May I ask why a new figure? I know a lot of people don't like SM figures, but Paul and Pauline are merchant resources and can be used so why not? Currently Pauline has 14 characters for her and a small but nice wardrobe. Since everyone believes in the one figure rules concept why make another one with o support?

I don't believe in the 1 figure to rule them all concept.

Why a new figure?

Because if you look at what the vendors actually crank out, they all look like they are siblings. It is very, very easy to look at a promo and know who made the character, because they all look alike. My stories don't actually take place in the backwoods of the southern US, so I need more than 1 figure. I need a wide variety of ages and ethnicities - which is why I am using every single figure I have ever purchased and I simply add new features (weight mapping, subdivision, facial control surfaces, etc) to the legacy figures.

Pauline has at least 30 characters (that's how many I have in my Pauline runtime). I quite like her (and Paul). The only reason they (and Dawn and Dusk) haven't replaced the DAZ Gen 4 figures in my runtimes is because we lack a wide variety of ages and ethnicities for them.

AFA what I want in a figure:

Prefit support (for clothing conversions for the fitting room) - because we know the vendors are hell bent on ignoring all non DAZ figures.

Hair Control System Module (for hair) - because we know the vendors are hell bent on ignoring all non DAZ figures.

Texture Transformer support (for skins) - because we know the vendors are hell bent on ignoring all non DAZ figures.

A good selection of Morphs (for character development) - because we know the vendors are hell bent on ignoring all non DAZ figures.

Face Room support would be nice - I know most people don't use it (because they limit themselves to the DAZ figures), but I have found it quite useful.

Shoes - we need a wide variety of shoes - because we don't have a good shoe conversion program for any non DAZ figures.
