I hadn't looked up Jessi or the other figures because they're not broken out at the main level and I hadn't thought of looking into the P5 and P6 categories because I thought they were mostly things like dynamic clothing and shaders. I just looked at Jessi's numbers and there's 7 pages of content, so that's about 210 products. Judy's got 3 pages, so her products will max out at 90. Glamorous and Eternal should be counted within the figures assuming they were categorized correctly.

I didn't look up every single figure because I did this solely to satisfy my curiosity about how far Aiko's support had grown. I'm one of those people that has to scratch the curiosity itch to get it over with. I have way too many friends that can argue for hours over points that neither one has anything better than an uninformed opinion to guide their discussions. I'd rather get the ground truth or at least some better measure than just a gut feeling that represents the whole source of the argument. Once I looked up Vickie and Aiko, I wanted to see how they compared against their comparable male figures and then I wanted to look up a few independent figures. It's by no means an authoritative study looking at the full Poser market. Any figure that didn't make the list was one that I didn't bother looking up.

I'd encourage anybody, as curious as me, to do similar searches and report the findings both for additional figures at RMP and for numbers at other sites. I have little doubt that V3 will have two to three times the content of any figure at any site. Aiko, or Victoria 1/2, will probably occupy the second position. The positions that I wouldn't put too much faith in would be ones that are close together like Apollo, Animedoll, Koshini, and Freak where the spread is 8 products. I wouldn't be too surprised if any of those characters have a different order of support at another site, but wouldn't expect any of them to have more support than for David as an example (except for maybe Koshini at RDNA since Lady LittleFox only sells her line there and I'm not even sure if RDNA carries any products for other toon figures like Animedoll).

Sales figures would be a better measure, but they're closely guarded by each store. I'd expect the Animedoll products to sell more than Apollo because most Apollo puchases will be at ContentParasise and RDNA which sell the base figure.

Keep a grain of salt handy with these figures.  They are what they are and I haven't fudged any numbers (though keep in mind that they are living figures that change as new products are added and old products are sometimes removed). Until somebody takes more than the hour I put into this, my quick numbers may represent the most "authoritative" measure of merchant figure support out there.

Even though the numbers representative only one market, they still tell an interesting story. Without seeing them together, would anybody have expected that the two Victoria figures have nearly twice the merchant support of all the other figures added together? Or that the default figures that come free in Poser only have a tenth the support of the DAZ figures? Or that Aiko had snuck into the number two spot? It's only one data source, but there's still information that can be gleaned from them.

Hopefully, somebody will be spurred to add more data.
