I am wondering, which might be the better one... Daz has Muscular mike, then there is massive Mike, by Wrymmaster, and Boris in the marketplace... Which one is the most flexible? meaning, can take poses without looking like he is totally broken.. :) Thanks Darrin

While I do not have Massive Mike nor Musclebound Mike, I must admit that they do look like great products, just can't comment since I haven't used them, but I have Boris and must say he is fantastic. And the huge collection of faces and morphs included is overwhelming, all with MAT Pose files to keep it simple and easy. He poses and animates perfectly, and brings morphs and MAT Poses for the Bodysuit from mike's Clothing Pack 2 giving you a few more options right out of the box. I highly recommend him.

Hehehhe Sorry don't forget about My bodybuilder :) Can't resist to put a comment about this issue. I don't have Massive Mike or Boris or MuscleBound, but I heard some complains about some forgotten areas in Massive Mike and other product, as the back muscles and buttock area. You can take a look on my body builder at the Store, he has only Body Morph Targets, No Facial ones, but it can be used with genitals or without genitals and don't has a flatt buttock :) darnhorn or Xurge, If you already buy any of the other muscular Mike products I will be more than glad to send you for free the body builder to let you writte a fair comparative between them. With competition the last consumer is always who wins, and I guess it could be a good Idea to let other consumers to judge the products. If you are interested to make a comparative about these products please let me know it. Best Regardings Virus p.s.The attached link will let you see my product at the store.

Ahh Sorry I forgot. The picture renders of My Body builder was made with Poser without any texture map, they show as they look. :)

Virus, that looks great! sorry I didnt mention yours... I would love to compare the two... I have Massive mike already, and it is a nice figure, but has some problems with the arms in certain poses... and that just might be the problem with having an overly muscled figure anyways... just hard to get them posed without having the arms merge into the body... or in the case of this pic (extreme nudity!) http://www.thralldom.org/siteware/galview.mv?Member_Kinky_Art+8AjHYWUlA+1005573240 you can see the underarm area needs a bit more work..

I only have Massive Mike and Muscle Mike, and I have to say, so far, Muscle Mike is a great product. Several face morphs and the body morphs so far are great. I hate to say that only because wyrmmaster does great work(and I really look up to him). I really like Muscle Mike though.

I can't say what's "better", but I had the same question! I'm still conflicted because M2 isn't out yet, but from the pic to promote the textures he's got seriously improved muscles so what to do! Wish I had more money so I could get them all. In any event, check out a pic by SergentJack in the gallery (see link) for a comparision shot. It at least gives you a side by side look to get an idea of what each offers (except he doesn't have Virus' version).
