We have never had a need to put the age on a character because:
What it says in the store promo text has no bearing whatsoever on the subjective judments of the gallery admins.
The admin are going to "age" the doll by their own personal criteria, i.e., it is completely subjective to the viewers who decide these things. For example, Karen's cute little avatar picture here looks to me to be about 12 or 14, but then she isn't naked either. ;o)
There are many characters in the marketplace displayed nude (not ours), especially Aiko3 characters and some Miki's, that have very young faces; large breasts, bald pubes, or lack thereof notwithstanding. The Marketplace has said that Aiko is an adult figure and seems to understand the concept of anime. However, these same images would NEVER pass in the galleries because the galleries are still judged subjectively. I will certainly not point out which images or products because there are already plenty enough people to do that. Also I am not making judgements, only stating facts. I utterly and completely respect Renderosity's right to make their own decisions on these things.
I suggest simply making another version that has the nipples covered. Then you would have "Nipple Covered Vickie in a Temple with a Sword", but at least it would probably be okay to post in the galleries here. Alternately, please feel free to post tasteful, non-sexual nude images at http://www.faeriewylde.com of any of ours, or any other characters.
Lastly, thank you very much, Drifterlee, for your purchase, and please understand we have no voice in these matters, even if we included their drivers licenses. ;o) Your image is welcomed at FaerieWylde, and with over 8,000 members would probably get more "first page" exposure anyway. ;o)
