Last time we got kids was in Poser (7), Ben 2 and Kate 2 - they weren't supported in any meaningful way.

None of the "stock" Poser characters have gotten much support. Well, since Posette, anyway. ;-)

Young white female supermodels that are 1.8 meters tall make up more than 95% (I have actually counted) of the Poser/DS Market, but less than 3% of world population. That is why SM sold the Miki series - they were a normal sized Asian woman. There is no ability to use just 1 figure in Poser due to the lack of diversity in ethnicity and age. It is the primary reason I never standardized on 1 figure. Well, that and the fact that most vendors characters look like they are very closely related (buy 3 and you have them all) That is by no means a Poser only thing - the same can be said of golum vendors.

I really liked the original Miki. Her face was quite expressive, and I think a big reason was that she was modeled as Asian from the beginning. V3/M3 was pretty bad with ethnic morphs. A lot of the expression morphs would "break" the ethnic morphs (teeth showing though the face, stuff like that). I liked the idea of the G2 figures - different figures for different ethnicities.

But I think that's less necessary now. Not that I'm against multiple base figures, but looking at what people have already done with LF, it looks like she can be something other than Caucasian.
