I agree modern figures are quite 'heavy' and it would be good to have a more lightweight version. Poser allows one to adapt the figures to specific needs:

- users who do mot like handles and ghost bones can easily take them out and when the resulting bending is not satisfactory add their own JCM's and magnets.

- likewise for face rigs

Poser does not complain when it receives pose information for bones that are not in the figure posed, so simplified figures remain completely compatible with the 'full' figure.  If there is a demand for simplified versions, he who makes one will have a proficient store product.

What matters for me is uv compatibility with figures for which there are a lot of skin textures available.
