I don't care about skins like, at all. And intentionally leave my characters with whatever the defaults are just to show other people how much I don't care.

But definitely in my younger years wanted whatever was the hot thing at the time. I remember at one point it was yo-yos. And the "TalkBack" from Home Alone. And Furby. And Tomagotchi.
