Is the point just to have something "new"???

Well, it appears that the creator is creating the figure and attempting to solve common character problems with Poser characters. They're also responding to and acting on community requests, it seems. And, the figure doesn't look to bad, from what has been shown.

No, it's not some sort of character-panacea figure. But, it appears to be a lovingly crafted one and the creator is communicating with the community regularly. As with anything, we'll see how good it is when it's finished and released. That can't be a "bad" thing in any sense of the word, can it?
