actually Joe, i think that's a great point, a "realistic" model as a starting point, ok, so people can add the morphs they want to or not, I don't see it harming anyone, vendors would have to adapt to new figure dimensions, proportions or continue to support the older models. So many times I have heard the argument that the vendors don't like change and people should vote with their wallets if vendors don't adapt. maybe just maybe, if a good new figure that fullfilled both sides of the desires list, came along,  then vendors would be crazy not to jump on board and provide support for it, heeheee. Who knows someone reading this thread or others like it with the skill might say "Hmmm sounds like a lucrative proposition, hey maybe it will become so popular that SM will want to include it as a base figure in some future release".

If I believed everything I read in the forums and here I paraphrase rather than submit my opinion or thoughts, it won't happen because vendors don't like change, they become used to a rigging style, have their preset blanks and adapt them for new clothes etc.

If that's the case then the future is pretty bleak imho, as it stands at the moment as far as I can see, the lines in the sand are drawn, there are 3 distinct camps, the new wave of Hermaphrogens, the series 3 and 4 supporters and the rest.

Does that mean there is never any space or future for a figure that changes the boundaries, no i don't think it does. At some point people will get fed up with the figures they use and consequently the demand for add ons for those characters will diminish, not saying it will happen this year, but happen it will....Maybe it will occur overnight when the figure hits the MP, maybe it will filter in slowly, like the serpent tempting Eve in the garden of Eden, I already have a name for it...Exodus.........and Mz Exodus :)

Got to be a couple, surely :)

PS I still can't understand why realistic is BAD...
