It looks a lot like daz`s sara to me...

Yeah, like the Sara head on a heavily morphed V3 body.

Can you post the link to that Kim Goossen's "The Girl" website? Alexa looks almost identical to her- but I can't find the thread or the images to compare the two.

if that's not Sara, I don't know who she is.

It's NOT Sara. In fact if we can get the link to the website that featured Kim Goossen's "The Girl", Alexa is a near dead-ringer for her! When I read that link several weeks ago it DID strike me that she would make a pretty hot babe if she was converted to Poser format. Seems like someone has done this, I think. They have also done a good job in getting her up and running fast with clothes, poses, etc. Seems like the Toon-Babe Wars are starting to heat up!

I dont think dark whisper would steal someone elses object to make the sara figure. It must just be a coincidence that they look so similar.

veritas, the link master!! long time no see! well, I just love those type of characters, so I'll look more into this, hopefully rendering sara right next to alexa to see how similar/different they are.

I think you'll notice a lot of differences ;) We have a wireframe render up in the ad images and I think you'll note that Alexa is very much a different character than Sara or "The Girl", Plus she comes packed with morphs and everything you need right out of the box.

I think The Girl definately is the mother of a lot of the toon-sih characters we're seeing now. Goossens was begged by many people to convert her to a Poser-ready format - they were practically throwing credit cards at him - but he wanted to keep the character for his own projects. He posted a lot of detailed shots of the model, though, which could be used as a template for someone else to create something similar. It still hurts to see shots of The Girl, because as good as the others are, Goossens really worked a special kind of magic with her that's just a notch above, and we can't have her! -Jeff

ooh wow, for a while there I thought that Alexa was the final product and that "the girl" was the working title... I didn't know they were 2 different characters... and that actually "the girl" is not even a Poser character... thanks for the info, guys!

She is great, I have Laroo and Sara, and Alexa....well, top notch job. Sharen

"But they're cousins, identical cousins ...." (Points to anyone who remembers the reference.)

In the picture above (Sara vs Alexa), I prefer Alexa's body from a stylistic point of view. Bigger hands, fuller thighs. I prefer Sara's face though. And yes, I agree that they do look similar.

Patty Duke Show? It's really a pity that they're SO alike. I think it will hurt Alexa's sales. She looks great, and in some ways better than Sara. But Sara is free and Alexa is like 30$ I'll probably get Alexa at some point, but... Well perhaps they can use each other's clothes? Just like real cousins G

Faces are different, though similar. I think Alexa has a better body. Both figures have a toonish figure (obviously!)but I think Alexa has a bit better detail in terms of musculature and somewhat nicer proportions. Of course, Sara is FREE!

Wasn't the "Mystery girl" supposed to be free as well, or is she yet another toon gal? I'm all for new poser toon characters, but we're getting swamped in toon gals, and my concern, is that clothing and prop developers will really be split to provide enough useful stuff for any of them. My list (please complete or add to it) Koshini (Daz) Neftoon Gal (Polymage) Trixie (Sixus) Sara (daz) Alexa (3d commune?) Mystery Girl Puppet (for koshini, but adds enough variety to almost be called a new gal) Am I missing anyone? How about more toon creatures/animals instead? LOL!! Toon animal wise I think there's toonimal cat Toonimal dog toonimal fish toon deer I'm starting to think we almost need a charcter registry, just so we can keep track of new characters, and lod ones that are being lost.

There's also LaRoo at RDNA, and a toon version of MayaDoll, I believe, right here at RMP.

Well I was/am a big fan of NefToon- but I can't stop playing with Sara - I had previously bought RDNA's LaRoo but I deleted her from mylibrary - didn't like her face or hips. I do like the angle of Alexa's eyes. Frankly I wouldn't think it will be all that long before Sara has morph packages as add-ons. And then there is that extra plus of Wyrmmasters morphs for Sara. sigh what to do what to do...

Oh yeah, forgot them! Koshini (Daz) Neftoon Gal (Polymage) Trixie (Sixus) Sara (daz) Alexa (3d commune?) Mystery Girl LaRoo at RDNA toon version of MayaDoll Hmmm that's what.. one every 2 weeks for the last 4 months?

LaRoo has a odd mouth, to me. I've never seen a nice "biggie smile" like Koshini and Neftoon Gal can produce. Trixie of the Sea looks like a better deal to me the plain Trixie from Sixus, but havn't gotten her yet... Puppet looks like an excellent deal for Koshini owners as well, plus I noticed she's cheaper now that she's at Daz...

I think Alexa is the Mystery Girl at 3DC.

I plan to get puppet for sure, especially as capsces has free morphs to get koshini's clothes to fit her. Besides Puppet gives koshini a wide range of comic looks. LaRoo was created with an open mouth and when you choose to close the mouth the jaw doesn't seem to move it just stretches the lips up. NefToon is great but I was very disappointed in the head morphs for her - I thought I was getting 70 morphs in the package and it simply brought the total to 70. :-/ Still love her though. I have not seen Trixie yet...

I got some head morphs for neftoon gal, but am just not sure how to release them. I have the wavefront exported objects, but how do you provide that without providing the mesh the parts are based on as well?

...But Sara is free and Alexa is like 30$. Are you sure? Alexa comes with Toon and Life textures, catsuit, sandals, short skirt, top, 20 poses and hair. These inlcuded items may be roughly compared to about half the stuff you will get if you buy Sara's Textures, Poses, Clothing Pak 1 and Action Pak. Those paks will cost you about $61. Cut that price in half for a fairer comparison and you get a total operating cost of approx $30. Does this sound remarkably similar to Alexa's price? - Jack

Whoa. Neftoon is HUGE! From my head transplant expirience I know that Anime Doll has the same height as V3. And V3 is TALL! But Neftton is even higher. Also.. I've always felt that LaRoo creeped me out. She does even more so without textures shiver I realise that Trixie is a different "non-cute" type of character. But it's not a character I'd spend money on. She's TOO "strange" to my taste :o) Yes of course you will have to calculate the price of Sara's clothing to do a fair comparison between the two figures. When I wrote it, I hadn't noticed that there were clothes too along with Alexa. That makes her a bargain really :o) Now I hope Rosity will hurry up with the payments so I have some money on my paypal. Then I'm off to 3DC :o)

A Victoria-based toon gal I particularly like but you rarely see is Doug Farrell's Maeve (http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?ViewSoftgood=8259 ) - Jack

I think Ichiro would have something to say, Toon Pal! Hands off the Koshini! :D

LaRoo scares me. I bought her. I deleted her five minutes after trying to morph her. Her mesh is IMPOSSIBLE to work with. She's got potential. I love her eye mesh, but that's about it. Plus, the file I got was damaged. Also, proportionwise, they're all about the same. Look at the feet. They're not all positioned on a level, flat plane. Neftoon Gal is actually about the same height as the AnimeDoll. Kaedeko kinda looks like a nicer version of Judy.

That's how they loaded into Poser, they were only x-tranned and their arms raised. It is interesting that they seem to have different default 'floors'.

btw thats alexa in the picture...lol

Don't forget Rendervision's Cherry Anime doll! And Veritas, thanks for the explanation about "The Girl." I am not much into toon pics myself, and was utterly baffled at the sudden flood of toon/anime girls.

And those pants are an Alexa Free item , available through the 3dc Newsletter and site, for a limited time :) I love the toons too , since koshini and working with Alexa and now sara and Neftoon I save my money for them, no more victoria:)

True.. I've battled Victoria to get more of a toonish look and now I don' HAVE to ;)

Be nice to have a lineup but with thier textures that are included. Some of those look butt ugly, but with their textures, are much better. A good example is Neftoon Gal. Out of the "box" she's got a very nice skin tone, and eye/face textures. Sara, OTOH, doesn't look so hot, unless you buy here some packs. (Course, once you have the texture pack, she's about the same base price as Neftoon Gal.
