I think some people treat Poser that way when they first start out. I think the way Poser is made you can develop your modeling skills little by little depending less and less on basic figures and poses which is the nice thing about it. It is definately not a one trick pony. Sara - is that the free model from 3d universe? That is a very good model from what I've seen and read about it - haven't played with it yet. You never cease to amaze me the way you able to create a unique fantasy world with Bryce and Poser. This looks very good from what little I remember about Barbie - my cousin Susan had a collection which when we were children would show off at the drop of a hat.
