Avatar variants?

Sometimes when I have an HA I have a few different "variants" of that outfit, maybe a different facial expression + different top + different hair accessorie, otherwise very similar but enough to change the general feel of an avatar. I like showing off all of these variants on the site, but I don't really like uploading them separately. It takes up a lot of space in my gallery to see 2 or 3 of a very similar outfit and feels disorganized sometimes (to me).
There could be a variant option, where you can upload 1-2 other images, that can be displayed on the same page as your upload. Maybe little pixel arrows or numbers below our image could serve to flick through variants someone uploaded- think like on clothing websites when they have tiny squares of solid color to show the alternate color options, and when you click the square the picture changes to a photo of that color. That way only 1 image at a time is showing. (So for example on this page - http://www.zazzle.com/may_the_forest_be ... 5686389123 - I am thinking of putting a small icon comparable to where the images of different angles of the model are right below the main image, but just an arrow or something simple instead of a small image of the HA).

Maybe we can enter an alternate title for each variant.

It could be a premium only feature as well, if we're looking for premium perks. Or normal users get 1 variant slot and premium users get 2?

A downside I see right away is people could easily use it to get around the 5 per month limit, tho it would all be under the same upload. Do you think that's sometime people will abuse?

This is an intriguing idea, for sure. Not sure how it would be implemented. I will see what I can find out.
