You mean she's not the revolutionary next big thing, savior now that *** has ********* Poser etc.? Excuse me, I somehow got that impression. Now that I'm enlightened, let me modify my stance. No, if she's just another figure, just something to add to the mix, not the future of Poser figures yada, yada, then no, you don't need to market her, no need for comparisons. If the whole idea is not to generate interest and give reasons to use the figure (and ensure that she doesn't become a footnote like all the others mentioned) then don't bother with any of that. If the panic has died down and no one is worried about OMG what are we gonna do cuz V5 won't work in Poser then cool.

"But I really dont see why some people see it as such a bad thing to extol the things we like about this figure to people who havent had the chance or the motivation to see for themselves..." 

Seriously, you see suggestions, encouragement on better ways to present the figure to people as discouraging you from doing just that? You may not agree with the ideas, but that hardly inverts reality. I'm really not trying to be argumentative here, just not seeing the point. I would think that you'ld be eager to tout a whole slew of great things, not bridle at five. At any rate, I can see you folks want to be left alone so I'll move along. Good luck with your figure.

Honestly, I may have gotten the wrong impression or given too much weight to a minority view. At least one or two other folks seem to have gotten the same impression so maybe I won't be alone in my dank asylum cell. On the bright side, some good points did come out - I hadn't though about the memory issue for instance. For me, that's a big factor and I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't asked :-)
