There is no coming back for Dawn to be honest. We have all seen this pattern before. She has already tapered off. I do not see her attracting vendors, because her business model is flawed. And in 6 months to a years time, nothing would have changed. Reality is she will never be a figure that attracts major vendor support on a mass scale.
That ship has already sailed. She had her shot, and if you can't keep vendors during that initial launch period, they hardly give a figure a second chance. You will need to seriously convince them why they should. Money talks, and if those vendors initially made good money with her, they would have continued supporting her, but most off them didn't and returned to the tried and trusted. Unless all Poser users have a version that can use her, she doesn't stand a chance of gaining mass support. She is a niche figure, simple as that, and I do not see all Poser users upgrading just for her. Vendors have bills to pay, they need security. A bank will not infest in you if you are a risk, that is how vendors determine what figure to invest in. If it's risky, they will pass. Many have taken risks before and got burned, so they are more cautious the next time around. Yes it is nice to be hopeful, but there is a difference between that and ignorance.
