Gremlin Stuff that didn't make it into the Promo

I'm sure some people like and dislike the gremlin promo, I love it, but thats just because I'm a fanboy. Though I like it, I feel there could have been more. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it feels like there is a lot missing. Such as the following:

5* Versions of the Wrench Wand, Thwack Hammer and Deconstructor Bomb: (I wouldn't have minded them being reskins, but that's just me.)

Mender Armor: The hooded look would probably make some people like it, even if they don't like gremlins. Hoodies are cool, amirite?

Demo Armor: I'm sure it would've been appreciated, especially by those more bomb-oriented.

Incinerator Armor: Welding masks are cool, would've been some nice variety. Also, a flamethrower weapon wouldn't be so bad. But I know that would take a bit of coding and balancing and such, so you know how it is.

Permanent Gremlin Disguise: Like with the love puppy. Doesn't need to be now, but I'm sure some would love to see it in the future.

Gremlin Laugh: It would be pretty interesting to have your character's laugh taunt make a gremlin sound with the disguise on. Maybe a bit nit-picky, but would make it more fun to laugh a̶t̶ (with) people. Plus, their laugh is so maniacal and adorable.
--------

Of course, these aren't DEMANDS, just some stuff that I feel was left out. I am aware that all this stuff takes time and effort to create, and therefore may or may not ever come into the light. One thing I have noticed is that this Promo seems to have more of a "cult" following to it. (People running around, mingling with other people in gremlin armor, pretending to be one, and such) I haven't really seen such a following to a promo before, maybe I'm just blind. Plus, variety would be nice because the costume section in the AH is ALL the same gremlin armors.

I like the promo as is, but it feels like raisin bran without the raisins. I can handle it, but it's not something I would dish out a ton of money for. Maybe the idea of getting an item DIFFERENT than a standard gremlin helmet, like the mender helmet, would make more people willing to buy the boxes, and help rake in more money for OOO. (No disrespect. I know FTP games need a source of income and such.) Just the idea that you won't just get another piece of the same equipment 9/10 times you open a box.

I would love to see a comeback of this promo in the future, with MOAR GREMLINS. I mean, who doesn't love their fuzzy little faces and welding goggles? <3

Maybe I'm going complete fanboy over this (pay no mind to my forum avatar), but please leave some ideas or feedback below.

Gremlin Knights

I like the idea of making more permanent Gremlin gear and always like the idea that you could either play as rebel Gremlin or as a Knight dressed as a Gremlin. Being able to play like Gremlins would bring lots of new ideas for special weapons and gear. Playing as a Gremlin would make just as much sense since there are lots of Gremlins in Ember Light Town that have become friends with Spiral Knights.

Huh?

Gremlin CLASSES, XD suggested before like back when it started off out of Beta, but we could spin it off from this little suggestion here. New machanics and gremlin only armors and weapons. More content.

@Mephisto-Philus
Glad you don't think I'm COMPLETELY insane. I figured it would've been suggested before, but I couldn't find it. I think more content is what this game needs. Even with a promo. Would you open a blind bag that only has 2 figures to possibly get? People would probably open more boxes if they had a big selection of stuff to get. **I'm not a business expert**

@Sonosuke
Honestly, I don't think its such an important thing. They're already so rare. And if OOO made them easily accessible, I'm sure those with the shield would be rather... Angry. I, for one, would be pretty upset. And the shield itself seems more like a novelty, since it IS just a reskin. If they did add a 5* shield it would only really be for 11 people. However, if they added a whole new Darkfang shield that is easier to acquire, they should do something with the old darkfang shields so they stay... Special. Know what I'm saying?
