Most of the items have a reason to be recoloured; the tent makes sense as it was a Sasquatch-related item, the jetpack makes sense as....Jetpack Guy, the Stinky Cheese makes sense as RH love its, he has a lot of items and its a present, Coal makes sense as Herbert is naughty, etc...Most items have a reason for recolouring/variant, it's not like they chose irrelevant items, notice how they chose it based around the CHARACTER. literally what character

Ok in all seriousness:

It's less about the character and more about the motif, really. After the flanderization that the characters of CP went through, there's no real character to speak of.

Speaking of which, even if you do count the little amount of character that's there, there's still a lot of issues.
 * None of the Penguin Band give out anything even closely related to them. And the fact that all four of them are clones of each other at this point shouldn't matter, they should each have something special to them that CP can bring out with the items.
 * There is so much more to Rookie than "Fluffy Sandwich". One of the more recurring items that Rookie is known for that he isn't wearing is a rubber duck, for example.
 * Merry Walrus's gimmick is that he gives presents to everyone regardless of their behavior, to spread generosity. Putting this into context, Herbert owning coal makes zero sense. And once again, he shouldn't even be this easily meetable in the first place, considering he's still at large.
 * Even considering Dot's character decay into a Disney Princess, a handbag makes the least sense out of anything she's wearing; an outfit of some kind would be more appropriate.
 * Once again, I don't get Rockhopper's obsession over stinky cheese. It's supposed to be a one-off gag from the comics and Anchors Aweigh, and it's turned into this, because...?

Honestly now that you've made such a huge fuss about it I think the items are the worst part of the party No, they're not. And there is literally no point in making brand new unique items, they'll be gone in 2 months or so, so no complaining. If you go that way, why don't they just shut down the game tohave more time making CP Island?
