Thank you PhilC. 
I wish I had gotten Poser Pro instead but I guess I was all caught up in the excitement of Poser 8 without knowing everything about it. I was became familiar with Poser because I used a Poser 7 demo.
I mostly use Poser to help assist me in figure drawing. 
I guess the only course of action would be to buy those human artist mannequins from Blick Art Store and use them as a basis for creating generic human figures I can modify at will.
I appreciate your insight PhilC. For now on when I purchase software I'll be sure to ask longtime users that way I'll know what to expect.
