OKAY LISTEN UP. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Okay - I was NOT aware of this as I have long had an account there with most of my characters well above level 10. So that explains MY confusion, but this poster from the CO forums explains a LOT about why the costume creator seems to have shackles on it for new players.
Another poster in the same thread claims that it's not lvl 10, but you have to complete the tutorial ONCE, log out of the game and then log back in again.
I can't test this on my account for obvious reasons. But if someone wants to start a new account and character and try either method, let us know how it goes?

Quote:My deepest sympathy for the loss of CoH. It was THE trailblazer for superhero MMO's and will be sorely missed.
Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Champions Online!
Just a little heads up I mention to all new and returning players:
PWI have neutered the Character Creator for new players. You will
need to level 1 character to around level 10 (you can do this in between
1 and 5 hours depending on how much time you spend enjoying the
scenery). At that point the entire character creator will unlock with
all of your options enabled, depending on Gold or Silver membership.
Hope this helps.
