Quote - > Quote - This may have been mentioned before but when Dawn came out there was already this rush to move on to the Genesis figure as well and some customers were left bitter and confused by it all.  Both introductions seemed rushed to me, almost as if they had to see who could bait the larger part of the customer base, though in that aspect Genesis did have the home field advantage.

From the standpoint of someone who was not sold on just one figure or the other at first the Daz line seemed more complete and supported then Dawn herself did.  I did not know what was going to happen on either side, but as time went on it seemed Dawn's cycle of support kind of withered away while Genesis continued to get its fans and cheerleaders.

Hivewire seems to have some talented modelers, I don't believe that they are not a force to be reckoned with.  

I haven't seen support for Dawn "wither" away, but I imagine that with the big build up Dawn received, and the excitement around her, some people have been somewhat disillusioned that she wasn't the Genesis killer  a lot of people wanted her to be. But I still see the main brokerages selling things for Dawn, well, all except DAZ, of course. And a number iof the people who used to post here in support of Dawn have migrated over to the Hivewire forums. They still come here occasionally, but for the most part, I see them over there, happily supporting their favorite figure. So if you think support has "withered away", I just don't see it.

I see.  

I've seen some things pop up for Dawn, the new products here and at another store were what made me decide to look into her a little more then before, and I was probably disillusioned as well by the same fact that you posted.  Being a newer customer for this figure I haven't been so involved with her community so I did not realize that a number of her supporters moved to hivewire.  I just remember her coming out strong and then things kind of calmed down on her behalf. 

One thing that peaked my interest was the talk of the male counterpart.  I hope that is still a possibility and I am really interested to see how he looks.  :)
