Talk:Figures

There's a few issues with the character list. "Koshini & Friends" shouldn't be included in "Characters Included with Poser". Yes, Koshini2 and Ichiro2 are included with Poser, but Kyle, Krystal and Kiki are not. In fact, I'm starting to think they all should have their own pages. They have little in common other than the fact LittleFox made them and some of them can share textures. The same goes for the list for Akatora's characters. Maybe a separate section for "toon" characters? Also, the list doesn't include some of the other eFrontier/SmithMicro characters that doesn't come with Poser like JessiG2, Olivia, JamesG2, KojiG2, and Kevin. (There was a "Koji" as well, the matching male figure for the original Miki.) And things get a bit more complected with the G2 characters. The males JamesG2, KojiG2, Kevin and Symon all have the same body shape and rigging, thus they can wear the same clothing, and are mostly morph compatible too. The females JessiG2, Olivia and Sydney are similarly compatible. The only real difference is that they all have incompatible UV maps. Otherwise, they share so much in common that it would make sense to combine them into "G2 Female" and "G2 Male" pages. Maybe the section could be renamed to something more appropriate, like "eFrontier, SmithMicro & Poser Characters"? This would then include all versions of Miki and Terai Yuki as well.

As far as I can tell, Kate and Kate2 are basically the same figure. The same goes for Ben and Ben2. The even share the same messed up finger JPs! The only real difference is that version 2 came with different textures, but no body morphs. Loading the old Kate morphs and textures on Kate2 would basically give you Kate. (Personally, I prefer the old textures anyway.)

Confused yet? Let me know if you need any further assistance in sorting these out.
