I think I'm going to wait and see what you guys come up with before buying any more DAZ animals! Since they are the one thing that I can use my "DAZ Original" $5 on each month, I have a bunch of them lined up in the wish list. However, these are all relatively old models from what I can tell, highly priced for starters and only affordable if you happen to be a Platinum Club member (which a lot of people aren't)! Their Walrus, for example, sells for $27.96. I got $8.39 off as a Platinum club member and my monthly $5 off on top of that. I ended up paying close to $15 for the Walrus at the end of it all. Is he worth it??? Well.......he's ok for an "extra" in a scene, but probably not as the "star" :) Up to now, I think VIP and noggin have some of the nicer animal "stars" :) A badger would be wonderful!! I think Noggin has a croc hauksdotter and VIP has a nice prarie dog!
