I saved $70 on my first purchase of Vicki3 and her accoutrements, textures etc. That paid for Platinum right there. Of course, I already had Vicki 2 so could upgrade. I would have had to pay another $70 just to dress her--instead it cost about $12 with Platinum. Worth it, worth it. worth it. Don't forget to get the injection pose builder so you can store your new characters-- and you'll be churning them out--lean and mean. Emily
