Maybe Wardrobe Wizard has really improved in the past couple of years, but I have to admit that my figure preference has been steered also by the amount of support the figure received.

When Aiko 3 first came out I couldn't have cared less...to this day I think her head just looks strange and unappealling.  Nonetheless she became my figure of choice simply because there was SO MUCH being made to support her, and an EXTRAORDINARY amount of high quality items for FREE (Fredrik, Shukky, Sione, BATLAB, Yamato...this list just goes on and on...)

As far as her freakishly ugly head goes, I don't do a lot of renders with necks tilted at odd angles, so simply hiding the A3 head and parenting the head of a more attractive figure works just dandy for me.  For a while I was really wishing dphoadley would make a PosetteV3 - A3 hybrid...

(hint-hint...Happy Channukah, by the way!!)

My favourite model du jour is a frankenstein of Aiko 3 with MDP F-202's head, shaders, and any kind of modelled, non-trans-mapped hair.  Scale MDP's head at 120% (in relation to Aiko's body) and viola!
