This isn't an ad for our Gryphon2, this is me setting some things said straight.

"Let's see... Sixus's grifins modeling and texure time.. 2 weeks. Paul's Griffin developement time.. 7 MONTHS."

I don't know where you got 2 weeks, for a completed final figure....Les may have worked on modeling it for about two weeks...I don't know...I don't keep track, but I do know that it took longer than that to get out. Also, why does it matter how long it takes ? Are you trying to imply that because Les is faster than most that our stuff is crap ?

"Paul's griffin has geo switching in him to hide the wings, geo switching to convert him into a hippogriff, and instead of one blanket wing surface, researched and modeled the wings based on actual bird wings. Each wing has many MANY friggin parts to them and erc built in to not only move them, but fold them as a proper bird's wings do. I think he spent 2 months alone on th wing design and execution. And each friggin feather is even modeled, transmapped and textured, to give them a more realistic look."

I don't know what you are talking about....the wings are more than 'blanket surface' and have individually modeled and transmapped feathers and yes, even ERC controls.

"I'd compare them to a ferrarri, and a yugo.. yeah the yugo will get you where you want to go, but which would you rather be seen in, and actually drive? Which has more features?"

I think that we SHOULD charge more to the retail consumers....I have had more than one email stating the sentiment of "I thought that your figure was going to be complete crap because it is so cheap. Damn, was I wrong!"

So, in short, you can drive your YUGO up your A@# and park it!

To Paul, the creator of the Griffin....no hard feelings. :) Yours has a different look than ours and there is always room in the Poser Universe for variation and choices.
