This is strange in the main because APOLLO MAXIMUS technically renders EVERY OTHER FIGURE MADE COMPLETELY OBSOLETE!!!!!!

Not true, not when you look at it from a technical standpoint. All that supermorph/cross-character stuff, such as turning V3/4 into a dude or a superfreak, the whole Unimesh idea, morphing any figure too much beyond what it was designed as creates serious problems with textures and even rigging. Problems that can be somewhat fixed by the developer, but not really by the end user, particularly not the typical point'n'click Poserite.

The best figures are the ones  that were completely designed to be one thing, and developed as such.

That's just my opinion on the whole deal and definitely not an anti-Apollo or anti-Anton statement.

DAZ has gone quite a ways towards helping to spread this myth that all characters should be able to be created equal, with their uni-mesh snowjob, and the Poserverse gets less and less original with each year,largely due to DAZ' efforts to pwn it with their overly complex, yet overly simplified figures that they try to pass off as universally interchangeable.
