The problem IS with multiple figures. I already have one M3 figure in the scene. When I bring another M3 in and then try to give him (M3 #2) a beard, it is conformed to the face shape of M3 #1 (even though it is pasted on M3 #2's face).

And then when I open the mouth of M3 #2, the beard does not move with it, although when I move his head around, the beard DOES move.

Another bizarre side problem that I just discovered is that when I put the M3 Millennium Beard on M3 #1 and open his mouth, part of the inner mouth parts of M3 #2 start to move as well (a hole opens up under his jaw). This is very strange. Help!

PS - This is a very small detail, but I still contend that there are no translate dials under the HEAD section of the M3 Millennium Beard. There are scale dials though. The translate dials are always found at the very bottom of the dial column and are labeled X TRAN, Y TRAN and Z TRAN.

PPSS -- Importing a second figure in as a prop won't work for me because I need him fully functional, for a fight scene.
