Just another quick idea. I know the game can't be edited due to Kovu's absence, etc, etc, but I think this could be a nice addition to the item system.
What if we could rotate or move items around our characters? Like, adjusting the angle of a necklace to better fit a canine model, or putting a hat on one's bum for the lols. It wouldn't change the item itself, so the creator has no need to worry about having the item manipulated; it would just affect where it appears on the character.
