This is Eric from DAZ Productions. Thank you for your feedback on the hair styles. I thought it might be helpful to explain that we actually built these hair styles to a client's custom specifications in every detail. They needed the hair to be according to their designs, without transparency, and of very low resolution (for real-time web deployable characters). We didn't expect these products to have the wide appeal of styles such as Vicki's Layered Flip or Michael's Wedge Cut, but wanted to make these products available to those interested in more simple, low resolution models. And because these styles are more comparable to our standard Poser hairstyles than to the types of hair we regularly sell, they are priced at half the cost of our other hairstyles. Still, we feel they are a good product and will be valuable to many users. After all, our client was very pleased. :) I also wanted to write to explain some of our plans here at DAZ. It's a good point that these hairstyles are the first products released under the DAZ banner, and we don't want you to think that this is indicative of what's soon to come. In fact, the reason that we posted these models is because we are still working on a few other, more exciting products, but wanted to post something that was already finished and actually had a price attached to it. (Since the formation of DAZ Productions we've posted around 10 free models (not including the free hair maps and update files this weekend) and unfortunately haven't been able to add much more to our store. You may be happy to know, however, that we are nearing completion of Michael's Clothing Pak 2, and expect that to be available soon. Also, I'd like to appologize for the temporary mix up on the price of these hairstyles. They are now back to $9.95 in the online store. If any of you purchased them at $14.95, please contact us at 1(800)267-5170 or tech@daz3d.com with your order number and we will refund you the difference. Thanks. Eric Allen DAZ Productions
