a rubber chicken weapon for my Mace tank, and chef's knives or a meat cleaver for my sword-users. I would also love to have a "thrown pie"/"hit by thrown pie" emote or temp power set.
You can't tell me a City version of The Great Race's pie fight wouldn't be a glorious and silly thing. 
ETA: Also, a chef's hat and coat. I really need to make Bakesman (Heroic pastry-master of Iron Chef earth)someday...

Would it be possible to do musical instruments-backpacks too? (Eg guitar strapped to back). I'm not sure how realistic that would look.
Random request: old style red and green 3-D glasses. You could use the standard square-ish glasses model and just recolor the lenses.
I was waiting for Steelclaw to post in this thread...
He did...
And I was not disappointed at all!
