Quote - Dawn's rig will mature, but unfortunately without polys in all the right places, there is a very short glass ceiling that will limit that maturation.

It isn't a new generation, it's a regression in a few key ways. 

New figures are becoming ubiquitous these days, the standout figure that will capture the attention of the entire community will be one that:

 

Has no bending issues

Has realistic expressions

Has a neutral face and neutral body shape for maximum individualization

Has all expected morphs and more

Has Genitals out-of-the-box and built in to the geometry

I can't think of anything else to add, these few things are all that is required. 

 

It is maddening that V4 came out 1000 years ago and since then nothing has been better, even though people are always pipe dreaming about how a new figure should be, key factors are always ignored.

 

Those things and also not a lower poly figure that's designed to take advantage of the subdivision in one piece of software making it difficult to render in anything else.
