I think someone else better explain that. I'm not sure either. There are two V3 figures at Daz; one is a 2005 figure. That figure doesn't have injection channels so you can't use the millions of character addons that people have made for V3, but you can use the clothing. The free V3 character is the "old" V3, and has injection channels and you can use the clothing, PLUS the character addons that people have made. For more detail someone else will have to explain because all of this confuses me, lol

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
