I just think it would be a shame to see anyone profit from Anton's generosity.....
and there lays my point ;)
Yeah i can see the angle your coming from but we may as well have said "Shame to see anyone profit from Daz's generosity" (as in M3 and V3), yet those figures have helped a whole myriad of merchants earn money from them.
No one minds that V3 has a billion sets of clothes and so on, i dont expect everything that is/may yet be made for Apollo to be free. If someone wants to earn money from it fair play to 'em Anton has already given his blessing, if someone wants to make a freebie fair play also. Same game as with any other figure. Just if its free to begin with, peeps have more dollars to spend on extras. So for merchants willing to support it, they will do better.
If i have Apollo and hardly any outfits, i'd be looking to find them in the marketplace or free section. Just like any other figure except Apollo 7 stands to begin with more gear/extras as part of said free release than any other figure.
Okay i cant speak for anyone else but a free figure dosent mean i wouldnt pay to buy outfits and so on. Yeah sure I hope to see extra freebies (who wouldnt) but does that mean i wouldnt buy that spiffing good armour or that sleek business suit or punk hairstyle? Nope, in fact i'd have more cash to do so ;)
