I suppose Dorkette has her uses, for background "extras," but I've long thought that she looks too plastic and too much like a mannequin. She's not very realistic. Oh, I know! She would make a great mannequin in a department store scene. I guess with the right texture, both she and the P4Man can look pretty good. I was able to make P4Man look pretty human with the right texture, back before Michael was born. But I'm an avid Mike/Vicki/Stephanie user now and I never touch the default figures anymore. Melanie
