  Some guys shave their nether regions and some size 30 women wear spandex pants. I see no reason to allow THAT much reality into WGT avatars!

  think marketing gave up on making new avatars long time ago

  Yep - looks like they just fell out of the program.

  When they introduced the Italian avatar I thought, now they have a model for all these 3-striped flags, Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany ("idem" Belgium, and I know the difference!). Should be much easier than the TV moderators who are but local to the USA.

  Alas, nix, nada, zilch, nothing.

  Our UK friends aren't the only ones starving (us for an avatar, them for a flag)  ;)

  It seems odd that the custom avatar is not pursued with any realistic approach. At 500,000 credits it seems no desire exists at wgt to advance the idea to fruition.

  It seems that many would enjoy it at a price sans the tongue-in-cheek, never going to happen offer.

  I assume that you speak of some "different hat, different hairstyle" wishes.

  The "5,000 $ man/woman" is a different item IMHO:

  There had to be a replacement for the equally unreachable Maserati while respecting the desired gaming rules.

  I seriously doubt that there is a concept to produce it or that there is a single prototype, but, at that price, a design by order might be reasonable, just in case...

  It might also be interpreted as "You don't get any further avatars from us"(?)

  How true Alosso. Nevertheless, the custom avatar would be a hit with the private CC concept...to allow the club singular member, custom, outfits, unique to that club as a fingerprint of that club...the logo, so to speak.

  ...and there's pie in the sky...

  (wonderful saying - better than any German equivalent - which I discovered only recently)
