Okay, so Hazmat and Spacesuit and Flight Suit type things are definitely in demand. And some less silly lookin' armour. Those are all good ones because most of them I can actually sell without technically requiring Mike, even though I'd make them to fit. Something like a spacesuit or full-field-plate armour made to fit Mike would work well as a stand-alone figure, too -- because with the visor on either closed, you could not tell if there was a mike inside really well or not. Armour would need a certain amount of embellishment in the mesh, but yes, all the filigree work, ribbing textures, trefoils, and whatnot could and should be done with bumpmaps and texture maps. I'm still thinking of if it would be better to make the grille in the visor real or simlpy transmapping it -- the latter would allow for more flexibility but the 'thickness' of the metal would look hollow close-up since the material isn't solid through. Crescent, do you seriously want a Nehru jacket? I'd actually thrown that in as a joke. Maybe I should do a Hippy Mike set -- flares, pancho, nehru jacket, muttonchops/long moustachios/beard, long greazy hair and dredalocks options, hair wrap morphing prop, yarn beanie, armpit hair, sandals, fringed suede boots, Baja jumper, joint, cellophane with small bits of paper in it, skins, and bong props, giant floppy Dr. Seuss hat, etc L As I said, I'm mostly focusing on Mike right now with stuff, primarily because Vicki already has so much clothing, even if a lot of it is band-aids. You know, I do have a Biker Jacket for Mike that I've made fit Vicki OK with a little tweaking and mild scaling.
