Yep, familiar with those. My point was that if you're going to market an "Authentic Japanese" character...well, I have no problem with a dark skin MAT or texture...BUT it shouldn't be the only option you have, if you still want to live up to the title of "authentic." Heck, even most of the "Goth girl" figures have options for normal skin tones. :) BTW Khrys, I think you put out a nice set with Jie Jie!
