Quote - I don't think its necessarily prudence on DAZ part. The children have just never been very popular. That was true for the Poser boy and girl pre-DAZ as well. Who knows, having them in the 'mix' with Genesis might actually make them more popular for making Hobbits etc.

All true - though the prudence could just be DAZ avoiding spending money (time) that they won't recoup, if previous generations of kids are indicative of future sales.

And there, I think, you may have put your finger on something. I don't have the sales stats - I haven't made any clothing for a store for a start! - but I definately get the feeling that Genesis' cross-dressing tendencies have made an impact on how well "male stuff" does. Male clothing transfers better to the ladies than the other way around, for the main part, so having male clothing work well and comparatively easily on the females seems like it making male clothing would be less of a risk than is was for previous generations. The same - within limits - should hold true for kids. There's nothing to stop us using some "hip" top and pants designed for teens on an ageing 50-year-old with severe hair loss and a frank misunderstanding of what it takes to look "cool" :D

I'd certainly be interested to see what kind of child imagery the community could come up with.

Cheers,
