Quote - Any non Daz figure is a dead figure. That is the reality. Nobody can support and market a figure like they can to guarentee a hint of success on a large scale. SM had an opportunity here, but same old same old. Didn't really expect any different regardless how great the figure was. Also these figures are only for Poser9 and up. Majority of the Poser users are still on older versions. So the market for these figures are even smaller.

Most vendors wont risk it knowing only a small profit can be made.

Yup. It's a great shame SM didn't get plenty of supporting clothing, characters etc. together ready to launch with the new figures. I know there were a few things, but that's just not enough when there's so much competition in the form of the Daz figures. They would have to create the desire for people to own the new figures by supplying lots of "must have" goodies at the same time. Otherwise... what's the point? I've got Miki4 and I've got Tyler. Am I going to bother using them? Probably not much. It's a pity about Tyler 'coz he's got lots of potential but it's not really worth my time converting or making clothing for him when I can just use the stuff I already have for M3 and M4 without all the extra time and effort.
