Quote -Some of the Poser 2 figures were modeled with built in clothing - nothing this elaborate of course, but the same concept. IIRC there were even morphs to do things like create a skirt on the figure or remove it.
I think that Letterworks is correct about the market. Even at Poset level prices, buying a 'dedicated' knight in armor vs. buying a generic figurs that you can turn into a variety of characters - the latter seems more attractive. Gaming models are a different market. Things like creatures and monsters are more where I think this sort of model would appeal. Even there, people seem to like the flexibility of putting the Freak in a tutu etc. Genesis may change things in a way in that regard, but you're still dealing with a protean mesh being transformed into different forms, rather than a dedicated figure.
I'm not veary familiar with them but some of the Sanctum Arts figures probably come closest to these figures. As AmbientShade says, for the price they would require, the market probably isn't there. I can see them appealing to someone making maybe a long running comic or a film - for genaral Poser hobbyists not so much - people value flexibility.
Got a URL for Sanctum Arts ?
I wouldn't make meshes this complicated just for sales.
