Same for me (on PS5). There is no “Tyger Claw” tattoo anywhere in any of his menus. His inventory is completely empty.

There's a stand built-in (much like a regular monitor would have), you don't need anything else to get going. It's a sort of dual-leg at the back that flips out, so it can either stand upright, or you can lay it on a desk and let it rest on an angle. I use mine in around 80% upright position. The device also has holes at the back for a VESA mount, so you could attach it to an arm. Hope this helps!

I've been lucky to have both Cartoon Animator and Moho Pro 12.5, and was wondering which one I should dive into. Here's my take on either software:

Although there's feature overlap in principle, Cartoon Animator is meant to be used with store bought assets mainly, and to tell a story quickly. Its interface is very similar to iClone, and it supports some of its content too, so if you're familiar with 3D animation, Cartoon Animator is easy to pick up. Bringing in your own custom assets and getting them animated isn't quite as straightforward, but doable. It has support for external animations as well as lip syncing, you can even hook up a Rokoko suit and do motion capture directly into Cartoon Animator. However, it's strictly an animation tool, not a creation tool. You'll always need another app to create your drawings, and getting those custom assets working might be tricky. While it is a one-off purchase, you may spend a ton of cash on the RL store to buy assets, so factor that into your budget.

Moho on the other hand is a one-stop creation/animation tool. While it does have a library of sample assets, it really supports you from drawing/creating directly inside the app, all the way through to rigging and animation with a ton of cool tools. The learning curve in Moho is much higher (at least it was for me), but their manuals are great and there's an up-to-date course for Moho 14 on their YouTube channel you can watch. If you work with custom 2D assets that you want to animate, I'd say Moho is the way to go. Here's the tutorial series I mentioned:

One last note about version numbers: the latest version (Moho 14) is quite expensive, but earlier versions can be had for much less (13 Pro is under $100 on Amazon, while 12 Pro sometimes appears on Humble Bundle for $30, which is a steal). I'd say go for Pro rather than Debut. Give both trial versions for Moho and Cartoon Animator a spin and see which one clicks with your brain. And most importantly: HAVE FUN and enjoy the journey.
