LOL!

Quote - If, for example, you were to make a new figure from scratch that can wear all of V4's clothes, that would be convenient for those who have a "closet" full of V4 stuff but want something really new and not just another (good) version of V4.  It would not need to be supported as a stand alone.

That's an interesting idea...if you had a new WM character with same proportioins, but perhaps different joint locations, and used the WM's for bending, would that work?

Then vendors can make clothes for it, and those clothes are backwards compatible to WM V4? 

interesting...
