Quote - Have you seen Rex? Maybe he doesn't adhere to whatever it is you find appealing in a male (I know that can be personal taste thing) but I found the retopo Darrell did over my sculpt, while not 100% the way I would have done it, to be quite morphable. In fact, I find it lends itself more easily to more extreme morphs than some of the older male meshes released with Poser in the past.
Now that I've had a chance to look at Rex and Roxie, I can say that overall I like their shapes. The faces are definitely the best feature, but its the details that make all the difference. So I still have to agree, James I and Jessie I are still the best poser figures to date in terms of realism.
I don't want to sound overly critical tho, cause I know first-hand how much work goes into building a figure, and I'm sure working with deadlines and time constraints to get them into the program prior to launch has a lot to do with it. So I'll leave out all my nit-picks. There are rigging issues and weight mapping issues I see just in 5 minutes of fiddling with them that should have been addressed before release.
Overall they are definitely an improvement over what the last 2 poser releases gave, but still have a long way to go.
