I was looking forward to this model, because of the higher poly count and the improved joints. That's why I am so disappointed with what was released. In my opinion, it is very incomplete. Zygote has to realize that the default Poser4 Nude Female is the standard the new figure would be compared to. They inovated in a couple areas, but fell way short in others. Why? Not because it would be difficult, but because it would be less profitable. The problem is, by not doing the standard Morphs to match Poser 4, they will be loosing sales from a lot of people who otherwise would have bought the new figure. AND, they have sufficiently alienated me, as a consumer, so that they will have to work twice as hard in the future to convince me to buy anything from them. Some have questioned Victoria's looks, or lack there of, while others like that she looks less than perfect. It would be a moot point if you could customize her look the way you can with the default PF Fem. Instead of creating a product that would have appeal for the broadest range of customers, by including a good selection of morphs, they have created one that has much more limited appeal. The "reduced" initial price is just driving people to buy a figure they likely would not otherwise, in it's current state, just because it is going to be so much more expensive down the road. Many are buying purely on potential. It's a catch 22 for many here, buy it now while it's cheaper and almost useless, or wait and see what develops in the community to make her useful, and pay $100 at that point. In the short term, this strategy will work for Zygote. However, they are going to end up with a lot of very unhappy people on their hands as a result of all this. I know myself well enough that if I had shelled out $60 for her, and a month from now she still was useless to me, I'd be very angry and feel more than a little dumb. It's likely there are going to be some who, a month from now, are going to feel just that way over this. It's a shame. There was a need in the market that needed to be filled, and Zygote blew it...
