Yeah... you definitely should look at partnering up! With some good professional grade peripheral makers... so you can launch with some good bundles; i.e. the "Lucas Complete" bundle... and so on ;-)

The more a user can do with your figure out of the box, the better... the more folk will buy it.

The more folk buy it, the more vendors will be interested in making more content... and the more that your out of the box content includes, in terms of some generic, morph-able, mat-able conforming clothing, the easier it will be for more vendors to respond on that front...

...of course a load of really sexy looking promos will help a lot I imagine ;-)
