Totally bitchin! I really want to get this now since I am terrible at CG and poses in general.

Potentially pretty cool. I see a lot of lazy stuff coming out of this, but I also see the possibility of build-it-yourself kits that let you build creatures and things to be used for easy peasy stop motion/3DCG fun (which is what I'd use it for).

Wow if they can keep this thing's price around the $200-300 range I'll have to seriously consider it. Not much of a CG motion kind of person, but this could definitely help with design projects like mecha costumes; useful especially to accurately peg down the freedom of movement on simple CG drafts or modifying some pre-existing models.
... Plus the thing is a neat looking figure on it's own. Just wondering if giving it something like Kamen Rider style eyes would mess with the sensor(s) in the head real bad. |

As a person who is very familiar with 3d CG - I am mild sceptical.
If it costs more than 200$ - It's not worth it. By the look of it: animating character movement would be a pain in "youknowwhere" Character animation with biped is already pretty easy. Anyway! I don't see it as some kind cutting edge tool, that every animator will use in the future. But! If it costs less than 100$ - i'll buy it, as a fun gadget - not some advanced animating tool. |

This is gonna be like when Flash first came out, and everybody thought they could do animation. Oh how we loved those early Flash animations!
