From my point of view though, its not just their loss, its everyones. well everyone who wants a figure for a wide range of uses. If its the 'porn' figure its not going to get the support for non erotic uses and unfortunately at that point it will cease to matter if its the-hands-down-best figure ever made. Even someone who doesnt care at all if it has genitals but wants to be able to use a figure for 'everyday' work is screwed unless they can provide the clothing for it. Now if you are a clothing creator who makes kind of everyday not to sexual stuff but the figure is known to mostly be used for erotica are you going to put any time into it.. probably not as the target audience for that figure wont have much interest in your work. even if you are doing it for free you want people to at least appreciate and use your work.
But that would have to be the figure without the genitals, but still made by erogenesis. The marketing strategy would have to be VERY cunning, and I'd have to redesign my whole site because its chock full of very erotic and explicit stuff. Hmmmm...
I don't like the idea of having to curb my fun-loving image for the sake of selling the figure to people that cannot handle sexy imagery, but then again, like you say the support will be minimal. Unless I have a separate website for the figure. Hmmpf!
You raise a good point though.
The thing is, I hope I can find a way to make it easily fit V4's stuff, then it should work. But that's a big IF!
