    I'm a new player and this may have been covered before but it would be great if you could chose the colour for your costumes. If you have multiple skins in a MP battle they will be an alternative colour and it would be great if we could chose our own when we form parties for SP and MP. It's a little thing but it would make battles look a little more varied and for me personally it would be a good incentive to buy additional costumes.

    A minor feature that many won't care about but I think it would be a boost for the business.

    I like the idea, but they do sell other costumes you know.

    Having a bit more difference between the colors used for 2nd and 3rd characters could help those of us going color blind in our old age. The difference is harder to see once they're decked out in attachments.

    I agree with this idea, though I can't really think of a good way to tell people "Hey, you bought this character but you'll have to pay for those recolors." Anything that lets me use Lime-Green Melvin outside of a three Dwarf Warrior party is a good thing in my book though.

    I would love it if you could change the colour for existing costumes you own :3

    A simple implementation: in Cuthbert's, have some kind of indicator on each figure slot (whatever's simplest) that lets a player select the "primary" version for the figure (I = 1, 2, or 3). Subsequent characters then use the I+Nth-mod-3 version of that figure.

    It's not complete control, but at least you can make sure that your first character of a given figure will have the version you want. ^_^

    To clarify I didn't mean you get to chose a colour and then pay, I meant when you buy a figure at any point you can change the colour say in the multiplayer keep and change the colours of the characters you already own at any time you like. I think it would help to create a kind of team identity by changing your characters to the same or similar colours. Sort of like a sports team which plays nicely into the gladiatorial nature of MP. RPGs like this were always about creating an identity and I think this would help.

    Also there may be some figures you want to buy but you're not keen on the colour and prefer a variant but having the choice means you are more likely to pay. For example the elf warrior in the Chritsmas store is blue standard but one of the variants is green which fits in nicely with the other elves available so he wouldn't look a little out of place.
