City of Heroes Raises the Customization Stakes!

EDIT: I just realized that the Super Tailor feature is part of the Super Science Booster Pack. Charging for the ability to customize height, bodytype and gender is just so cluelessly LAME. Here's hoping I'm misinterpreting that and it'll be available to all. This kind of stuff belongs in the base costume creator! Not happy. Now on to our regularly scheduled post:

We all know the competition is just around the corner, and they have some amazing customization options. Well, CoH is rising to the challenge with the announcement of power colorization and now changeable genders and bodytypes. A whole new range of concepts are now possible!

From the official forums:
"When visiting the Tailor or Facemaker in City of Heroes or City of Villains, a new NPC is available. The NPC will allow you to change the inherent body type of your character. You can choose Male, Female or Huge body types. Additionally, you will be able to change your character’s height. So characters can change from a short, skinny civilian to a HUGE powered brute!"

Could the Huge female bodytype be far behind? My guess is we'll be seeing it before long.

My character Hammer Man will finally be able to realize his concept of being a child who found a magic hammer that transforms him into an unreasoning mass of destructive muscle. :)

Read how you can grow and shrink at the official forums.
