Quote - In spite of their asthetic superiority in anime, I'm willing to wager that few-to-none reading this have heard of Yuki, Kururu, or Nanana, let alone know that they're free, letting alone still where to get them. More on that in a second...

Yuki is great and Kururu is a very well put together simple figure that is starting to catch on. There are tons of stuff out there for her and I will be releasing a few freebies for her soon as soon as I get modeling software working again (Damn you microsucks for them updates!)
Another under mentioned figure is Maya Doll (free also). She has her quirks but works well.

Quote - The other thing to keep in mind is --be it for sale or for free-- to pay attention to marketing BEYOND the Poser forums. DAZ and Poser's names have a reach way the hell beyond this little incestuous world that we type the occasional line of prose to. I can go to any generic graphics house, say "Apollo", and nearly everyone there would reply with "???" Mention DAZ or Poser, and most would know right away what I'm talking about.

Beg to differ!

I work with several here  in  NY as a network consultant.  You say Poser and you would get laughed at. Most of the guys/gals there don't take poser all too seriously because it lacks what most of them need, POWER. They could give a flying rats--- about which figure you use or how you use the program. See to them Poser is a child's toy that is played with not as a functional graphics program.
