IIRC, the FaceRoom limitation was purely financial.  WOPAT (Whoever Owned Poser At the Time), didn't want to pay whatever Daz was asking to enable their figures.

I'm not sure what Daz is up to but Daz Studio is apparently now AKA "Super Avatar Studio" and is somehow tied in with the 3D avatar creation technology they got when they merged with Gizmoz. With that and the new game SDK, it looks like Vickie will be showing up in a lot more places.
