"so the Daz claim to the figures is an outright lie?" No. However, the conclusions leapt to by many people regarding statements made by them confuse and sidestep the claims they have made -- aided and abetted by statements of claim that are rather, um, poorly worded. "What is up with the Poser People at Curious Labs, Why can't they Use or ask the people at Daze3d to use Victoria for the their future Models, Victoria, Michael and all the Millennium Family are a far Superior Models then anything they have ever had or released, I can't understand that one??? " hrmm. Going for my best guess here on what you are actually asking.... Could be because the DAZ makes more money from selling the figure independently, and CL/EF didn't want to spend the money themselves when they can hire other folks tro make new figures for a lot less. As for "Victoria, Michael and all the Millennium Family are a far Superior Models then anything they have ever had or released" -- I'll beg to differ in several aspects, as I find them less than than superior to some of the figures -- just shows that personal preference (in this case, the preferences of the people who decide on the shiped content) plays a huge role in this. "Or does this refer only to birds, worms, and fish...?" nah. It applies only to things that actually exist. You can make a graven image, or a likeness, of anything that is not in the heaven above, the earth beneath, or the waters below.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
