Random Wonkey related thought.

[Terra B Welch]

I personally dislike ever playing as Wonkey, but that didn't stop me from having this thought.

Does anyone think that when Klei ever gives Wonkey skins that they'll make it so if you own a specific skin for both the character you have and for Wonkey that when you transform into Wonkey it'll have Wonkey's version of the skin?

For Example: If Klei added a survivor Wonkey skin, you're Wilson with the survivor Wilson skin, you own survivor Wonkey, when you get transformed from Wilson to Wonkey, it'll automatically have Wonkey's survivor skin.

This is just a passing thought I had, does anyone think Klei would do something like this? Or is it more likely that every time someone becomes Wonkey they'll have to use a wardrobe to have the skin they want?

can you even realy equip skin items in the first place? wonkey skins sound like a scam, wich is kind of fitting it being a monkey

Wonkey skins could be thing to be assembled from other sets. Like snowfallen give carol emote, or pajamas sets give sleepy emote.

The thought arose in my head because I know somewhere in the code it says something along the lines of "no wonkey skins yet? Maybe one day."

This isn't a suggestion, this is just thoughts.

I'd more prefer if it's one wonkey skin per character, like the wendy wonkey skin having a flower in her hair and such. 

It is wishful thinking but I do hope that wonkey does get a retouch sometime, I love playing as them, and having a permanent solution without having to sacrifice an inventory slot or the ability to get the new blueprints kinda sucks.

Wonkey already technically.. sort of has skins- At least this is what mine looks like, I like the white fluff belly and the leafy arm guards.

unfortunately you can’t change his hands or feet (yet) I’ve also looked at several Wortox parts that would’ve let us make our own unique Wonkeys.

I think it’s in the pipelines for the future, but they wanted to get the update out on time so it didn’t make it in to the current update.

Allow me to show you what I mean by "in the code"
There's this comment in a part of "purchasepackscreen.lua" that mentions the possibility of wonkey skins.

"no wonkey skins in packs... yet??? maybe one day???"

I'd be down for Wonkey skins if you could stay as Wonkey when your resurrect. As of now, if they were added then any time you died you would lose the point of the skin.

That would give more incentive to trade with the Monkey Queen to remove the curse whilst also allowing players to choose to play as Wonkey at will by keeping the Trinkets at your base.

Personally I feel like they may as well just make it a survivor character instead at this point since it's so optional now that way there's no need to worry about how to add skins to it and handle reverting on death.
