[Scribe mode on]
Some time ago I wa talking to Mahk in kamadan about this, he somehow liked the idea and told me it could be done, but he told me that he don't know if more people would like it too, so I'll give it to you, and we'll see if he adds this to miniatures:
[Scribe mode off]
The idea is to add a small array of 1..5 emotes that makes miniatures do some things. I will list some examples here, then you can decide if they would be a fun thing to add or not:
/minispeak : The currenty miniature makes its 'noise'. 'Human miniatures would say one of its famous lines. No effect inside cities.
/minicombat : They just change their idle animation.
The miniature enters combat stance and stays that way until you...
/mininormal : ...enter this another command.
/minidie : The miniature makes a small dying and resurrecting animation. No effect in Soul reaping.
/minifollow : The miniature stops running around and chase the owner like henchmen and heroes. This would make the miniature also try to copy your emotes if their mode have them, like Henchmen do. So, if you bring a Koss miniature, it would dance if you do, but not if you bring an Asura miniature, that do not have dance animations.
Of course, not all miniatures would have all actions, much like not all action toys have the rocket punch or mobile limbs, but I think it would be pretty fun to have those things in the famous ingame toys.
There could be something even more simple:
Just by adding something after an emote the miniature will do it instead of you, for example, the something could be the letter M, a +, an =, etc.. For example
/dance M : If the miniature odel has a dance, it makes it.
/jump M : If you currently shown miniature has the dance emote, it makes it.
And so.
