I don't know if this has been suggested before - probably, because I'm not a huge human avatar person - but I think it would be really cool if we'd be able to preview the zapper skins we DON'T have on our avatars. We can 'wear' clothes we don't own, either just to see how something would look, or to just mess around and make an avatar to screenshot for fun. I think we should be able to do the same with the skins. I wasn't able to unlock the one I wanted this year because I'm a dingus and forgot, but I'd love to at least make an avatar for fun using it without having to chop something together in paint.

Just give a little "You don't have that skin!" error when trying to click "wear" or whatever. I think it'd be especially fun for ones that aren't obtainable anymore, just for people to be able to make fun avatars. Especially because you can only try to get zapper skins once a year, for like a week.

Again, apologies if this has been suggested and shut down before, I just don't see any reason to be super against it.

idk if this would be possible to implement but if it is then sure, can't see why not.

I'd appreciate this greatly, honestly, big support

Are you only talking zapperskins or also zombieskins? I dunno if NPC Ecks would go along with this.
