Quote - Okay, so tell me that makes sense -- to release products for a mesh that might not even be out till the beginning of November?
It is likely that the folks designing the DAZ-brokered content for M4 have an advance copy to work with. You remember they did this in the case of V4. It's partly just marketing hype, to get people excited to buy M4 when he's released, but also it's just smart business - DAZ make their money off of brokered content more than the character figures themselves, so it's very much to their advantage to work with their preferred content creators and provide them advanced copies in cases like this.
Now, would it be a good idea to BUY something like this so far in advance of the release of the figure? Hell no, but I bet any early releases like this sell like gangbusters just the same.
