I wonder you can understand the funny translation, but this is newest information for new "TERAI YUKI". Following is from Mask-da's blog. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://maskda.blog5.fc2.com/blog-entry-118.html Anyway, they plan to release in 3rd week of October.

So I wonder if those of us who bought her will have to pay more for the fixed release or if it will be free. Marque

Thats a hard read :) I hope that we get the new figure for free, butthe 'middle class and high class" person I think is an insult possibly directed at ef. That was my gist of the message. Anywho, I have a Yuki Starter pak that is ready for release, I will have to update it to the new JP's once it is but I hope that the character isn't changed too much cause I love her the way she is. It would be nice to have ef say whats going on with the character I have emailed them 2x but still no answer.

Thanks for the info ytetsu, is good to know that they are trying to correct EF/CP mistakes . . .

Hard to say, but I think "middle class person" and "high class person" means "intermediate Poser user" and "expert Poser user." As opposed to beginners. I don't think it was meant as an insult.

randym77 You are right. This is a summary. Main target user is beginner. Version of CR2 is 5. (They think that user stil using P4 is advanced user, so the user can correct this.) New grouping, JPs, materials, UVs, and different OBJ. Buttock is added. All parts are symmetric now. #I will report you when next information is up.

2nd information. Clothings are alse re-grouped and convert to poser by Mr.Billy. Eraring is posable now. Breast MT for TERAI costume. And bikini will be added. Mr.Billy also makes hand pose. http://maskda.blog5.fc2.com/blog-entry-119.html

Thanks for the translation. Sounds promising!

Hello all,

We ran into contract problems with TY unrelated to the actual content itself so it was best for us to pull her from the US market. I went to Japan last week to meet with some of the developers there, including Kutsugi-san and try to work out the agreement issues so that we could again offer her to US customers(she's still available in Japan). Unfortunately Kutsugi-san was ill and I was unable to meet with him. I did however meet with several others and see a proposal for recutting TY in a new fasion. I was shown a new cut with another joint but it's not the buttock in the V3 sense and frankly some of their ideas for future content and Poser features, even beyond Terai Yuki, are very innovative.

They requested that they be able to recut her in this new fashion, and while TY was avery good seller and feedback on her was extremely good here in the US, we of course obliged.

Terai Yuki is very personal to Kutsugi-san and e frontier feels that his personal attachment to his artwork is most important.
In a nutshell, we're hoping that what they do will be fresh and innovative. I don't currently have the production schedule nailed down, but my request through my collegues in e frontier Japan was that whatever time is needed, be taken.

And yes if you have purchased TY already the update will absolutely be free. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thanks,

EFSteve
