Obviously, people are polarized on the Miki issue. I agree that there is a very big need for genuine ethnic Poser figures other than Caucasian. I want them - I'll buy them when I see them. Hell, I even bought Miki, which I don't particularly find to be a great figure or a great value. But it fills a hole in my runtime until something better comes along. Bottom line: my motivation in writing this is to say something to the "content providers": lighten up. We pathetic, unenlightened consumers are entitled to our opinions as to what kind of value specific Poser packages provide. Poser is my hobby, and I spend WAY too much on it, much of this spending on a whim. But I still appreciate reading people's opinions on the value which packages provide to them. Just because you spent 4,000 hours perfecting your latest texture set or pose set or figure doesn't mean that it's worth $29.95 or $49.95 or $99.95 (?!?) to me or anyone else. Hell, you can spend the next 736 years building a full scale replica of the Washington Monument out of ziti and Elmer's glue and it won't be worth $29.95. Value to the (Poser) consumer is measured by quantity and quality and novelty and utility. Provide all four and we will beat a path to your door - some of you do (in my view) and you get my repeat business. Check your orders - you know who you are.
