Quote - Is there a big educational market out there for 3D-figures for children? Would not a default figure with a handful of clothing items be entirely sufficient for that kind of age range?

There's a lot of content already shipped with Poser that would seem to be entirely sufficient for this, or the default Victoria 4? Apart from art-related things, models for eyes, ears, inner organs etc., for example to learn about the digestive tract would come to mind- but probably not necessarily a state-of-the art figure with lots of clothing, hair, expressions, etc.?

Going OT, But when I went to school (25 years ago?), I recall some rather educational Biology classes at the end of that age range (no pun). A lot of giggeling from all corners, certainly, but it would not have occurred to people to censor nude pictures on the topic in textbooks, nor the anotomical models that belonged to the biology collection. I believe the philosophy behind it was not to support the future of the porn industry - but rather that young people would be able to make more informed life-decisions if they are ..well.. actually informed.  I recall spending a year at a US highschool some 6 years later, and the content of "Public Health" classes would instead focus on a "Just Say No!" type of philosophy. Cultural Differences, in capital letters.

Absolutely! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks educational figures with vital parts missing would be completely wrong. But I suspect this is largely a cultural thing, like you say.
