As a member in good standing of group 2, you nailed it.  For me anyway. 

As far as genesis, the problem isn't with the figure - it is with the vision of the vendors making content for it.  The only vendor I know of that is making full use of the genesis capabilities is Male3dia.  He has made a wide variety of ethnicities, sizes etc.  It's a shame really, I feel a lot of vendors have missed an opportunity by just continuing to make the same old stuff as opposed to pushing the tech where it could really go.

Agree. Not all vendors are as creative or willing to take risks. Male_M3dia has been making male content for a long time. He's obviously willing to take risks. But, as he points out, taking risks with Genesis isn't quite as costly as it is with Gen 4 figures, because of the built-in versatility. I'm hoping that the creative vendors find a home that permits them to let their imaginations loose. But, given how long it takes for them to create even one quality piece, it's going to take quite some time before you see it really take off. Hopefully, by then, DSON importation will have improved (either through tech upgrades by Daz or Smith Micro).
