Problem with this is Penguinisto did not test these products or even purchase them. Saying that a product is inferior without knowing the intent when the product was created, and not having purchased it (at least in my case) is not only unfair, but also in very poor taste.

Yes, one of my products was one that was linked to and I take great offense because this product was totally misrepresented. This is not the usual type of product I create, these sets were requests and we done for a very good and loyal customer.

If you were talking about products that had seams, did not work properly, miscoded files, wrong version errors, had holes in the mesh and on and on, that the merchant refused to fix, or misrepresented the product in the previews, then I could see the gripe. I feel though it is in very bad taste to criticize anyone in a public forum, and felt so when I first saw your post at 3DC.

You seem to feel that people just slap things together and put a price tag on them and upload them to make money. I work with these merchants/vendors every day and I can tell you "most" put their heart and soul into each product they do. The ones that do not are the exception rather than the rule.

Rather than your picking products that happen to not meet your personal tastes, maybe you should try and get feedback from others about products that are TRULY a problem and get verification from more than one source before you openly bash a merchant. It is laughable to slam someone for doing something (even if it is not to your liking) that you do not have the courage to do yourself!

As long as my product stays in your links, I plan on taking full advantage of it... and I do have to say shame on your for trying to acheive your glory by bashing others rather than working to create something that will make you shine for your own creativity!

Touchy merchant, yea...lol... probably, but I work darn hard, 18 + hours a day. I devote every day to the 3d communiity, I would request you take a look at all of the products in my store, and you will see that this set is not what I normally create, but had a purpose.

I will not defend what I do, or what I choose to create because everything I do I give my all, and I am VERY good at what I do! I do defend my right to do it though. There is nothing technically wrong with that set. All textures are high resolution. They are designed to look painted, "toonish". All meshes are created crooked and with a juvenile feel due to the nature of the set. I truly feel you misjudged it and that is what I take offense at...
