Definitely going to keep an eye on this one.

Not desperately interested in the female as Poser is full of females, but I can see a sort of matching pair of figures would be a plus in a lot of ways.

Good to know you're planning other stuff to go with the eventual release. Nothing worse that a great new figure with zero to little other support. Not so bad for me as I mostly make dynamic stuff for my characters now, but it's always fun to pick up extras for a new figure straight away. Gives me more incentive to want to use them.
