I've not used Poser for a long time, but with my recent purchase of the Poser 6 upgrade I'd like to get back into it again--but I want a new male figure to work with. I'm tired of Micheal 2 and the native Poser figures turn me off. I have some questions I hope you guys can help me with. I can either afford Apollo with his adds ons or the Freak and his add ons, but not both right now.

1. Is the Freak independent of Micheal 3? Can I just buy The Freak and have a fully functioning figure with morphs or do I have to buy the Micheal 3 body and head morphs. Micheal 3 leaves me cold.

2. Are there texture map templates available for Apollo if I want to try to make my own textures for him?

3. Using the new Clothing Wizard can I adapt Micheal 2 clothes to Apollo?

I'd like the support Anton's work because I really like what he does, but I've had some difficulty downloading things from Content Paradise. On the other hand I am not currently a Daz Platinum subscrber but would become one if I did purchase Freak. How do users compare the 2 figures? Who should I buy?
