perhaps a look back into history woulld help. How did DAZ get so big and powerful? They burst throu with Victoria...but they did have an in, as they sprang from Zygote which made the first Poser folks. So they had an in and they exploited a hole in the entire thing. Perhaps they were near the forefront in the Poser aftermarket goods store... Posette wasn't such a great piece of eyecandy at the time with the plastic hair, and the plasticclothes...butr Vic was special...morphs and all that...so they got he upper hand with the new line of stuff for Poser. And we all followed along. Well maybe if the next guy that comes out with a figure can pull in a lot of support up front, with the right people, and markert the entire shebang the right way, just maybe they could pull it off. I would think if you started to see a lot of GREAT stuff for James, for instance, and you got the right people to do images witth the stuff, eventually people would start to take notice, and sales would increase. I think there is more interest in alternative figures right now than I have seen for quite some time. Now is the right time to take advantage of this...
