I can help you with the combining of figure the only way to save combined figures is to just save them (file/save or save as.). Unless someone else has discovered differently which is very possible. You can't save 2 different characters as one in the figures library it will only save one at a time , which ever one is the main one at that time. The create new figure button doesn't seem to do anything except with my computer freeze it up. When I first got Poser 4 I tried making a centaur as they show you in the book got frustrated called MC and was told I was actually trying to do something that isn't that easy. Then I was told about Renderosity ( which was Poser forum then). I hope this helps somewhat
