    Despite your success with making a male counterpart for Keiko (again, absolutely brilliant) I'm pretty sure you'll still buy a male version should he arrive. ;-)You can count on it! Though, we've yet to see much movement on a Hiro 6, so I won't be holding my breath for a male Keiko alternative. Males haven't been their best sellers historically, so they might see it as a bit of a gamble.

    Because by that argument, we shouldn't buy keiko because there's A3. If we're to buy the new generation figures as they come out, we have to have a complete toolbox with which to utlize them. Otherwise, we may as well use H3 and A3 and save money.

    Well, not really. A3 and H3 are fine and dandy, but they're heavily limited because of their rigging. These days they really do show their age. Genesis essentially gives us a new Aiko 3 but with all the technological enhancements of Genesis.

    That's not a slight on anyone who still uses A3 or H3. They're still great figures, with a wealth of support, but a toolbox should be flexible to encourage creativity rather than stifle it. No one is saying you must buy every figure that's released, but Genesis 2 already has plenty of tricks built in to allow you to freely swap between one gender and another. Not having a male counterpart shouldn't be a reason to skip a generation since it's very easy to close that gap these days.

    We're artists, being creative is at the core of what we do best!

    I guess that's my point. If A3 is too old, then so is H3. If H3 is just fine, so is A3. It can't be both.

    No one is suggesting we use H3 as is, only that we use just a portion of his face morph inside G2M
