Bethany 7 is nothing more than V7 with a voluptuous morph built in. All of the sculpts are just minor variations of the base figure Now let's generate the TCO cost for the product. I'll use V4 as a baseline.

V4 TCO Costs: Base Mesh ($29.99) Morphs ++ ($29.99) Total Cost - ($59.98) Now you have access to literally thousands of characters.

Fast forward to genesis 3 (I'll use Bethany 7): G3F base mesh (Free) Head & Body morphs ($39.99) Bethany 7 ($44.95) Bethany 7 HD Morphs ($39.99) Total Cost: ($183.94) Congratulations, as a minimum, you spent an extra $44.95 to use literally 4 characters - Camille, Ginger, Barbarian & Succubus, and Sophia (at $17.20 average cost apiece) This breaks out to $28.44 per character - with another $10 each if you want to throw in the HD morphs. $28 to $38 per character, not mesh, but character. Now compare this to any other current figure. Getting value for the dollar?

You can do this for EVERY SINGLE FIGURE. As an exercise for anyone reading - now run this with the male figures - here is a hint: there are less than 60 male characters made during the life-cycle for the entire genesis 2 male and all of the sculpts. Poser's G2 male line of Simon, James, Koji & Kelvin had more characters made for them - and they were widely mocked for having "no content" during their life-cycle.

And one more thing...... Can ANYONE demonstrate the alleged "better bending" that genesis 3 brings to the table? I would like to see is 1 fully clothed genesis 2 figure and 1 genesis 3 figure in the same pose that can show HOW g3 is better than g2.
