Quote - 'Rosity should hire someone to fix their "search" function - because it certainly isn't actually finding what is available here.

The search function relies on the data that the vendor provides for their product. If the vendor doesn't list their product correctly in the store, then the search feature can't find it. This has been an on-going issue for several years that is always frustrating. Many times the name of a product doesn't even say which figure it is for, so you have to open the actual page and then read the details for what figure is required to use it. 

I would personally like to see certain requirements such as this made so that products are placed in the proper categories and the right key words are used. Though at the same time, I'm not sure what the current requirements are for product listing, so I don't want it to sound like I'm blaming vendors for all of it. 

Maybe a suggestion could be put in the customer support forum where categories could be created for different ethnicities, or something that would allow for different character types. It could be beneficial to vendors too when searching the store to see if somethng they are interested in creating already has something similar available. I guess there could be drawbacks to that approach as well.

1st page, 2nd character, not caucasian. Very nice character too, with a Halloween theme included.
