Things Foxbat can do that we cannot

Foxbat can juggle.
Foxbat can sit in the gutter.
Foxbat can have nightmares.
Foxbat can lean against a wall.
And there's more. Further photographic evidence of Foxbat's many talents can be seen in this collection.
Okay, where am I going with this? These screenshots were all taken from the recent Foxbatcon event. Stress that the event was implemented recently.
None of the emotes that Foxbat is performing in those shots can be performed by players. None whatsoever. But they are there, in the game code, waiting to be used. The devs are aware of their existence, and are happily using them for new content. But we don't have access to them.
Are the developers aware that we can't have our characters leaning against the wall, lying down, or standing with our hands on our hips? Are the developers aware these emotes aren't available to players?
I'm not trying to be snarky here, because this is the only reasoning I can come up with why these emotes are locked out - the devs simply aren't aware of the issue. Properly implementing them is a zero-effort fix, and one that could potentially net Champions Online a few easy bucks by collecting them in a Z-Store emote pack. I will go on record and state that I will happily pay 475 zen for the emotes shown here. I know there are plenty of others that will do the same.
I love the costume packs as much as the next person, and have a huge backlog of packs to buy with my monthly stipend, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little extra mixed in here and there. Use the assets you have, don't let them lie fallow and forgotten. There is so much game hidden away that we could make use of, if you only give us a chance.

Also, signed.
Emote Pack 2, Foxbat, please. Just have someone add a Foxbatussi dance emote, and use the ones he used in the event, and we're good to go.
We need.
Now.
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

I'm a bit on the fence about this. Sure, some NPC have awesome moves that I'd love to use myself, but I also don't want to take away the signature moves of some of the villains in the game. Those unique moves are part of what makes them awesome to fight, like Psimon's ego "power armor" or Medusa's doppelgangers.

I've wanted a Rodin's "The Thinker" emote for a while, but the one FB is doing doesn't look quite right. His looks more like a mime of him leaning on an invisible table or chair arm.
1) There are unused resources in this game that can be repurposed for player use. Considering content is something the community in this game is always clamouring for, repurposing these assets should be a no-brainer.
2) If the developers aren't aware that players don't have access to these emotes, then we need to make them aware. There is no earthly reason why - at the very least - we can't use our zen to buy /e walllean.

Zed loves to exercise via Jumping Jacks and Push ups, so Shadow Boxing and/or T'ai Chi movements or Yoga poses would be nice additions.
