"There really doesn't seem to be a lot of stuff done for Mike 3, compared to Vicky 3. Maybe that reflects a general lack of interest in the part of developers?" Actually, any time a female figure is released, it always gets more stuff than male figures. There's a lot of stuff for M3 being done. True, at the same point there was a lot more for V3, but that's the usual thing that happens. Compare the toal amount of stuff done for M2 compared to V2. There's probably 3 or 4 times the available content for V2 over M2. There's just more interest in female figures. There are definitly fewer textures being done though (for everyone). I think this is as much because of the UTC than any other reason. The V2 and M2 texture market is pretty well saturated, although good very high quality textures are always appreciated (hear that Catherina and StefyZZ?). Why buy a new texture for either V3 or M3 when you've got a great one for V2 or M2 that will convert? Clothing is coming in a big way soon too for M3. Look for a shift from barbarian wear to more normal clothing soon for M3 and the Freak. I do wish there were more M3 hair sets. Neftis seems to be the only one who's making an effort there. She does great stuff (the best), but we need more. I'd love to see an update to the bangs cut from Daz, or better yet, a more realistic version reflecting current styles. ...sigh... Oh yeah. The new figures. I posted some shots of them in an earlier thread (I'm beta testing, and I do have permission). The female figure will include some very interesting posibilities using the V3 male morph set. The result is a sort of cross between M2 musculature, V3 base height, and a bit of the Freak. The new guy is pretty neat and combined with M2 and M3 adds a lot of variation to the mix. The male figure has other potential. Looks great for fantasy, but I've been doing some work making an early teen boy with it. It fills the gap between the PT Boy and M3. Sort of a 12 to 15 year old look. And as for other potential...well, it's my precioussssss, precioussssssss.... (Dodger is going to kill me). Jim
