Split NPCs into Bodies and Expressions

What if you want a happy robot, or a sad red-colored NPC, or a starfish going "Meh"?

I think similarly to how Auras are separate from Aura Colors, the same should be done with NPCs.  You'd be able to pick body type and expression independent from each other, with some exceptions (Bruce is always locked to Bruce expression). 

In the store, initially body types wouldn't appear until you buy your first expression, which will come with a free yellow body color.  And from there you can buy additional body colors/types and expressions.  Body colors/types would be "unlimited" use, with expressions being limited (as NPCs are like now).  So if you want 5 sad slimeys, you'd buy 1 slimey base (and never have to buy it again) and then 5 sad expressions.  Then after that, if you wanted 5 sad starfish, you'd only have to buy the starfish body type one time only and can have 5 sad starfish, unless sad slimeys exist in the world.

what do you think?
