I like it. It's eye-catching, and is very inviting. The use of the pictures of real people versus just being pictures of the anime-style characters is a nice touch, and gives more of a vibe of what the site is about.

"Very nice. How much?"

I like the cluttered pictures but they might be just a little bit too close.

[Red_Hope]

A lot of newcomers are gonna want some of those items on the front page, but because they're MCs, it's gonna be difficult... how about avatars that have more of the items from the stores?

[eezeeteezee]

I like this one because that's exactly how I think of my avi: mini me!!

[penny_1]

i like this one! this is user friendly and i think lots of people who come on here look for expression a lot so good job!

[dj Gg-unit]

its okay

[Jynk]

This is good.. it points out a lot about the site, but the avatars aren't the most important thing and shouldn't be the most important thing. Random photos of people.. eh.. I'm not feeling that. For the love of Mike, lose the tacky counter that clashes with all the layouts. Give more info that this site is a community.. not a paper doll site or pet site.

This one is cuteness. 3nodding

[Kitsune Minamino]

I like this one, has both gaia avatars and real people, boy and girl. But what I would like to point out that other people have pointed out. Just because the target audience is teens, you should have one or 2 people of the older audience there. It shows that yes, there are older people on the site, so when people talk to them, they should be aware that just because they are older they aren't here to meet up with you and hurt you. They are regular gaians.

also, the avatar arena should just be called arena.

It's quite alright! mrgreen but what's with the "X" on one picture on there?!?

[TwilitWings]

I really like the concept behind him. Nice job.

[xX_Randall_Flagg_Xx]

Crap.

[XX-Emma Uchiha-XX]

This layout is just like the other one. Like the other, this also has flaws. I don't think the kids should be on it, as the old photograph style (the white around the photos...Most cameras don't do that anymore...) is too....cliché. I think there should be a anime style person, a really real looking one, and then what their avatar would look like (it would look like them).
Also, I don't think it should link to the arenas, or to your profile. It should flaunt the features of Gaia, not show how to flaunt yourself! I mean, people who haven't even made an account yet see it, and so they might not want to go very far to see what Gaia has to offer.
It has a few bugs...

Now, this feels like something I would expect to see on Gaia. Furthermore, the direct link approach between the personal and with Gaia (via the "Mini You" slogan) is definitely a sheer sign of Gaia's marketing efforts, but I feel that Gaia has done this before and that to continue on this trend, although effective, is clear sign that Gaia's marketable potential has hit its max/end. Meh...
