//Poser figures are designed to show off the new technology in the Poser application; they aren't designed to do pin-up art (Although they certainly can do that). That is why we see the Poser figures in things like TV production, airline safety cards, and scanners at the local grocery store.//

I agree with you to some point, but nothing prevent them from supplying high quality characters with Poser for each release, and it would make sense since a huge amount of their users are hobbyist, last release they did add 2 characters, which had some new features and so on. But it makes little sense to show off new features on characters that are bugged and not even close to the same quality of figures already on the market. If I remember right one of the new features were the facial controls, but this as far as I know, have not been adopted or used in any other character, so these features seems to be stuck in Paul and Pauline, which is sad. Because had these characters been good quality people would have used them. So its good to add all these things within the program but if they ain't used, its of little use and these features are aimed towards the hobbyist and not those using Poser for fliers, tv adds etc. In my country whenever a Poser character turns up on TV its one of the very old one and its clear that these people are not in need of these features.

Your last comment about waiting for Project E, i think is shared by a lot of Poser users, but to me this would be a most welcome character for Poser, but it shouldn't or didn't have to be necessary, had Poser released with decent characters. Project E in my opinion should be something that people should look at as a very nice addition to a library already filled with good quality figures released with Poser.
