Important Note: This listing is for an older product line. CATWA has a newer line out called HDPRO. This older line may no longer be updated and third party support for it has slowed. To check out info on the HDPRO heads peek at my listing for CATWA HDPRO Majersoft.
This is an overview of the CATWA Lona mesh head for Second Life avatars. Almost all the information also applies to the other CATWA bento mesh heads, however the photos are only of Lona, and the list is what comes with Lona. Other heads may have slightly different content. As always I strongly encourage you to demo before making any final purchases. To browse other mesh heads, bodies, and more check out The Mesh Directory.
