The 'creepy' comments were rather tongue-ib-cheek, because I think it's fantastic that interested parties can now bring objects out of the virtual world and into their homes. Where just a few years back the thought probably seemed like something out of a Star Trek episode, companies like yours have leapt on a curious cross-section of techonology and pop. culture. I hope you run with it. Smoother would be grand, but thanks for the price differential explanation; $500 a piece would be a hard price point to sell. Thanks for stopping by Mike!

I would note that in real-life that there are going to be few times when anyone would actually be staring eye to eye with one of the avatars (unless they were one of those creepy "make out with your avatar" people). In any case, I appreciate the feedback about how the avatars look. We are working on making the smoother, etc. however it's a delicate balancing act as they are being made to 1/12th scale based off of the original meshes from SecondLife (which were never intended to be seen anywhere but on a computer monitor). We could make them smooth as butter, but they'd cost $500 a piece with the additional 3d work that would need to go into them.
