Is another figure warranted? Depends on what it has to offer and to who. Compatability (or not) with other figures? Be nice to have texture compatibility with some popular existing figure, even if it's an aftermarket remap kit. Wardrobe Wizard compatibility would be a must. User licence? Depends on how the figure is generated - Original work or derived? Liberal as possible. Morph injection --- like/dislike? Too complex and prone to problems. Age? Variable, with more realistic face shapings, smile, and expression settings. Perhaps a mesh following the basic muscles and fat-pads of the face and body. Realistic or cartoon? My preference is realistic. Ease of use. When it takes ten minutes to find the dials to make a figure smile, have we gone too far? Yes. I wonder how practical it would be to do a figure with (for instance) an underlying virtual "skull" corresponding to basic bones, carilages, muscles and fat pads with body handles or some such for shaping, and a "skin" that recontours accordingly (including eye placement). A self-contained product, perhaps a more complex base system figure with the capability to spawn simpler free-standing figures with a subset of expression and posing morphs might work.
