Anyway, I think a good reason to run this thread can be to encourage vendors to try different products. Is it really a fact that variants in ethnics don't sell?

Me myself I have spent many hours (not only at Rendo's, but also on other markets) to find i.e. hispanic or aboriginal or GOOD (real) african figures. Maybe I am a bit overcritic, having worked and lived in Central-East-Africa for almost a decade. If I see a Poser figure sold as native african, where the vendor has just darkened the skin, I want to cry. There are only 3 or 4 african native characters I ever found at Rendo's which didn't make me cry or laugh. Tempesta3D is a very honorable exception in this. I tried to find some acceptable hispano or south american figure, but up to now I didn't consider any of the offered ones worth the money.

So maybe (and in my oppinion most likely) the problem is not missing clients for these figures, but missing quality of those offered?

I want to apologize if my language may not be politically correct somewhere. English is not my first language, and living in Africa for such a long time makes you relaxed about these things. People there call themselves 'blacks' and even insist being called like this, and the same way I got used to be addressed as 'mzungu' all the time, even calling you from a distance, the (intended) meaning of 'mzungu' is 'white guy', even if the literal meaning in Swahili is different from this. I had to learn not to feel offended, so again my apologies if I chose any wrong words in my comment.
