Never thought I'd have to ask the question :) But.... I started with Posette, a long time after most of you. Then came a choice of a new figure - Victoria, or Dina. I picked the latter, BIG mistake, not being a modeller myself, as no support arrived in the way of clothing. So I waited a long while before backtracking and buying Vicky. No sooner was the ink on the cheque dry than V2 turned up. OK, decent upgrade path so no big shakes. Then Steph. Who was kinda fun, different look, not too expensive. Hold on though, she has a sister Aiko. And then Koshini happens. Then BIG investment in V3, even with PC privileges, especially since all the morphs, textures and everything else have to be bought individually. Then MayaDoll. And LaRoo. And now we have both Sara and 3DCs Alexa (oh, and probably Steph Petite). I guess that I've missed out on some in between too. I have to say that there are aspects of all these models that I like, but how is anyone expected to try and fork out for multiple paths AND work out which one is going to be the long term winner? (OK, the answer to that is obvious, but how much will be available for the others?) What does anyone else think here? Are we on the brink of losing it and descending into chaos, or is the establishment of a plethora of (partially) competing models opening up the artistic opportunities? If I was a merchant, would I be justified in developing a similar costume for multiple bodyforms and selling each variant instead of packaging them all together? (no chance of that, but I'm sure others will be wondering too) Interested in other opinions... Dogsbody (PS, If Dina had got a bunch more cloths, this could have been a different story....)
