Interesting comments. Ok, everyone step back from poser a second. Back? Good. Have you ever walked into a store, and seen a movie you had NO interest in at all, and thought it was rubbish? But it's only $10! It's a HUGE value! Think of the huge number of artists, and craftsmen who worked on it! Dissing that movie is a disservice! Everyone should buy it, and encourage everyone else to buy it as well! Even if it's a Catwoman, Ishtar, the Island, Sky Captain, or House of 1,000 corpses! Now that sounds really silly, doesn't it? People have different tastes, and what one person dispises, another loves, but there's NO reason at ALL to get angry because someone doesn't LOVE a new poser character. All those afforemention movies cost a LOT of cash to make, a LOT of man hours, and ALL have lost major amount of money, NOT because a lot of work was put into them, but because many people just decided they didn't like them for one reason or another. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. If the poser market gets big enough, characters like Miki will find their own audience, and it won't matter if many of dislike her or not. if it's NOT big enough yet, the artist will realize it, and make something more palatable to the majority of users. Same goes for Apollo. I've no desire to own him, because I don't use many male characters in my renders, and while I consider Anton a good freind and excellent content creator, I just don't care for Apollo's "look" for some reason. But that should be OK as well. Just like some people hate toon characters, and most of my products support them, and they probably hate my stuff.. and ya know what? That's OK too. I don't believe the entire community needs to love every single figure being released, and I value the right and ability for everyone to say "I hate this figure, and it's not worth one red cent." Ishtar is not worth one red cent to me. Rap music and polka music is not worth one red cent to me. I love old cheesy sci-fi/horror,and love soundtracks, classic music and disco, and some people they they are all not worth one red cent. And that's OK too. My personal take? Too many new human characters coming out way too fast. Too many for a lot of support for all of them, and too many similar characters. (What, 4 or 5 new Japanese female characters this last year alone?) But that's OK too. There may be a HUGE growing Japanese poser market we are unaware of, and that's a good thing. Plus we see many VERY creative japanese freebie outfits, and with wardrobe wizard support, some of them can be converted to characters we prefer. So at the end of the day, it's all good, even if the majority don't care for something. I'll take Furette over her any day.. ;)

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
