BuddyLabs.com - Highly Customizable Avatars

If you're really into cool avatars, but find that many avatars are limited in what you can and can't personalize, you'll probably be interested in what BuddyLabs has to offer. BuddyLabs is an avatar-creation site that works much like any other, except for that the array of customizable options is mind-boggling.

Currently, the site offers four animals that you can personalize (a pig, a fish, a cat, and a T-Rex, if my paleontological memory serves me correctly). You can adjust literally any setting these animals have, ranging from the obvious (clothing and accessories) to the more obscure (hip thickness and jaw size?!). The site is extremely easy to use, though you'll need to make sure you're running the latest version of FlashPlayer in order to create and customize you're avatar. When you're done, you can upload your avatar to a variety of social networking sites (including MySpace, Orkut, and Xanga) by pasting your personal html code into any section of your personal profile.
