Quote - V4, even with third party morphs to her, no matter what you do, she looks like V4, ditto for V3.

NOT true.  Do the morphs here look like V3?

No, they don't.

If a figure is well-made to start with, it can be morphed into something that looks nothing like the base figure.  If the morphs you're talking about "looked like V3" or "looked like V4," then I'd say that was the fault of the person creating the morphs, and not of the figure itself.

And while we're at it, do any of these morphs look like M3?

No, they don't.  And do any of these look like V3?

No, they don't.

There are a lot of "character" makers out there who do nothing but spin a couple of dials and call the result a "character."  Result?  It pretty much looks like the base figure.  Well, surprise, surprise!  But that's a far cry from doing a truly original, sculpted morph.  And if the result "looks like" the base figure, well, guess what?-- that's not the fault of the figure, but of the person creating the morph.
