Thinking aloud: The face is pretty. But it's a caucasian face, and there is no dark skin. She has enough morphs, and If I bought her, I would probably buy the add-on morph pack too. I could make an OK dark skin, but I would like a really good one. She is stylised, but realistic enough for me. I hate the feet (so much) but they are being fixed.
What does she offer that I can't already have with Antonia, Bella, the Alyson derivatives, the Victorias, Mikis, P6Jessi or the G2 ladies? Those are the figures I use a lot. I just don't see what she has that is significantly different. Despite being stylised, she has about 70000 polygons, so she doesn't have the low-poly advantage. The main promo image of her looks very similar in style and face type to Illusions Designs' V3 or V4 characters - soft face, luscious lips, wide eyes. I can already achieve that look, since I have many of their characters and I can get more really inexpensively. Weightmapped, so she bends well. I don't do extreme poses though. The body reminds me of Antonia - very average. No Wardrobe Wizard support yet. So I am waiting. I have been back to look at her several times.
And I now find myself also considering Little One, which I do not have, and Mankahoo's Angela 2. I don't really need any of them, but at least the other two are distinctive. There is also BVH's Angela, which is low-poly. I think what I am saying is she does not have the immediate appeal that would make me rush to buy her. And if I react like this, perhaps others will too, and the chances of the figure gaining lots of support would be slim. But I could be wrong.
