ok.. ive been tediously working on a project... in hopes to have a release ready by the time american football season starts...

first the details -

• the football pads consist of 5 separate parented props
• the pants will be PCF encoded.. requiring the catsuit
• the jersey is a conforming figure
• the helmet & pads & other accessories (not necesarrilly shown) are parented props
• major collisions occur (between the jersey and the pads) when you use more "extended / active" poses.. simple poses require minor adjustments to the pads in order to keep them under the jersey

now... where the questions start...

1 - is this a pain? i mean, it is a pain to set up completely, but once its set up, it works pretty well..
2 - is this acceptable for the more picky shoppers?
3 - considering the above & below facts - would you consider it a worthwhile item?

the facts...

a - the shoulder pads need to be separate props in order to get the poses to work (extreme - non-realistic poses are nearly impossible to get to look right)
b - the shoulder pads dont need to be on the character in order to use the jersey (its not seen :) - unless you use a see-through practice jersey your input in this matter is greatly appreciated... please keep in mind - the product is not quite done. :D
