Xeno and wolf, the poser world didn't need another male figure based on the unimesh. There was a chance after the negative reaction to M3 for 3rd parties to jump into the market and produce a competitive figure. While most buyers may not want more than one male figure, they certainly want one which is put together well. Personally, I won't render M3 without a shirt. The Freak to me is too unrealistic. David came across as being simply derivative of M3. Maximus created a lot of buzz and then was never released, partly because it was thought David might steal his thunder. I haven't seen any renders of Senya. So I won't say the male market is dead, but I think it doesn't move at the same pace and buyers are pickier. Sixus1, in my opinion, has greatly sparked interest in the male market not by selling male figures, but by giving them away free. Behemoth, Adam and HIM may not have the morphs of the higher end figures, but they are interesting characters and I think products such as real skin shader will better give them the effect of realism. I am trying to use Adam as much as I do M3 now. In addition, I think Les and Rebekah do a great job in gauging imput from the poser community for their character creation :)
