Good Goddess, I have so many...
I feel that Gen3 had the best variation in released figures. Almost all felt new and different, not just almost the same body slapped with a new face. Some of my favorites:
Honey was the first I ever bought. Sexy, curvy, nice dark skin. A beautiful middle aged woman.
Aurelia has that NYC Italian look I love.
Karly is super cute, and I love her skin tones
Esther is a smoking hot latina, and the subject of the first series I ever made (never posted). Just wish she had anatomical assets.
Georgia, a girl with freckles? I freaking love freckles!
Kori is just a sensual beauty.
Gemma gives the best rocker girl vibes from the 80's and 90's.
Nancy's a robust, voluptuous woman.
Melisandra has great goth girl feelings.
Kennedy shows white girls can have a booty.
Tobias and Lukas are my go-to men. Lukas having a built in face scar is excellent for villians.
Rahele is a sun-drenched polynesian goddess.
Ana-Sofia, Sushmita, Cosmina, Eliya, Piper, Shaya, Summer, Natalie, Karen, Genevieve 7, Olympia 7, Kalea 7? Perfection.
Honorable mention to Pretty Base. I love when creators release the figures they use in their examples. Pretty3D is great at this, making them for each generation.
Should I move on to Gen8? Alisha, Alaska, Alondra, Bellucci, Celina 8, Sabah, Daniella, Binah, Desiree, Dezzi, Domino, Farah, Kirana, Elaheh, Krista, Kiara, Gia 8, Hadlee, Isla, Khemsit 8, Melani, Midori, Nuka, Paige, Phoebe, Rynne 8, Welda, Ulrike, Yoshie. All are superb.
However, I have to agree with Zeppelin. My absolutes are ones I make myself, combining and shaping. I have over 35 characters I've made and saved as custom presets. Yes, I use the materials from other characters (including that in their names to change things if need be), but my favorites still are my own and one of the reasons I tend to stick with series that include them.
I know my writings weren't helpful, but this prompt was fun! It makes me think about how often I use and reuse characters and how much I love them. Thanks!
