After playing around with Jessi for a while, I don't think she'll replace V3 or Steph petitie anytime soon. Why? Aforementioned rigging issues (old style rigging), joint issues (go ahead, and play with her toe bending... especially the big toe), and the fact that the base V3 and M3 are free, and have a wealth of support already. I think if CL was wise, they WOULD make Jessi and James free (or VERY cheap) figures in Content Paradise, and that might at least spark more interest. I'm sure RDNA came out with support for the figures because they are a Content Paradise partner, and I'm sure CL urged them to do supporting products for them. (And RDNA would have been stupid not to, since they literally are the only game in town for add ons for them right now.) I think if the characters were regrouped and rerigged with V3 type joints, that they might have a good chance of making a good sized dent in the V3 M3 market, but that is a massive amount of work, and existing products do not have the same grouping, so they could possibly become broken. At the end of the day, Give me Furette2 over Jessi... ;)
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
