I'm doing an article which frequently references figures by their age (the point being, there's still a lot of life left in old figures, even the old P4 "Dork"). But I'm having a lot of trouble finding release years for all the various figures and major characters. Is anyone aware of a single site that lists them all, PARTICUARLY MICHAEL. There is a Wikipedia page that lists Victoria, which is all nice and good, but if there's one about Michael, I can't find it.
All help greatly appreciated!

If I remember correctly... "Pozette" and "Dork" where the characters that came with Poser 4. If you find the Poser 4 release date, they are one in the same.
Are you looking for just the base figures, or the primary characters released for them?
btw/ just an FYI. The Genesis, Genesis 2, Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 Female release dayes are the same as their corresponding Victoria (5, 6, 7, and 8)
If I dig through my old emails I can get you release dates. The last time I deleted Daz3d emails was back in 2012...
This thread might be a good starting place: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/24257/daz-3d-human-figures-a-history/p1
Going through my emails. Will update this post as I dig through my 1500 Daz3D emails. lol

The Documentation Center has the Released Date: field for products with the release date.
This one is Victoria 7:
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/21750/start
If you know the SKU of the product just switch it for the one above (21750) and you will land on their Doku page. Some products don't have a Doku page.
Thanks! I thought it might be documented somewhere on the site, but wasn't sure where.
Hmmm. I found this, but no corresponding data for Victoria 1:
Fortunately, Victoria has a Wikipedia page, so I can look up release years (which is really the main info I want).
Thanks again, and if anyone finds a single resource listing everything, that would be great.
