Maybe their educational market contacts are near to where they live and they want to cater to that area. I know for example atBbringham Young university art department, even college and post grad figure drawing can't be done in the nude.

When people plan to penetrate a certai market, they tend to go with what they are familiar with, and most people are most familiar with the customs, laws and habits in their local area.

Regardless of the reason, it is their decison.

 

Well, I guess we can be glad that at least they're from the States somewhere and Dawn isn't being sold with a built-in burka.

But you do see that, from the viewpoint of people outside the US, the lack of nipples and genitals is only a step or two away from above, right?

I mean, if they were Saudis and said, "But we want to market to schools, so we must insist that her hair is covered," (and actually made it difficult to add hair props/figures) you'd find that weird by your standards, and probably complain that maybe the figure's usefulness might be a little compromised.

Well... same here.

ETA: And as a result I do question what all the hype is about. There is huge promotional effort going on to promote a figure that is not only missing key components of her anatomy, but who is modelled in a way that makes adding such components difficult. Why? Doesn't make sense to me.
