Tell 100 kids at random they're getting "something special" next time Uncle Bob visits, you'll likely get 8 to 20 who convince themselves it's a pony, and feel devastated when it's "only" their own DVD player - which works better in a 3 room apartment anyway:-)) I like the Stephanie model. I like how it's both versatile & sideways-compatible with so much I already have. I read the comment in the DAZ email that it was a Character for mike, and wasn't really expecting more than a new morph and texture. I was actually pretty blown away when I learned it was Stephanie instead! I've a lot of positive threads & comments, and a few grumpy or disgruntled posts by some who let their own unrealistic expectations blind them to the huge value Stephanie represents. I've noticed something similar happen pretty much every time a major new character is introduced in the Poser Universe. And the P4 stock figures as well! With a membership of 50-70,000 members (not sure of the total, just now) The fact that a dozen or two folk expected something more in line with their own favorite projects, is hardly remarkable (especially with as vocal a group as this). In fact I'm surprised it's died down so much so soon. I posted a lineup of 20-odd existing Michael textures that could be used with little modification to demonstrate how Stephanie could be used with minimal investment "right-out-of-the-EXE", and a goofy comparison of the morphs that could be done by swapping out the OBJ's between Michael & Stephanie. As more folks take some time to actually check Stephanie out, the holdouts will come around.
