Taking screenshots of every item in the Club Penguin app is time-consuming and produces a low quality image anyway, so that's why you don't see them on pages.

Long answer:

For a penguin model (or sprite) in the app, there is a texture (.png) file and a mesh (.mmf) file: http://media8.clubpenguin.com/mobile/avatar/penguin/en_US/deploy/texture/all_platforms/skin/item_penguin_skin_4_Black.png http://media8.clubpenguin.com/mobile/avatar/penguin/en_US/deploy/mesh/all_platforms/penguin.mmf The same is true for items (Beta Hat in this example): http://media8.clubpenguin.com/mobile/avatar/penguin/en_US/deploy/texture/all_platforms/hat/penguin_hat_partyHatBeta.png http://media8.clubpenguin.com/mobile/avatar/penguin/en_US/deploy/mesh/all_platforms/hat/penguin_hat_partyHatBeta.mmf So the idea would be to combine these files in Autodesk Maya (which is the software that Club Penguin used to create the models) and render them into high quality images. However, people tried to open the mesh files and didn't succeed.

Taking screenshots of item sprites in the app isn't really optimal since there are over 5,000 items. You would have to wear each item and take a screenshot, so you can imagine how long that would take. If we rendered them, at least we could somehow automate the process.

The best option would be to archive all their files so that we can potentially work with them in the future, but I haven't found a file that lists all of the item labels (such as "penguin_hat_partyHatBeta"). The closest I've found is this transformation schema. Too bad they don't use a simple ID system for item sprites.

That having been said, the user who uploaded the app image for the I Heart Pizza T-Shirt stated around a month and a half ago that he took a bunch of other screenshots: [2017-01-13 05:44:30]  I took screenshots of my penguin wearing each item in the CP App, and because there isn't any single image of a penguin wearing an item in the CP App, I thought it would be a good idea to upload those pics, despites their bad quality Maybe he'll add more of them. And you'd have to have rare items like the party hat and the red lei.Ah i get it.
