Will the expression products for Lahr and Niketa work interchangeably between the figures? 

I guess the question is can G9 male expressions work on G9 female? And vice versa?

I put Lahr in the scene and used JW The Lion and JW the Lioness poses back and forth to compare. What I noticed is the Lioness poses are less aggressive or broad on Lahr. So if I used Furious from his pack, his mouth is pulled back, teeth is fully bared, but with the Lioness version of Furious, the upper muzzle is slightly pulled up, the lower jaw dropped a little and the sides pulled back just a bit, and teeth clenched. The eyes move almost the same. But, the Lion moves look more menacing, while the Lionesses make me think of a mother who just found her kits messed up the floor after she cleaned it. In a bad way. Looks a bit wishy-washy on a guy.

The smiling ones, well, yeah, funny. 

I maybe reading my cultural norms into what I am seeing. I generally find male poses and expressions work better going from the male to the female in small bits, but not that great the other way too often, except for certain characters or situations.

Thank you so much! I purchased both packs and they do work interchangeable with subtle differences.
