Also wondering about Puck... He sounds like someone I should know! (I mean buy.) ;-) Kimberly

Definitely gets my vote for most convincing Ent. Now if my husband would just leave the room for a few minutes so that I can buy him.... ;-) Kimberly

Oh, Steve, it's wonderful!! Thank you so much! Kimberly

"Actually I can't remember when I last bought some clothes for myself." That's me too!! My justification is that Victoria/Stephanie (even KOSHINI!) look better in clothes than I do anyway. ;-) Kimberly

I insisted on having a "My Little Pony" as my Christmas present this year. Worse yet, since I could not find the pony I wanted here in Germany, I had it shipped from Canada. AND at the last minute I decided that just a plain pony would not be as good as the birthday party set. With a second pony to share the cake. I will have to hide all of this from my husband. He thinks I am a grown-up.

When I saw the peg leg, I fell out of my chair. No word of a lie. And that advertising copy..."Dead dogs chase no tails" ?!!! This was definitely the find of the season for me. Thanks, Joe! Kimberly

Joe, you are killing me! I thought I had never seen anything to rival the Pirate Pup, and then you come along with this. ;-) Simply deadly -- love it!! Kimberly

Lady Littlefox, you have been burning the candle at both ends for the past weeks. Thanks for all of the magical models, and please enjoy your long winters' nap...and your holidays too :-) hugs and many thanks for all the joy your creations bring Kimberly

Oh no...pdxjims, you sound like me. At least you wonder BEFORE you make the purchase. Unlike someone else I could name.... ;-) Kimberly

This looks lovely, Friederike! I love your signature purple trimming on the first set. It lets us know this is indeed a "Made by .Maus" original. ;-) Kimberly

Not only is it at PoserPros now...it has a whole arsenal of accessories. The Pirate Pack by Netherworks almost made me fall out of my chair. That peg leg is to die for! Needless to say, a whole lot of dogginess found its way into my shopping cart in a hurry. I'm really looking forward to playing with this one ;-) Kimberly

I love Anime Doll...and all of your wonderful hair too :-) You have given this community so many beautiful things. Thank you for this gift! I wish you a happy holiday and every good thing for next year! Kimberly

I bet it was the Silverleif Studios dog. That is supposed to be coming very shortly. (I for one am waiting anxiously.) ;-)

"What everyone is seeing is desperation over what no broker wants to either believe or talk about...the Poser well is amost dry. They are just desperate for products to sell. Constant sales is never the sign of a thriving market." Anton, thanks for everything you have written here. I agree with it all. This little bit that I have quoted above really stood out for me. I wonder if anyone else has noticed it? I've been using Poser now for nearly four years. I have spent ridiculous amounts of money on what is only a hobby for me. And now...in all truthfulness...the joy of it has worn off. I have indeed seen most everything before. In fact I have bought it in most cases. ;-) I still buy...a little here and a little there. More and more, I create my pictures with half-remembered treasures buried in my runtime folder...or stuff downloaded two years ago and never used. It's kind of like Anton's search for antique Christmas ornaments; my poking and peeking through folders and back-up disks often yields up a gem. The future of Poser merchandise, in my very humble opinion, would have to be with new Poser (or maybe DAZ Studio?)users. Those of us who have been around awhile probably have started to grow a little jaded. We already have twelve sets of armour, in other words. ;-) Does anyone else agree? I seriously wonder. Kimberly
