Please add more cosmetics for licensed characters! Many have been abandoned...
There are many licensed characters that haven't had any new cosmetics since their release. Like Laurie.... it's coming up to 7 years since she was released and she has 1 store cosmetic... and she is probably the licensed survivor with the most canon outfits available to be made into cosmetics.
Another is Yoichi, he only has 1 store outfit. Although he was released only a year ago, he is basically an original character as he has infinite possibilities of outfits as he's been significantly aged up from the films, yet we've seen nothing new.
Ashley hasn't had one in a long time although he is getting one in the rift pass, it has been after way too many years.
Quentin has 0 store cosmetics. Although there isn't much to work with from the remake, it would be great if you could attempt to get licensing from the original film and give quentin those outfits or maybe get permission to make some original ones.
Not that it's been a long time since they've had cosmetics but I'd love to continue seeing more Resident evil cosmetics, since Re4r just released, seeing Ashley, Luis and Ada/leon re4r cosmetics would be amazng.
Killers tend not to have many options from their film, game or show so I haven't included them in this list but I would definitely be up for more licensed killer cosmetics. But this is mainly directed towards survivors as they really are just skins to be swapped essentially. And because licensed survivors have no options, I tend to never choose to play as them, unlike licensed killers where I'd play them purely for their power, survivors are purely for cosmetic options.

Freddy and Quentin cannot get any cosmetics at all since the license holder don't allow it.
Myers and Laurie cannot get any cosmetics outside of what was featured in the first movie.

Why licenses do this 😭

Because every license holders are different to work with and some are just more strict to work with than others, especially when it comes to how much freedom they allow others to have when using their IPs.
Warner Bros who are the license holders for the international part of A Nightmare on Elm Street is known to be so incredibly strict about letting other games that aren't owned by themselves use their IPs that it's honestly a miracle they allowed the IP to even be in dbd to begin with.

I agree, especially cosmetics you can mix up would be great to have on many of them..
though as already mentioned, some license holders are just very strict and we will probably never see anything added for Quentin and Freddy - gotta be happy that they are here at all and Quentin got his face rework!
(though there is great potential from the reboot movie:
also, BHVR might not want to overshadow their original characters/store choices and this might also be a reason why there are not too many licensed cosmetics overall even for those licenses that are more open..
And i mean, the licensed holders do get their part for every item sold and I imagine creating licensed stuff actually takes more time and effort and needs to be approved etc so it may just not be as lucrative for BHVR to get too many licensed cosmetics..
