Good afternoon everyone.
We are aware of an important issue that requires the attention of all console Terrarians.
With the latest update, a bug was introduced that converts console exclusive armor left on mannequins into Christmas vanity outfits. This applies to armor on mannequins at the time of the user updating as well as any exclusive armor added to a mannequin after the update.
A patch to fix this and some other issues is being fast tracked and is well underway. That said, until you hear from us that the fix is available
The console armor/mannequin bug only occurs if a player loads a savegame that was created in a pre-christmas patch build into a game running the post-christmas patch build. So if you have the christmas patch installed and then put armor on mannequins, nothing will happen.
What that means is that the warning in this thread is a bit more specific based upon what we know now:
Do not load worlds that were created in older (pre-Christmas update) builds in which you have console armor on mannequins into the christmas patch build. If players want to do that, they should first remove the armor from the mannequins, then apply the christmas patch, then load the world again. It should then be safe to put armor on mannequins in that world.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding!
We are not sure what - if any - fixes will be available for anyone already affected, but we will look into it.
We deeply and sincerely apologize for this - and to anyone adversely affected by this bug. We understand this will be frustrating and that losing hard-won gear is never a pleasant experience.
Thanks, and stay tuned for further information.

Please do not place console exclusive armor on any mannequin!
