"When we developed Victoria, we changed many of the facial expressions to what we felt were better not realizing that it would create some incombatability with Mimic." Well, at last we get an admission of something that I've been a little miffed about for a while. I suppose it wouldn't be out of line to point out that both Mike and Vicky have been advertised since Day One as being 'Mimic compatable.' I guess what you meant was 'sort of Mimic compatable.' "The current state of the Millennium figures offers reasonable compatibility." Okay, okay, we'll use your wording. So we'll say that Mike and Vicky are 'reasonably Mimic compatable.' "For the animations that we have done on non P4 figures, Mimic has literally saved us weeks of work." For what I use it for, Mimic is actually more valuable to me than Mike and Vicky. That's why I wish you guys paid more attention to it when constructing your figures. I'm hoping that will happen now that you own Mimic. "With that being said, we feel that there will be plenty of room for improvement in the future. Now we can address improvements from both directions." Good! "At this time we have no idea how long it will take to implement any new changes." Put it on the front burner. It's THAT important. "But in the meantime, it is still a very valuable product (even at the full price of $195). Also, remember, DAZ offers a 30 day Money back satifaction guarantee on our products. If it doesn't work for you then return it. I say this confidently because I don't feel that many people, if any, will feel any need to return it." Dan, fewer people will return it if you advertise honestly that it is only 'reasonably compatable' with your figures. And make a real effort to fix the problems with your figures. I'd like to get more use out of them and Mimic compatability is a must. Thanks for listening. I'm not usually this grouchy, but imagine my surprise the first time I ran the Millennium folks through Mimic and got jerky, robotic, stilted crap back -- thus making them a useless purchase. Been happily using the P4 folks since. jjsemp
