Don is extremly limited to me. He has far fewer morphs, his muscle groups and control are crap compared to Mike 2. Mike comes with different morphs for all major muscles, he poses easier, and his musculature is much more human looking and less sharp. Don is a reworked Dork (P4 character). He can be made to look acceptable, and his face has potential. He is face room complient while Mike isn't. His body is awful. Mike works just fine in P5. The only thing that doesn't work is the face room, and the face room is pretty lame anyway (one of those P5 features that really need a rework). There's tons of clothing for Mike, and very little for Don. Mike is the standard for male Poser figures. M3 should be out in the next 3 to 4 months. See the notes about V2 and V3 below on what to expect. Eric is definitly in the minority in prefering Don to Mike. Most of us who are heavy male figure posers use Mike. Vicky comes in two main flavors, V2 and V3. V2 is the same level as Mike, V3 is much higher in resolution and has lots more potential. This potential comes with a price, she has a much higher overhead. 1 V3 figure is about all I can get to work at a time in P5. I can usually get 3 V2's. Their textures are not compatable, although you can purchase a texture converter that works great (at Daz, home of Mike and Vicky). V2 has more cloths than Barbie, and more shoes tham Imelda. She's the current standard for female figures. V3 is coming up fast though. Everyone seems to be making cloths for her, and there are ways of making V2 clothing fit her with tweaking. I'm a lot less familiar with V2 and V3 than I am with Mike. I primarily pose male figures, and do clothing mostly for them (modeling). I have 5 or 6 freebie packages for Mike posted here (Stud Mike sets and teh Imagination Gown). Mike and Vicky work with all aspects of P5 except the face room with no problems whatsoever. Don't let the P5 compatable stop you. Warning though! Getting Mike and/or a Vicky opens your wallet, and it'll never get shut again. There's so much neat stuff for them, and their what modelers and texturers produce for. I don't think I've ever seen a Don clothing set for sale, and d*mn few for Judy.
