Here's a quick rundown M3-- He doesn't muscle up well at all, if you want the thin, pretty boy to feminine look, he'll do just fine. If you turn the muscle dials just a little you can give him a nice physique, but he's not really great for football players, warlords, barbarians and such. M2-- M2 is a killer figure, still among the best of the male figures, he muscles up well and at default has a pretty nice build. His face is very masculine and has a great variety ESPECIALLY with the Boris add-on by capsces. David-- David is what M3 should have been to begin with. Like M2 he muscles up well, great face too. He is very different from M2 however, if you decide on another male figure, you should defintely keep david in mind for a future purchase. Daz did a really good job on him The Freak--The Freak is one of a kind, one huge freakish dude, that you can't help but love. Only problem with him is, if YOU ARE not making a pic that needs a freakish guy in it you can't use him. His hands, feet and calves can't be resized, to make him look more normal Hiro--Has a youngish look to him, great for anime, i've only used him a few times, but I do like him. They really did him beautifully, because you can also use davids morph injections on him. Apollo Max-- Now here's the tricky one, not a bad figure, but needs work, IF you clothe your figures and put them in everyday situations he will probably work well for you. IF you do nudes and physique images he is a NO. He has muscle dials, but after you use them he looks bloated and has a bad case of water retention. Actually he looks best in his default state. Now capsces Cole pack (runtimedna.com)helps him a great deal, but I'm still having trouble giving him a look i'm happy with, still playing with him though. James-- james is a great looking figure, he definitely has a problem when posing his arms up though, he in only available with poser 6 Those are the ones I use, there are others,like the ones by pdxjims (poserpros.com) Hope this helps, feel free to browse my gallery, i'm one of the people that only uses male figures. :)
