I have nothing against 20-something white Barbies; I've certainly bought my share of them. But I truly do want more diversity, and I hope this doesn't get lost with Poser now tied to Rosity. Nonwhite characters (thank you for Anuli, Ohki), older characters, etc. I'd like to see middle-aged characters. The few morphs and textures offered for older characters are typically really old; it's hard to create a middle-aged character - say, an attractive man or woman who is 40, not 20 or 60.
This is the whole reason I am spending money on DS figures (and bringing them into Poser, as opposed to buying Poser characters) - in the Poser/DS universe over 90% of the figures are Caucasians, and almost all of them are of the early-20's variety (other races get the creepy Caucasianized effect)
When I started working on my ST:TOS series, the goal was to use ONLY Poser native figures. After a year, I had to move to adding Gen figures, not because I wanted them, but because I needed a wide variety of ages and races, and we no longer have that in the Poserverse.
