I recall (as a kid) seeing the belgian "girl" comic strips by dany.  tried to search for 'em, but no good results on google.  poser users as a demographic have deep pockets and will buy anything that is heavily promoted and appears in these website galleries.  the euro-american demographic is resistant to anime/hentai/manga style characters but will shell out for european-looking things AFAIK. so "miss thing" is targetted to the euro-american poser demographic.  my guess is that (as a group) they will shell out at least $400K for it (and related accessories) before the business cycle moves on to the next version.
