That made me come up with the idea of posable statues. To be fair to all builder styles, these could be made of wood, stone, metals and marble. They could be spray-tinted and they would be 2 blocks tall.
You would then place these wherever you like, not necessarily over a plinth, and then you could interact with them to select an existing emote animation and at what point of the animation the statue should be frozen at (with a slider possibly). You would also be able to choose how the statue character looks: male/female and the horn/hair style and what types of character paint or headgear the statue has (from ones you have unlocked!).
LOVE this! Heh, I don’t know if anybody has encountered it (let me know if so, it will give me a laugh) but sometimes when I’m in my settlement and go afk, or am just waiting for someone there, I’ll make my character sit or stand on an empty shop plinth.
I asked about this a while back and it turns out, the standard plinth was just supposed to be a display stand where you could put things. I do hope they still want to implement it at some point!
