I know what you mean about feeling burnt out, I've found that doing something completly different for a few weeks sometimes helps in getting a new perspectiv on Poser. Push it and it just gets worse.
Anyways I would think the dork and posette would be going into retirement next year and I doubt the new figures will have the same joint setup and divided up in the same way if they are going to evolve. Hopefully the joint problem will be resolved in the next version of Poser making a lot more poses more viable.
