Okay.
One of the problems with props and figures is that they are not always cross compatible. You can occasionally fake it, but doing repeat sequences, such as for comics, it becomes a pain in the backside.
Clothing Converter (and similar software) allows for clothing to be converted from one model to another. I have had inconsistent results with this software. Sometimes it works perfectly. Other times it is an exercise in frustration. I am not sure that I would call it a must have utility. Wardrobe Wizard is a similar package, but I have not worked with it.
Morphs. A lot of clothing resources do not have built in morphs to fit them to custom characters. Morphing Clothes by Dimension3D. Of all the tools I use regularly, this is the one that gets called up the most. It is awesome and frees you from the frustration of not being able to cram your heroine into a particular outfit without things... um spilling out everywhere - he says as delicately as he can.

I have a pile of the Dimension 3D products and they are all highly recommended. (Their second skin tool is awesome to).
Also - be careful of pose and expression packs - a lot of them are badly constructed and will write over your morph channels. There are several utilities to clean pose files, but I have not found one that I love to death - though I am pretty pleased with cleanpose. This is not as big a problem in newer versions, as the pose saving mechanics are better; but still troublesome.
Finally there is limited feature version of Poser now available. I have used both and greatly prefer Poser. As a long time user - I can offer a discount (And get a bonus for doing so.) http://TipFrom.Me/t/?Uprplr
