Quote - Or, they could buy figures like Antonia. The figures would get better support than they would stand alone and SM would get better figures.

You know, I think the crowd here is so partisan that a SM buyout of Antonia would mean the kiss of death for her. If she was packaged with Poser there are a lot of people here who would do one default render of her face and say "Eeeww!" and cast her aside without a second glance (or a second chance).

I think it's great that she's truly independent and getting along on her own merit alone.
