Their answer:

Hi Neil,
You're welcome and thank you too.
We have no current updates for PP, but we do plan to have a more
advanced product for consumers ... one that will have more body attached
to the heaed/neck.

I replied to them asking for more information but got no reply.

Thanks for sharing this information, Nige.

Interesting formulation:

"one that will have more body attached to the heaed/neck"

I think it proves that Haptek is not trying to make their product more advanced. They keep thinking about full bodies as extensions of floating heads.

"more body attached"
Sounds like shoulders.
either shoulders or rag doll like Mary in Hal.

Neil, if you write again, ask about de-booting the fullbodies.
No, on second thought, don't. They might cut them off at the knees.

Thank you for sharing.

As i said, i did ask for more information but got no reply.
Maybe it should not have been leaked out.
Or maybe it was said to satisfy my question.
If it is so, one wonders how much extra we will get, will it be like a bust,ie,head neck a bit of body with no arms.
Since i was quoted around $2000 US to be able to make my own torso's,
It seems to me that if it happens we will either get the bust or it will be priced out of our league.
Second thoughts MAYBE BOTH [:(]
