Considering the obstacles Dawn faces, she has done well. I have done some checking in my runtimes.
I now have more characters/textures for Dawn than for any Poser G2 figure (Jessi, Sydney, Olivia etc), and I own just about every decent character that has been produced for them, and even resorted to making some myself because there were so few.
I finally have a reasonable set of morphs for Dawn, but to get them I had to buy several packages, some of them by third parties. It cost me quite a bit to get the morphs, because I snapped them up as soon as they appeared and didn't wait for sales. I still don't have a way of ageing Dawn effectively unless I make the morph myself. I can live with that.
My Dawn now has more clothes (most of them free) than Michelle. There are many pieces of clothing for her that I won't buy, because I have no use for them. But my Dawn is OK, she is dressed. As my mother would say: "Her ass is covered".
The two figures I own that have more textures and clothes than Dawn, are V3 and V4. That is not really a fair comparison, they have had a huge head start. Dawn hasn't taken over the world, but in terms of support she definitely has done better than Alyson2/Anastasia, Michelle, Cynthia or Angela. Roxie, bless her heart, is not even in the running. I am not sure how Dawn's success compares with Miki4, I don't really keep up with the Japanese Poser sites.
Overall, I would say that is not bad. I doubt whether any new figure will equal the Vickies again, the landscape has changed so much.
For the Poser user who doesn't want to use Vicky all the time, Dawn is a viable alternative.
