This variation of what is a good figure has been done to death before. So lets flip the question and ask what new feature do you expect Poser to have that requires a new figure?

As a recap under Smith Micro Posers 8-11 had Ryan and Alyson, Ryan2 and Alyson2, Rex and Roxie, Paul and Pauline. Poser 8 had Capsule fall off joints. Poser 9 had Weight Maps. Poser 10 had subdivision and Poser 11 has control chips and scaling. I am sure there are a lot more things but these are the biggies when it come to figures. Myself not dealing with Ryan and Alyson much can't say much about them. Ryan2 and Alyson2 were judged by the community to be ugly. However BlackHearted provided that a good morph can change all that and Produced Anastasia and Tyler. And those two have a small amount of content for them. Rex and Roxie were made to show off subdivision and by the nature of that feature required a new mesh instead of reusing Ryan2 and Alyson2. Paul and Pauline had better scaling and the control chips and instead of making two new figures Rex and Roxie could have been updated to 2.0 and have had morphs made to transform Roxie into Pauline. And showed off the new features.

So given that La Femme appears to be a successful figure what about her needs to be changed? My money is on Poser putting in a easier way to change a figures UV maps. The code is in the program as you can go in and using Python change each Vertex's UV mapping just that it is slow to do, and you need to know what each Vertex does and where it is located. With this feature there is no need to create a brand new figure such as was the case of Anastasia and Roxie.

So that is the more relevant question What new feature is Poser going to come out with that Requires a new figure.
