I dunno...seems like when characters do look "different," all people do is gripe. M3 is "too feminine," Judy "looks like an alien," Dina is "fugly." I think DAZ makes the characters look the way they do because that's what customers want. While I can understand the desire for variety, I also sort of want a standard. I can empathize with the point of view of the person who started this thread. It sure would be nice to be able to use all the cool clothes and stuff without having to buy dozens of different characters first. In a way, it really does remind me of the early days of the personal computer. Will that cool model you sink your cash into turn out to be an Amiga, an Apple, or an IBM? Only time will tell.
