I'm pretty sure it's possible because I saw someone asking for it a while ago and someone responded with a correct answer. It'd be a string that I'd put into the "Image" property or "Decal" property, kinda like the one for website characters.

There was a way to do this long before that came out, and I don't think you can take data from ROBLOX directly with HTTP service

Thanks, where'd you get that from? Is there some thread or page containing that type of stuff?

Wow that's such a horrible idea. So much data is going to get lost.

What merge? Roblox didn't say anything about this. Where are you getting your information?
