Cimerone, You certainly can make new characters from the P4 woman (Posette) and the P4 man (Dork). Many people have (and still are) making characters for them every bit as good as any made for Victoria or Michael. Some people prefer to use the newer models because of the higher polygon count. In many ways this allows more versitility. As for why so many characters... well many different people with many different tastes, I guess. Everyone wants to populate their poser world with a variety. mike
