They've let their vendors have him, but the rest of the herd will have to pony up and pay. They did it to get lots of stuff available for him for sale in the first couple of weeks. V3 was underdressed for at least a month after she came out, and Daz seems to want to correct that problem. There will be textures, boots, clothing (both street and other), poses, etc. available for him the first day or so. Much more than V3 had. The only thing I haven't heard about was hair. ...and there are WAY too many responses I can come up with for "Stinky Winky" that would violate the TOS, and I'm VERY careful not to violate the TOS. You should all be ashamed for tempting me like that.
