Sorry Dave, but it looks like she has a scrotum :-)

I'm not religious on polycount. I think it may be a selling factor with new users. I don't know that people who've been around awhile and been bitten before are that easily impressed. Actually, you also find people using the 'turbo-mega-optimized mesh - Only 1 Poly!' argument as a selling point as well. I wouldn't bite based soley on either one.

I think Dave is spot on with the texture compatibility point. It may be somewhat easier to find good quality textures these days but I still don't see that many that I like. There is also always a dearth of good ethnic ones. It's not realistic to expect a new figure to be well served in that department natively. Clothing, maybe you get a converter or go dynamic or do nudes. Hiar can be tweaked as can poses but no skin = no win for me. The 1st thing that occurred to me r.e. Cynthia was with luck she'll have one decent base texture and maybe someone will create one or two more.

I think that BVH has been around long enough not to be deterred by honest opinions. Maybe critique of a novice needs to be done a bit differently but either way, as long as it's not simply mean or nasty...

I used to get very excited about every new figure - and an anatomically correct one, whoo wee. Now, I more realistic about what I'm likely to actually get much use from. Now, gasp!, I may have enough. I'm more likely to want a cute toon than a another general figure. I'll probably get Cynthia because the collecting bug still lives, and BVH does great work. 

Thanks to the OP for the heads up. Since most of BVH's free garments are now only for his commercial figures AFAIK, I haven't been there lately & would have missed this new figure.
