The ability to change a armor stand to a player skin

under review

We should have an option of changing armor stands to player skins cause it would be cool for mapmakers and would make it easier for roleplayers like me

  maybe it could instead be a separate item from the armor stand, like a statue item that acts like an armor stand but is harder to get and is able to to look like any skin that you currently own from the marketplace, that way there's a new reason to buy skins instead of buying a skin pack and only using one skin from it. its default form could look like a stone statue of steve.

  Maybe you somehow type in a persons gamertag and the armour stand then becomes that player

  No way, I love this idea but I play on console and in survival I already use armor stands to look like npc guards, this would be brilliant to add to my medieval world have traders actually in stalls you would be better off making a wand feature like in the mcedit mod for java edition to open up the skin menu but I would buy skin packs if I would be using more then one as of now I only use the free ones

  So you know how people sneak to change the pose of the armour stand so I just thought of a way to do it like do that and it will open up a menu where you can still change the pose but you can change the skins too

  Yes!  I love this idea. I don't think we'll ever be given a "Player Mob" in the near future. That being said, doing this with armor stands would be downright AMAZING. The only thing that could top this is if we have the ability to keep the armor stand with a permanent player skin and if we're able to change to skin model (Steve or Alex)

  It's probably more likely for it to only work with commands, but I do think thats plenty for a map or roleplay hub to use them in that way without adding a menu or anything, so I don't see a reason not to add this.

  It could use an NBT tag like skulls: PlayerModel

  totally agree. It would most likely be a command like /summon minecraft:armor_stand skin <playername>
