The figures updater has been around since SR1 and fixes certain issues with the base figures (Lost in space folks) that come with Poser 5. rschulte. I installed it within a couple minutes of her post at RDNA, and I have not experienced the issue you described. I am about to reboot, but I am very happy with it so far -- it's resisting my attmepts to break it.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
