biggert: Anyone who says they can whip up a figure in a day is full of soup. Maybe they can whip up something using Vicky/Mike by turning dials but a character from scratch? No way. Not photorealistic or as nice as DAZ's Vicky and Mike. They take months to complete. AND... I personally know the modeler who is mainly responsible for the creation of those models. Chris Creek is without a doubt one of the best modelers in the world. Buy from DAZ. They make good models.
