Can we up the quality of Legendary skins?
I was originally going to make this post after Lisa came out, due to her Legendary being quite underwhelming. I didn't though as I assumed licencing problems would prevent Lisa getting new voices etc. So I waited until another came out around an original killer/suvivor.
But now Oni's legendary is out and honestly it's even more underwhelming (in my opinion at least).
Firstly, no new animations and sounds in lobby and i'm assuming no new ones in game. Animations really breathe new individuality into characters, anybody who has played Legion for a bit knows how when you switch Legion characters in lobby, it really feels like your character has changed. With most people, they develop a favourite Legion character because of how different they look and feel. It's an incredibly nice detail that improves the quality of the skin(s).
Lisa had new animations, and the fact that Oni doesn't is disappointing.
One nitpick from me is that the mouth is locked and not moving. It makes it feel like Oni is just dressed up in a costume and not the actual thing/animal/whatever that thing is.
Secondly, the character model is extremely similar to original Oni. Now I know it's meant to look somewhat similar, but all thats really happened is different muscles, feet, a tail and head. Other then that it's the same and if it isn't the same it looks waaaay too similar. I don't know what I want here, all I know is that it looks and feels too similar to the original.
Another nitpick is that the kanobo (I think it's called?) is the same as the original which I don't like. I feel like it should have a different theme to it like if it had more blood on it.
As a legendary skin, I feel like this one is a borderline scam. Due to its high price, it should have new animations, it should have a different model, it should have different sounds. If this was sold as a Very rare set, it'd be fine, but it isn't.
I'm absolutely willing to spend money for a Legendary, but until it has something going for it like new animations, i'm going to refrain.
So ya, back to title, can we please put more effort into legendary skins? Enough to separate them from their very rare counterpart?

The skin on the whole is just not worth it. It's just an overpriced Purple skin. If future Legendary skins are going to be like this then I'm not going to support them. Which is a shame since I actually quite liked what they did with Lisa, making her unique and I believe she's taller than Cheryl as well. But The Minotaur is literally just an Oni reskin. If they're going to make the lore seem like a different character then at least do something unique. Even a Mori animation would have made me happy

Miniscule effort for maximum profit. Its just an overpriced skin with a different color on it.

its really underwhelming. I only find the sword interesting, but you can bet your butt I wont buy the whole LINKED cosmetic just because for the sword.
The best what the community can do is being vocal about but also show that this needs to stop by not giving by and buying it

I agree with everything you said, basically it's just another cashgrab imo.
The head looks really stiff, especially the jaw, it doesn't move at all.
I'm very disappointed tbh.

Yeah ... Im extremely dissapointed with the legendary skins so far ... Im all over paying more for a legendary skin, but it should be worth the cost and offer atleast SOMETHING unique ...

Well if enough people won't buy them then they'll maybe think about improving their work. I wouldn't by legendary skin that doesn't even change voice line unless I like really really liked it for some reason.

Disappointed as well. I was really hoping for a new Kanabo because they would have the opportunity to do that with a "Legendary Skin", but they dropped the ball on that. The current Kanabo doesn't even make sense with the skin. He's now a Greek Minotaur with a Japanese weapon which makes it stick out in a really bad way.
