Phantom3D showed us all Brad and even released a Beta version but has now shelved Brad to work in Antonia's counterpart Tony instead. This has not really been remarked upon negatively but speaking for myself, I was a bit miffed to hear it. I never brought it up til just now though but I'd guess that other Brad fans were just as tiffed to hear he had been shelved after getting us all worked up about how nice he looked.
You have to keep in mind tony is a bit of a different project. The Idea behind the Antonio project is to help develope people weightmapping skills as it goes. As much as its a new figure it is equally a tutorial project on weightmapping from start to finish. I'm not sure of the details but I think that antonio was better suited to this purpose for whatever reasons.
I understand the reasoning behind the decision. I was just giving it as an example of what can happen when you reveal too early. You get people's enthusiasum up and they get let down. It wasn't a knock on Phantom3D's commitment to the community. This is kinda why I never mentioned how I felt before now. I knew someone would think I was finding fault.
