I confess I haven't recently checked out the preview site but there's a lot of kit on there for Mike. Several historical uniforms, suit, pants and other assorted items including an excellent western outfit that can be customised for casual wear. One thing to remember is that Mike 2 will wear Mike clothes. Only thing different is in the morphs and most clothing doesn't carry the morphs for these characters. Programs like The Tailor (Daz) will allow you to morph items to fit but it's not a perfect solution. Morphs on clothing unless there's sufficient mesh will result in the clothing and texture map stretching. Anyway, I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed with Poserworld, I certainly haven't been. Just as a quick example, I have 123 clothing items for mike in my Poserworld directory and a bunch on cd that I haven't unpacked. Allowing that some of these are related (right and left boot) there's probably around 65 single clothing items and another dozen or so that I've not unpacked yet. Steve has also been making things for V3/M3 and making "retro" items for the earlier models. So you won't run out of stuff because he's moving on. The guy's a workaholic so there'll always be something. As an added bonus he takes requests for items. Sometimes they get made, sometimes not. It depends on his schedule and what's in the pipeline. Also watch out for items from a vendor called Thip (Daz, PoserStyle and the store here). He makes a good few items for Mike and they're excellent quality. Oh, erm. The foot thing. Trust me, you don't want to spend too long near my feet, they have a government health warning on them. :) Seriously though, hope some of this is helpful.
