Wow, considering what has gone on here in other threads you are brave indeed to actually ask for criticism.
Personally I think pumeco has the biggest part of the answer. V4 has been going for ten years now and I must have 30 to 40 different character sets and I doubt I am exceptional for anyone who uses V4 regularly. Anyone who is a Prime member has loads of V4 characters available to them for the massive sum of $3.50 and I counted over a dozen in the first 5 pages alone. Many of these are not only for V4 but Genesis too which increases the use for anyone that uses both figures. Any character needs to stand out and offer something different.
On a positive note the sisters are something different but how many of the gallery credits that you noticed were 'pin up' type renders? While the sisters are a little different not many of the pin up artists are likely to buy and for V4 that is a sizable market. In addition, and maybe unfortunately unfortunately, just because you spend a long time on something does not mean it is going to sell well.
Just my view mind, but I don't see anything wrong with your figures, (if I did have a negative comment I cannot see a great deal of skin detail from the promos even if the the promos make an item of it) but neither do they have me reaching for my credit card.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
