I would recomend buying V2 and Mike2 if you can. There are many many free models and textures here in freestuff that will fill out the collection until you can buy more commercial products. Also, that will give you a chance to get used to the model, and get more ideas of what you want to do with it. Why v2 rather than v1? simple - bodyshapes. Victoria is nice, but the range of bodytypes possible with v2 is phenominal. Then add Capces studios excellent Roxanne (for v1, but you can copy morphs over) and you have one of the most versatile female models on the market. Definately worth the trouble. Same for mike3, but if you work primarily with female figures, you might be able to get by with the bargain basement mike 1.
