Quote - Although I agree that figure support is important - the quality of the figure is also very important.  Apollo could look like lots of different types of people but unfortunately he always looked a bit puffy and lacking in any subcutaneous definition.  Also his back was aweful and Anton said he checked the galleries and hardly anyone rendered from the back.  still you wouldn't want apollo as a main character in a comic if you couldn't sometimes render him from behind.  And I don't like puffy.

Love esther

 

Yep...I totally agree that figure quality is important too. That should go without saying. A crappy figure will be hard to support, and as such would not get much support and would die a natural death as well.

 

Unfortunatly having a quality well crafted figure may not always be enough either. Believe me...I look at pretty well every new figure released to see if it is something I would be interested in supporting.
I love playing with new innovations.

(and I also agree about apollo and the lack of back definition, and puffyness)
