To add to the above ... I am NOT trying to make it look like I think the DAZ products are overpriced; only that Miki is NOT overpriced in comparison.

I like the DAZ figures as much as everyone else and use them often. They are great figures ... but I have yet to see ethnic characters from the DAZ figures that don't look like they are Amer-Asian, or African American, or some other ethnic/American blend. You CAN'T get the Millenium look out of them totally.

I truly hope that Miki is the start of a trend. Yes, it will be a niche market ... but I was immediately attracted to her realism. She's not "ugly" ... she is "natural." Very much so.

There is a place for the V3s and the Stephanie Petites, and the Apollo Maximis (LOL - is that the correct plural?), and the Natalias, and the DinaV's. What work for some don't work for others, and vice versa.

But there is ALSO a place, and a very BIG void, for realistic ethnic figures. Bravo for eFrontier for making Miki available to the US Market. I hope we see more ethnic figures.
