Someone forgot to mention Vittorio from PDXJims. David has the most flexibility in his face for doing morphing, Apollo has some plus points in that he has alot of morphing dials that the Millenium Figures are missing. The mapping on Apollo is still not 100% perfect but that was done intentionally done according to Anton Kisiel to allow the figure to be less memory intensive. Michael 3.0 has taffy-pulled shoulders which Curious Labs' James also inherited. David 3.0 lost the taffy pull shoulders but then lost all the morphing dials below the knee. When Luke came out, due to the restrictions of the US Marketplace, lost even more morphability (ie: you cannot make Luke look older than 16 if you are lucky)... He has serious problems when adding muscularity to him, his knees don't have the ability to match up to his calves and thighs. Hiro came out as an Anime character, and he is missing all the lower morphs like Luke. Michael and David are the most popular, however, David is the better figure. If you look at Jepe's morphs (Movie Men 1-5) you can see how flexible David is. Apollo Max is new, and has alot of features that are missing in the Millenium Figures, and that would probably give DAZ the needed kick to move forward and update the Millenium Figures. As the webmaster of MalePoserotica, a website geared towards all the Male figures for Poser, I have been pushing ApolloMax and trying hard to find people to make clothing for the male figures, but it seems that V3 is the only popular figure for clothing. So the reason ApolloMax, David , Hiro etc... have little to wear, is cause most makers of 3D clothing don't want to make stuff for Male Figures... as they are not as profitable. Sadly.
