I'm trying to figure out which one of the free figures I want, and I'm REALLY torn. I don't have many of the official figures, but I've narrowed it down to nine of the ones that I want the most. I'm putting it to you guys though, which one of these figures do you consider the best? Which one would you get?

http://www.daz3d.com/giselle-6
http://www.daz3d.com/stephanie-6

Ahhh Please help me figure out which one to get! :D
Edit - Since I have Aiko 7 and also Star 2.0 perhaps I should pass on Aiko 6 or Keiko 6 for now. I went ahead and scratched them off the list.

I would go with Ninive, Monique or Aiko. Depends on what you need in your gene pool. If you have Aiko 4 5 or 7 you can narrow it down to Ninive and Monique. If you have other characters that work for elves, or fantasy then I would go with Monique. who is a really good versatile character with lots of add on characters to add later (they all have add ons, but Monique has lovely skin and most of her add ons do as well)
You are more likely to run into add-on characters which require the Michael 6 UV set than any of the others. By the time most of the others came out a lot of the PAs had opted out of tieing their character sets to the UVs of the DAZ base characters. But a few were built requiring M6.
As for anything else, Monique, Darius and Stephanie are all real world, Giselle -- and almost to some extent -- Ninive are stylized/fae, Aiko and Keiko are varying styles of Anime. Aiko more game-worthy, and Keiko more old school.
Not easy, but I think I might go for Stephanie. It would mainly dpened on oyur general prefreence of render 'targets'. If not Stephanie, I'd likely opt for Michael.
Thank you for the feedback! I do have Aiko 7. :) So maybe Ninive or Monique? Hmmm
Giselle 6 or Ninive 6 without a doubt. Giselle 6 looks Roaring 20s & Ninive looks 40s and 50s to me.
Hmmm SO many choices! They all look really good too!
Since I have Aiko 7 and also Star 2.0 perhaps I should pass on Aiko 6 or Keiko 6.
Do you guys have a preference for the texture? Like who do you think has the best/most realistic skin texture?
Michael 6. I can't see buying any other since his morphs are used for quite a few gen 6 males..
That's a good point!
I wonder why Vicky isn't on the list. I think I would snatch her up since I know a lot of gen 6 females depend on her morphs too. :)
Well the thing to remember is next time Carrara Pro goes on sale it comes bundled with Michael 6 Pro & Vicky 6 Pro Bundles and a bunch of other stuff. I think I bought my Cararra Pro Bundle for less than $15.
They must have changed it. I'm only seeing Vicky and Michael 5, not 6: http://www.daz3d.com/carrara-8-5-pro
Oh, I'm sorry! They must of changed it alright, I just checked and I have Michael 6 & but not Vicky 6 so since I didn't buy Michael 6 that must of come in some other 'buy new product' I bought that gave Michael 6 away for free.
Didn't mean to confuse you.
No problem. I appreciate you trying to help. :)
Of that bunch My personal favorites are Olympia and Ninive, Both are some of my favorite textures and morphs
A definite reason to buy Michael 6 is that his morphs are a requirement for more figures than probably all the rest put together
I'm not sure which one but I'd definitely say don't get Steph 6 or Giselle 6. Steph I was really never a fan of the color of steph 6s textures and, honestly, morph wise I think mei lin's body shape is closer to the steph "petite" ideal we got back with steph 3 and 4, so I wasn't a fan of that either (Ninive body works better for petite too Imo though the face is a bit stylized). Giselle I just think got supplanted by Ninive, they serve similar spaces (pale semi-stylized fae-ish) but Ninive was made later and the textures work better in Iray also I like the morph style better (though that's more personal preference)
Also, I'm probably an odd one out here, but I was never as much a fan of Darius and Moniques skins, Much like Giselle, they have a good bit of baked in specular and such that can look off especially in Iray
I have all of them accept for Darius & Moniques 6 and if you don't have michael-6 that is the one I would get , for ther same reason j cade mentioned
I love Ninive because there is definitely a Cate Blanchett vibe done with her.. I get the saturdier women a bit confused so Olympia was rarely used by me.
I would say Ninive as well. She is one I have quite enjoyed using.
Ninive 6 is the one I want.
Olympia. Ninive is a close second.
Michael 6 is often a requirement for other male characters (not always, though). Monique and Darius are solid choices, too.
...Ninive would be my next choice as well, whenever the base figures go on sale again.
Ninive; very versatile, and so pale is good for altering.
Raiya told me earlier this year that she thought Darius 6 was the best Daz character EVER. It is very difficult to do a bad render using his skin. I personally love Stephanie 6 for her olive skin. But if you don't have Michael 6, his masculinity is a nice option to his Genesis 3 namesake.
