This is the kind of work I would like to see SM put into the legacy content.  I understand leaving it alone for historical/curiosity purposes, but when I see what can be done with the older content I can't help but think "why isn't this what comes with Poser instead of the same figure from 10-15 years ago?"

And if they don't want to do it themselves, they could just call out to the community for improved legacy content.

"Have you made significant alterations to a legacy figure by morphing, material or joint changes?  Do you feel your modified figure improves considerably on the original?  Produce an image of your figure alongside the original content with a brief description of your modifications and send it to us for evaluation.  Your modified figure may be considered for future Poser content distributions..."

Or something like that.
