I think the thing to remember is that this is not guaranteed to be free for long. Which is probably why they make you go through their store for it. Either their planning on removing it's free status when they've sufficiently saturated the market against the free MayaDoll and low-cost AnimeDoll figures OR they're doing the age-old movie publisher's trick of "coming only to theatres" to create a false sense of urgency. Either one feels like "dirty" business tricks... That said, it does look good. The eyes differentiate it from AnimeDoll and allow for more 'animatable' look; whereas I have found AnimeDoll to look better for the classic manga-like still images. The hips do bend somewhat strange (as has been mentioned above) - which they're unlikely to change now that they've created & sold alot of clothing based on the JP's. All in all, if DAZ were to make this figure "truly" free, I would be all for it. However, I was burned by their Sara vs Sara2 fiasco and have trouble trusting their actions now...
