What Figure Poses the Most Realistically?

What figures or add-ons should I use to get the most realistic, distortion-free poses. I'm doing ballet and figure skating poses, and V4 and M4 are giving me problems with weird looking bends. I need both a male and female figure.
Thanks!

Genesis or Genesis 2 Male and Female bend very well imho
Not sure if this will help for you special needs, but you may check "Perfect V4 Complete - Full Body Fix" on RENDO. There are similar products for M4 available, too.
There's also these for Genesis 2 Figures:

Using V4 and AeonSoul's (formerly AwfulSoul/AerySoul/AlfaSeed) free weightmapped V4?

@kerya
this is poser only
hmm its about 50 bucks
ALL currently available figures for Poser have bending or joint problems. Some have more than others. V4 and M4 are notorious for their bad bends. So it costs some money to fix them.
By far, the best bending figures currently available are, IMO, Genesis 2.
You can probably use M4 and V4 and save yourself some money if you learn how to use the morph brush to fix the bending problems. Some bends are very simple to fix. Others require a bit more work. But it can certainly be done. There are also free weight mapped version of V4 that will have done most of the work for you. M4, unfortunately, will have to be morphed by hand for the most part. There are very few fixes available for him.

Also a slight warning about this product. If you use any custom morphs, you may have issues with these products as it uses not only a good deal of v4's community channels but the private DAZ channels as well, which is poorly set up. When the author put this product together the vendor PM'd me about set up for both apps and I had had advised about using ExP technology to get around this and allowed extra channels to be added that works in both Poser and DS, and even offered to set it up for him for no charge. The vendor declined and so the product is set up poorly and from time to time you'll hear of issues of the product channels getting overwriting or that product overwriting custom channels of other products.
A better put together product is zev's bending product for V4 also available on rendo which does use ExP tech and does allow you to use custom morphs with the product, even enhancing the Perfect V4 morphs because of the custom channel set up.
Smays Stalker Girl for G1 works quite well.
It has dozens of JCM corrections, and must have taken a ridiculous amount of time to put together.
