Hi ^^ I have explored 3dCommune and also Aleknest's own site, but even though I do find products for Margo in there, I don't see the model for sale anywhere. Can anyone who'd know,= (or who's have purchased her) tell me where to find her, pretty please with sugar on? :)

Why don't you e-mail him and ask? His e-mail addy is on his web page.

I picked up a Margo character for Vicky2 some time back at RunTime DNA free section. Dont know if it is the same one you are looking for. SWAMP

Looks to me like Aleknest makes his own figures. I think Margo is an original figure, not a character for a DAZ figure.
It's really odd. He's selling his other original figure, Nadya, at 3DCommune. And he's selling clothes for Margo. But he's not selling Margo. Perhaps she's been removed from the market for some reason.

Yes, AlekNest's figures are original meshes....not variations on DAZ models.
I have purchased AlekNest's Senya figure - his male model. I haven't purchased any of his female models.
I can recommend Senya, if you need a male figure. Senya provides an interesting variation on M3-esque types of figures. And the quality is very good.
As for Margo?....I don't care for her looks. But that's just my own taste.

I don't think Margo is supposed to be a beauty. Like Senya, she's supposed to be an "ordinary" person.

True.....but V3/S3 can be easily morphed to appear "ordinary" or "beautiful" on demand (too bad that it doesn't work that way in real life, eh?).
Whereas Margo will be Margo no matter what -- unless if some generous soul chooses to turn out some morph packages for her. Or if someone chooses to supply their own morphs.
Sounds like a lot of work to me. I'll just stick with V3/S3.
Senya was unique enough to get my attention.
Once again -- it's just personal taste. And it's usually a waste of time to argue about that.

I have purchased Nadya, as well as Senya from aleknest, Natalia and Dina V from dacort, and of course the gorgeous Elle from Neftis. The main disappointment for these characters is that there hasn't been much interest shown or development done by other Poser artists. In particular, I would have liked to have seen them re-UVMapped to one of the DAZ characters.... ...also would have been good to see a "slim" morph for Senya. I tried this in zBrush, without much success.

One thing about Alek's characters: they have something V3 and SP don't. They are "anatomically correct," as is Dina.
It is a pain that there's no clothing and stuff for these alternate figures. But with dynamic cloth, you can use V3 clothing on them.
