Dummies to test buffs on at the tailor!

So I was customizing my Ice Armor/Super Strength tanker's powers at Icon, right? When I came out of the editting screen, I found myself covered in dark purple and red Thermal Radiation shields. I located the guy who cast them, and scolded him...then I felt bad. Poor guy had nobody else to test them on aside from his Imps, which were the same colors(as one might expect from someone with a matching primary and secondary). I looked around, and hey, what about the mannequins on either side of the shop? Just make them targetable as allies, and boom. No need to interfere with other people's costumes! And for the Facemaker on villainside, you could probably make targettable versions of the medical skeleton models.

I'm almost certain that buff powers will buff an invisible dummy entity within the customization screen itself. It's probably a little easy to miss, perhaps, but even so.

That's quite a bit different from seeing what it looks like on an actual model, though.

I'm iffy on the idea, though. I'm concerned about the overlays and performance hits.
