I'm not sure if I'm gonna like M5's default body type, but  there will be a lot of flexibility for other types.  I love the Freak 4, but didn't do much with him because of conforming clothes issue with him in Poser; even with the new "copy morph" and "copy scales" options although the clothes fit better, when I pose the figure there are problems.  most of these can be repaired in post work, but it's nicer to have things work right out of the box.  One thing I can say about Daz Studio is that conforming clothing for their figures work well in it.

I don't get the whole magnetize clothing concept either, perhaps I'll find a good tutorial that will help me to master it--but it seems very complicated.  I don't like to have to fuss over clothing, I want to spend more time composing my scene.

I'd love to use Behemoth 2 as a Freak alternative in Poser, but he's another one of those unsupported 3rd party figures--only 2 texture maps (unless you want to make a monster--there are a couple monster kits) for him and very little in the way of clothing.  I bought the Cross Dresser module so I could adapt clothes to him--but did I mention I don't like to fuss with clothes. 

I guess there is little hope we'll ever get the most recently updated version of Apollo Maxiumus is there?
