Tony, the same can be said for most of the figures that are included with Poser. They aren't symmetrical either. And aren't you one of their beta testers, and have been for quite a while? 

I agree there should have been more checks and balances done with Scarlet, but it doesn't make her unusable. Her mesh can be corrected without having to undo everything. It's not like Sydney or the other G2 females, where their geometry isn't even identical from one side to the other. Yet people still use them and make content for them. And those figures came from a full studio that should have known better than to release something like that - figures that are impossible to use with some of the features of the current version of their own software, such as the mirroring functions.

The asymmetry issues that scarlet has can be adjusted. It's not that far off to begin with.  The geometry itself is identical across the X axis. It's just alignment issues that are the problem - which can be corrected with morphs or corrected in the base geometry and saved back out. The same cannot be said for the G2 girls. Their geometry would have to be split, mirrored and re-welded, and all the morphs that exist for them would have to be rebuilt entirely. Not the case with Scarlet.

You are right in that these things should have been paid closer attention to from the beginning, with any figure that gets created, but it's not the end of the world and it doesn't make the entire figure garbage as you are suggesting. They are issues that are fixable, and I don't see any reason for her to be pulled from the market. Considering she's #2 on the top selling items in the MP right now, I don't see that happening anyway.
