Sometimes I am astonished about the discussions here. One group is stating its too expensive means everything that is not for free is too expensive. Even V3 is not really for free. You have to buy morphs, hair, clothes, textures ... to have full use of her. Or you have to look for freebies, done by people who like to contribute something to the community. But to do so, they need companies like Renderosity, CL and others that provide the space for contribution, support and all the stuff around. This is not really for free!! They have to pay for this. Also the artists, if they put their work on a figure, what do you think how many manmonths are in a figure like MIKI or V3? If they wouldn't be able to earn some money out of their work, who would create new figures? Sure I am also collecting freebies and I use them but very often I need something that is not available as a freebie and instead of sitting down for hours to create something (BTW, that would look mostly ugly) I look around through the shops and place an order. To be honest, most of the items are between 5 and 20 bucks and if you take your income per hour, its very cheap! And with this purchase you keep the artists busy and alive. In the other way, nobody is forced to buy MIKI or other figures. There are only 2 reasons to buy her: 1. you like her 2. you need her That's it! You can discuss here things that have to be improved but then you should have the figure and test it and then describe the things that don't work well exactly. Either one finds a workaround or you will get an update like done with Terai Yuki (HiRes). BTW, this is my private opinion and NO, I'm not a billionaire and I'm not an figure creator, I only want to be able to get the things I need for my hobby for a reasonable price in a good quality.
