Quote - Papa:

Yes, I have seen those, but the Spaki one is basically just updated morphs for the V3 head I was told awhile back. The Kaimira figure and others have been in the works for over a year or more now. One can only believe a new figure when it actually is released because there have been talk and teases for a LONG time now. However, nothing ever comes to market. Yes, I know it takes time and a lot of work, I'm just making general statements of talk of NEW female figures has been just that for a very long time now. Hopefully at least one or two will eventually make it to market in the next 6 months. One can hope. :)

...as cobaltsdream mentions above, my model is not based on V3 in any way - it's a new model.  As for whether/when she might ever be released... I have no news on that.

Actually, I think Daz has done some great work over the years, considering what they have to work with. V3 bends better than V2, S3 bends better than V3 and Aiko (arguably) bends better than S3, so they've made good efforts in that regard.

The problem is that they are still running into limits imposed on them by the Poser rigging system.  Barring some 'outside-the-box' solutions with clever rigging (which ie. Anton might have achieved with Apollo (I don't own it, so I can't say)), they have to rely more and more on JCMs, which some end-users and 3rd party developers will bash them for.

So I don't think your critera stated above will really be satisfied without changes within Poser itself.
