Back in time where V4-M4 came out, there was no competition.
V4-M4 where it, or you where stuck.

Back then 1.000 clients had only one product to choose from. V4-M4, and that was it.
They all had to buy the same thing.

And V4-M4 generated some nice income for the content builders.

---

These days, the same 1.000 clients have lots of options. Lots of figures to choose from.
And all being equal???? Each new figure will get 10% of the market at most.

Resulting in the content creators also "only" selling 10% if they build for that one particular figure.

---

And V4-M4 's days are not over yet.

THE figure that will put V4-M4 aside has not been born yet.
THAT figure really will have to be special, more then special.
And only the creators of that figure can make it popular enough for the content creators to kick in.

If the creator can not make his/her figure performant/popular enough to push V4-M4 of their thrones, V4-M4 will continue to be the most used figures and content creators will continue to build for the figures that bring the most money.

It is not enough to build the best figure and put it out on the market.
The creator HAS to start a marketing/hype to get his/her figures popular enough to get the momentum going.

I admire all efforts, I humbly kneel down for all figure creators. It is a damm tough job to build a new good figure.

But even the best efforts will need “a hype” to get off the ground.

You do not make/build 2.000 support items overnight to get your new creation attractive to users/content creators.

And it will take a lot more, to push V4-M4 aside.
