She is WAY more expressive than Vickie. But you have to work for it (IE: actually be creative.). Her face is just as changeable as vickies, and in fact the eye shape morphs for EJ are just insane, you can make any eye shape, at all. The number of dials will overwhelm you at first though. IMO: EJ is not as easy to pose as V3. Her limits seem out of whack. I LOVE EJ! She is just great. But I am not gonna quit using V3 any time soon. Between the 2 I can create a wide variety of female characters (with a few posettes in the background :D) C'mon! She is only like $13 just get her already.
