Commission the creation of comprehensive "stock" PC/NPC token set for (ad-lib distribution to) Roll20 supporters

It would be really nice if Roll20 could invest/commission a set of humanoid tokens (as viewed from above) to cover fantasy thru future scenarios, available to subscribers as a benny for supporting the site. I would love to have rapid access to Swordsmen, Axemen, bowmen, wand/staff wielders of different fantasy races, a few flavors of orcs and goblins, to some old-west Stetson hatted sherriffs and ranch-hands and buxom barmaids, to fedora-sporting Indy Jones -wannabees,and natives, to cops and robbers to modern-warfare Kevlar vested/helmeted soldiers, to vacc-suited spacers or exoskeleton-wearers. It has been great that the roll20 platform allows for on-the-fly queries of the whole internet to grab a token fast that sorta works (human-looking that has a clear directional facing), that I can grab if a player response to a situation calls for new bystanders or mobs. However, it would be nice if roll20 could either offer sponsors a link to just download a zip file folder of these tokens, or else have the token art reside on the roll20 server, to be the fast first "hits" showing up for a search for tokens by a GM whose account shows as a supporter. Alternatively, if someone has already created a packaged art PRODUCT of a couple hundred human/humanoid tokens for sale, I'd be interested in buying it if not too expensive.. EDIT- maybe this is something that could be funded by a kickstarter campaign, where investors above a certain amount would get the final product art... Tho it think it would make the roll20 product a little slicker if it was a stock feature.
Mentors already do have access to several token packs for free.

Gads, you're right. Thanks! guess I have to see if the guys want to pony up more per month. Do these packs have 20th/21st century themed- tokens? I assume that the tokens are not transmitted permanently as image data, but rather are accessable on the fly only while the account is at Mentor level. WOuld be nice if maybe 200 tokens were still available at supporter level.

As an alternative to getting your group to pay more per month to get Mentor status and hope some of the free Mentor tokens fit your bill, you could scrounge together a one-time sum and just buy an appropriate token pack.
That too.
Thanks folks. I'd be happy to spring $5 or $10 for a few dozen germane tokens. I took a look at the token packs on the roll20 marketplace and didn't see any 1930s era. Figured as much. It's a rather ideosyncratic genre for RPGs.

Snivus , if you want 1930's era tokens my suggestion is to send a request to your favorite artists and see if one of them would be willing to put together such a pack as either commision work or for the marketplace.
