Nice! but they really need more skins like xSyNySteRx said there should be a `Creat Your Own Skin` thing

If they really wanted to raise money, they should make it so you can pay to be able to edit your skin manually, they already know everybody wants it, so why not make money for charity off it?

You know, this really touches my heart. The fact that some of these video game companies could be so nice as to do this. This is really amazing and just is great. $770,448 is a lot of money and if the Macmillan Cancer Support Charities send the money they get to cancer research and treatment think about what could happen. I am sort of sad that I wasn't able to buy any skin packs from 4J studios
