She's at RuntimeDNA, that's what happened. Free figures that are there, no matter how good they are, don't receive much attention elsewhere and aren't really supported by RDNA either. She was overtaken by My Michelle which cost money and is very heavily promoted and supported by RDNA.
It's something that I never understood. A figure gets released, but hardly has any support from the start. Once that happens we know that the figure won't get too far in the community, regardless of how good it is. Poser/DS revolves around content, if a figure lacks it, it will quickly die out. If you're going to create all the effort to design a figure, why not make sure it has lot's of support beforehand? Why go through all the effort for a few minutes of fun and fame?
I stopped getting figures that don't have support from the start, no matter how much I would want them. What good are figures that don't have clothing and items to use? Got enough of those in my runtimes, don't need another one.
I used to buy every 3DUniverse character that was released, until I started to realize how badly they are supported and that even crossdresser and wardrobe wizard support often lacks. I don't bame 3DUniverse for now only releasing genesis based figures, smart move, support guarenteed. I don't like genesis based figures at all, but I understand vendors creating them to avoid the whole lack of content/support issues.
Instead of releasing all kinds of poorly supported poser figures, one thing should be done.... a native 'genesis' like figure for poser, that would be a cool thing and would be worthy of support. But I guess that would be too much effort in a highly divided poser community. Smith Micro should really start working with vendors, instead of doing there own little thing when it comes to releasing figures. It's too sad for words that we have to beg DAZ for years to get Genesis to Poser..... an effort should have been made to have a native poser figure everyone can use in Poser and create cool figures for.
Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(
Food for thought.....
