With the new outfits out for halloween I must wonder, why is the toy item held as a seperate single item, I know it’s only 1 inventory slot but it is a special item that comes with a BLTC purchase that is supposed to be perma.

Rather than it taking up an item slot that must be stored without loss, why not have it either be toggleable like the outfit itself, either by a tick in the hero panel or a keypress, or have a button on the outfit panel to “spawn related toy”, maybe even spawnable like the Achievement Reward items, the panel of which is redundant with the advent of the wardrobe system anyway.

It would give piece of mind for sure.

I can see problems that need to be worked out if it has a toggle button on the hero panel like the costumes and mini pets.

What if you are using one in PvE. How do you get rid of it if you are attacked by a mob and have to fight? If you have to open up the hero panel and untoggle it, that’s very cumbersome. If it has a toggle and you can swap weapons or something to get rid of it, what happens to the toggle? Is it still on but your weapon no longer shows? How do you get it back then, by turning the toggle on and off?

It’s an interesting idea to put it on the hero panel but there might be problems with it since it’s something you use and not something you wear or display like the mini pets.

Maybe the Achievement reward panel reworked as you suggested. Just make one when you need it and delete if you get tired of it,

I agree, in heinsight to those points, it would be a far better use of the achievement panel’s little bit, those are skins which are redundant with the wardrobe system and we’ll never really need to re-create them. Let’s..well, use it for toys!
