I already have V3..this new pack is morphs only, right? It is morphs only, but it's an immensely complicated figure. There's no injection, everything is pre-loaded, and she doesn't take the standard V3 injected morphs, which is a pain in the ass when trying to tweak expressions. (You can add the missing channels with morph manager.) Does it really give you morphing abilities you didn't have before for that price?? It depends on what you're looking for. Hmann's morphs are great, and she does add a lot of versatility to V3. Definitely morphs that aren't available elsewhere. The inbuilt expressions are wonderful. Personally I would have preferred an injection-based system so I could easily mix and match the new gen morphs with the standard V3. There are a couple of standard v3 body morphs that I always use and I miss them when working with the new gen figure. OTOH, that's because so far I'm too lazy to crack open morph manager and do what I need to do. With the new system in P6 for storing morphs I'm thinking I may get around to doing that - it sounds like it will be worth the effort at last. So is she worth it? For myself, I'm not sure. I'll let you know a few weeks after my P6 arrives! For others, I'd say it depends on the type of art you do. Getting conforming clothing to fit her custom body morphs is possible but not easy; you're better off with dynamic clothing. If you do close-up portraits she's not brilliant (IMHO) but pull the camera back a little and she looks good. If you like extreme expressions (think somewhere between the standard morphs and the kind of thing capsces does so well) she's great. If you just want a lot of extra facial morphs she's a good investment.
