There is only one thing that prevents this (a community Poser figure) from happening. Money. I have spent 8 months working on my figures, originally intended as market place items. I dropped work on them when Vicky and Mike where released for free. I am prepared to work on great Poser figure, but before I start I need to know these things: Who will head the project? Will it be free, if not, who decides who gets paid what? If it is free, will it be free for all, and free for redistribution and improvement? Who will host the files, and pay the bandwidth on the downloads? (I have released free models that had 800 downloads in a day, and that costs money) So you see my problem. I do not have the time to head a project like this, nor do I have the resources to pay for all this. Something like this could be brilliant, or it could just lead to a lot of squabling and indecision if the person who heads it is not a strong and dedicated person. I have loads of experiments, rigs, models, research and ideas, and I am willing to share, but not if that knowledge is going to lead to a failed character and the advances will just be snatched up by DAZ or Curious Labs and incorporated into the next junk figure they make.
