3. Increased spinal flexibility. Currently what we have is hip, abdomen, chest, and neck (and in some cases, neck 2). That basically puts a hinge at L5 (lumbar5, at the top of the pelvis), around T12 (bottom of the ribcage), around C7-T1 (top of the ribcage), and the neckhead, which usually sits around C1. With maybe another bone around C3-C4. There should be at least 1, possibly 2, added bones between ribs and hips. The thoracic part of the column is the most rigid, but even that has some side to side bending of a few degrees (but that -should- be doable with morphs that are linked to the model section's controls).

Along that note, it would also be neat to include dials that split poses between several levels. For example, when you turn the head of a figure left or right, divide the turn between the head and neck sections as it would happen naturally.
