Quote - Skipped through a lot of the thread but David, I have to take issue with you regarding the bending capabilities of older figures.  V1/2 ain't so good compared to V3 and V4 - and V3 is pretty awful in some respects.  Posette - forget it.  Stephanie 1 bends like glass.

Sure, all figures have some good posing ability but not many so far approach the standard of V4.  Even though I dislike the default shape and the mapping, it ain't a bad figure. 

And yes, I do know how to pose a figure correctly. :)

Avoid forearm side-to-side. Shins also. Ouch.

It's not the tool used, it's the tool using it
