I find both the high quality of the modelling and the undeniable cuteness to be very impressive, but have declined the bandwagon for now because it's just not along the lines of what I want to do. That could change in the future. I sooooo agree with dialyn on this. I'm no prude, but to me Koshini is a charming girl, not just another sexpot, sheesh. It's precisely the playful innocence that the character suggests which I find endearing. I know, she looks like she could be 18-21 or so, but dang, give those hormones a rest for a few minutes, wouldya? :-) I don't mind nekkid Vickie. She looks adult and is adaptable to a huge number of character types and purposes. Why Koshini? Because there's something for everyone out there. People like all sorts of not-realistic characters, more than ever these days. Ever checked out the IT department of just about any company? You'll find action figures, dolls, toy robots, all that stuff happily enjoyed by perfectly healthy adults. They help to brighten days in small ways. It's nice to keep the kid inside of you alive and well. I've got the first set of "The Homies" staring at me right now from atop my monitor. They crack me up. For those who don't know, they're tiny figures of urban Chicano character types. Stereotypes, maybe, but they're meant to be cool and cute. They've inspired some seriously overbaked controversy in the past, but I like 'em. Especially since the LAPD doesn't. :-) Now if there were "Homies" figures for Poser, I'd get 'em in a sec. Koshini is for girls. (kidding...)
