I have two males soon to be released for Michael, with all new hair, props, maps, a completely different face look, etc. Take heart, there is still Michael development afoot folks, and plenty of it in the right quarters! As to Stephanie, I am just so happy to see this character come along at long last. She is so much easier to work with than Vicki. There were things that could have been done better with Vicki, and WERE done better in Michael. Stephie inherits the good work in Michael as her heritage, and that is much needed for developers to get things to you faster, whether they be male or female :)
