The first issue with characters is price. A free figure will always beat the price of a for-sale character. Period. End of story. You will not sell a $19.99 figure when V3 and M3 are free. it is a mindless cult. you see Yes it is. How many items has DAZ released that have become the "item of the day": the house mouse, the emotiguy, etc. People see these, download them, and the next week, everyone and their brother makes images with them. Yet the week before, no one even asked for these things. How many times has DAZ released a model that is the same (or very similar) to an existing product... but theirs has less features and is more expensive? Yet which product do people buy? Yep- the DAZ one... usually because the name "DAZ" implies that the product will be excellent. If your goal is to sell things -- then give the people what they want This is a subject for a different thread. What do people want? If you go by the list of best-selling products, people obviously want V3 characters. If you go by the "wishlist", people want all kinds of items... but will those "wishers" actually purchase the item when you sell it? --John
