Lunar event and Skull Merchant
So Behavior has announced this years lunar new year event and the face of the event this time around is Skull Merchant, at least the promotional art released. Don't get me wrong, the skin does look amazing and the art will always look amazing. Its one of the few things Behavior consistently gets right. However...
Why Skull Merchant?
I know nothing about the art process or how skins are selected to be put into the game, but why gi with a killer that most people don't like? Furthermore, was purposely nerfed into oblivion for the sole sake of making her so weak that she can no longer be an issue?
Okay, maybe I'm just being a downer all on my lonesome, but am I wrong about this?

I honestly don’t know what is their reasoning behind making some Killer cosmetics.
It does not feel like they are trying to increase Killer variety with it, since both popular characters get skins.
It does not feel solely driven by sales either, since they should just release skins for only popular characters, since unpopular characters also get skins.
With Skull Merchant basically having the lowest pick rate, it is questionable as to why they would make a skin for them. Don’t get me wrong, the art team does an amazing job, but with Killer cosmetics it doesn’t feel “clear” as to why some Killers get skins and others don’t.

She had a great skin for it last year and I believe was the face of it. They plan to rework her soon anyways. They haven't forgotten.

But that could be in as little as three whole months, maybe six which is half a year. It would make sense if she received any changes to give incentive to even play her but she didn't.

I get that but at least the skull mommy mains will be happy to see their girl posted up. The fix will be soon.

There is no Lunar New Year event, it's just a cosmetic.
LNY was retired in favour of Blood Moon.1 -
It's called the Lunar New Year collection with a small event to celebrate the year of the snake.

IMO "soon" means in a chapter or two but they said her rework isn't till late 2025, So we still looking at a 6+ month wait.

They also said her rework was priority and that they might be able to get to it sooner than expected.

Oh you mean that Community challenge. Yeah, that's just a minor celebratory event but unfortunately not the full LNY we had until 2023, after which we got Blood Moon.
