The figure bases were created by the same person. Also do not confuse a figure base to a character. G2F & G3F are figure base platforms, generic, no special features ie blank canvas, no name. V7 or V6 are characters built on those bases, and characters are developed by different artists. The question is, what is Pauline? Is she a generic figure base platform or a character?

So who's confusing base figures? I -- and I assume most people reading this thread -- already KNOW that G2F and G3F are base figures, and after reading the thread over at RDNA, it looks like Paulette is a base figure, too. I simply said that G2F and G3F look different enough that they could have been developed by different artists or different teams of artists. G2F is much more realistic-looking right out of the box (so to speak), while G3F looks even blander and less appealing than the original Genesis did. At first glance, the only visual improvement she had (aside from a couple of extra joints in the upper chest and neck) was that her throat and the top of her feet are a little more natural-looking. I know JPayne is not using a stock G3F for his artwork, but worked-up copy of V7, and he's getting 'way better results out of her than just about anyone else I see using her. I see a lot of renders of V7 where her skin look less like actual human skin (certainly less V6's skin did) and more like a slightly-deflated ballon or mylar bag, with an odd crinkly look to it.

I'm not a big fan of the previous Poser people, and while I'm not exactly blown away by the couple of images I've seen of Paulette, I've also seen worse (much, much worse) and it would nice to have Poser figure I could really get behind.
