Quote - @vilters - I agree that it seems similar to the Antonia hype. However there is one major difference: Out of the box, Dawn is traditionally speaking much prettier and has a more realistic face (especially lips) than Antonia. Point being: Dawn could actually live up to the hype.

Antonia is great & has her place, but in the world of artwork, many people want a classic pretty face. Look at what sells here at Renderosity & elsewhere: Young, stereotypically pretty faces on thin bodies with ample boobs. Fine by me, but it does leave Antonia & other figures facing a smaller market of content buyers. Dawn is a bit more traditional (read: model pretty) so I think she may do a better than her indy predecessors.

 

Thats part of the 'one up' she has over antonia.  The big differentiator is that she has a team behind her that is financially invested in her success.  Thats huge.  Thats the biggest reason this project has a real shot.  

Until I'm proven wrong I'll still say antoniaWM is the best bending poser figure out there. But as a team it was not our objective to make her a financial success.  We were working to give the community something to run with.  Our goal was to get her out and move on with other things.  Looking back its easy to see why she didnt get supported.  Where is the security for the content creators?  This figure is going to be anchoring a storefront.  As a vendor you know that the figure team is in the trenches with you.  To me that may be the bridge that was missing for previous 3rd party figures.  Its a compelling reason to take a bit of a leap of faith in supporting Dawn with some commercially viable content.
