I think your casting things in the worst possible light, but that is generally par for the course around here.  If you take them at their word then there is content being worked on at release of the figures, so thats a big plus over anastasia's release. they are saying that it is up to the community to support that content.  If anastasia had significant content support at release it could have really kickstarted adoption of the figure and encouraged more support.  To say that SM arent doing something different this time seems pretty inaccurate, although I wasnt around for the release of the G2 characters.

Is snarlys subD thread getting more attention.. of course and it should.  Nobody ever told us new figures werent in the cards for poser, but the widely held belief was that subD was not anywhere in posers near future. I dont know why anyone wouldn't have expected that to gain more attention.  

I for one am willing to give this a chance.  There is a ton of value in Ryan (and alyson) and probably Miki (never used or owned her).  Putting a copy in everyone's runtime who owns poser creates an instant market for content creators to sell to, and I hope the ones that jumped on board do very well with it.

Hmmm. I think the community is tired of supporting soon to be forgotten figures. I see no difference with these two "morphs". The marketing has been, well just as sad as before, the excitement is missing. Most of all, the confidence that support for these will last is non existent due to past patterns. Where is the Buzz? The thread on Subdivision in Poser (Regarding getting G smooth in Poser) is generateing more views and responses than this thread and Tylers combined. There is your realistic indication of community interest. This pattern of figure release does not work SM. When are you going to learn....People are tired of being burnt. Content for GND Anastasia is rare. Not even 4 pages of content here at Rendo, hardly any vendors are on her, so please tell me what is going to make them change their mindset about these guys? SM is Destroying community trust by releasing all these unsupported figures. By the time they do actually release something long term, confidence in the SM brand will be to low to show it any support in the fear that it will die like the rest. They are playing a very dangerous game. I have seen this happen before. Those who are gamers know the history of Sega and their Game consoles. SM is making the exact same mistake. I just hope they change their strategy soon.
