CP is owned by SM, so in a roundabout way, a CP figure is a SM figure. That just semantics.

Actually many people like the SM figures, like Miki, Sydney, the G2 males and Nearme.

And they DO still have specific vendors like Sixus, very similar to Daz having PAs, so I'm guessing this is just duplicating Daz's marketing model..

And I do now recall some other debate about being a CP vendor, but then getting buried in a deluge of Rendo and RDNA products, though I don't recall who was talking about it or where.

Mighta been an old thread here somewhere.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
