everything i've ever heard from people who actually have access to numbers put the poser community/market at a few thousand at most.   it comes up everytime people mention diverse figures or characters, and people say there's not enough of a market to support sub-markets.  but i'd love to hear from renderosity, daz and others on the matter. 

and i've seen it happen multiple times.  put whatever reason you want on it, i've watched tons and tons of people demand something, get it, then see nothing but negative posts about it in a month or two.  most of those people who deluged the galleries with girl pics no longer do so, nor defend her when she is criticized.  even though i saw multiple threads going gaga over girl before she came out, going gaga over sara and over alexa, and really losing it over girl's release, i've seen not one thread anticipating girl 2.   and i've seen many, many threads recently criticizing her and not one praising her.  speaking of the community as a whole, it's an about face.

as far as i know, they changed sara upon girl's release, but girl had 0 noticeable differences from goossen's original renders.  including her hair.
