I love that you guys finally added a Plague Doctor mask proper! Love it, love it, love it. My Character Plague has been making due with the Ravenbeak for a long while now, and it's nice to get some love.
Sadly... What isn't so nice is the placement of the masks. I don't know if they could fit anywhere else, but, where the Plague mask is right now, it causes something sorely missing from the Plague Doctor Attire. The hat.
That is the most historically accepted image of the Plague Doctor, and the hat is part of the ensemble, so, sadly, unless there is some chance of it being switched around, I just... Can't figure out a way to use a mask. Even if I love the design, it is sorely deprived of its hat.

I'm glad people are happy with the costumes if they feel they have use for them.
Personally I think the cardboard one is a big opportunity missed. I remember when the excitement and expectation was for a poorly-made costume set akin to a 'Budget-Justice' costume set.

I love that you've given us new sets but why on Earth did you guys put the Kabuki masks in the freaking Face Masks & Armor section? This limits what we can do so much by not only limiting what mouth, side and top options can be used in conjunction but what hair options can be used too. My current version of my character Kabuki, made using the 'Formal Mask Opera' and 'Armored Jaw Samurai 3' wears a hood and I didn't realize till after I bought this in excitement that he wouldn't be able to use either a hood or his 'Emo Medium' hair that he has when not using the hood. Please, please move these to Eye Accessories like the '90's Plated Mask' which shows that pieces like that can work in Eye Accessories.

I just want to send a big THANKYOU to the Cryptic North team for these awesome sets. I bought the bone armour one to start with as thats all i can afford for now but i've been making and saving costumes with all the sets in copious quantities for use when i can afford to buy them. From armour made from scavanged Dino bones for Batastrophe when adventuring on Monster Island to a time-travelling medieval outfit for Radioactive Cosmonaut to a Steampunk version of Dr Cerebellum (head cage working with Floating BrainTHANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!) to finally having a nemesis concept for my swashbuckling vampiress the Scarlet Pippistrelle these sets have so very much use for me!
I even pointed out to my brother that the dino skull pieces could allow one of his tribal characters to wear the skull of their nemesis as a trophy once they were finally defeated, seriously cool stuff!

Those would be the ones. Weird that I'm not seeing them. I'll try getting that combo through the chest tab since I forgot to try that earlier and if it still doesn't work for me I'll just have to submit a ticket. Glad to see I should at least be able to do that though.
That's... not really the Feather Pack I was expecting actually!
and why only FEMALES have a Chest Piece while MALES get nothing for their Chest? that's Unfair
Both Genders should had a Feathered Chest Piece!
When I saw the image, I was thinking "There is something missiing here..."

Like the Dinosaur Suit, these new costumes are relatively unrestricted in what categories you can use them with. I'd like to see this trend continue with future costume pieces. Going back to the older costume pieces and doing the same would also be nice, but I have significantly lower expectations on that happening. I can still dream though.

I know I'm getting to this late, but I just picked up the Cardboard Armor set, and while it looks super-awesome, am I the only one who wished there were some sort of Cardboard tube single or heavy weapon? This set would've worked perfectly for a 'Cardboard Samurai-esque' toon.

Cool, I am glad you just added them, I am also glad I didn't spent all of my coins on the last sale
And that's how paper beats rock
good going on the new costume sets XD

The paper bag is particularly awesome. I'm debating making my own version of the Bombastic Bag Man

Considering they were released as Halloween-themed items, are these sets going to stay in the CO-Store or will they be a seasonal thing?
I can't remember we ever had Costume Sets that were just seasonal. All the Halloween Packs are still in the shop since years.

To my understanding, they're sticking around.
I guess I was erring on the side of caution since the Halloween Becomes, but...
Cool. I hope they do. Thanks
