I have to say that as far as recent Poser figures go, I think Alyson and Ryan are by far the best Poser has put out. That said, I do think there can be improvements made. but here's the thing.
No one really buys Poser for the figures, and most likely most people will simply switch over to using one or more of the DAZ figures instead if for no other reason than they are more supported.

I'll be looking with interest to see what type of support both Alyson and the new Antonia figure by odf will be receiving. Only time will tell, but history doesn't look promising even if the figures do.

Do you think it would help if SM put a bit more money into developing a new figure, or maybe even licensing a current one like Antonia to be distributed with Poser?
