I agree with Zev on why Rpublishing most likely wont make a figure. The business model in place now works, investing heavily in what might not just does not make good business sense.
As far as who should make one, it does not really matter who makes it. The reason I say that is because we have literally hundreds of Figures to use in Poser.
The difference is what the Users choose to use and support. Poser has always had Figures, it is not their fault people chose to stick to another one. Just about every version has had new Figures.
When a new Figure does come out and starts to take off, it will have everything to do with the Users. They will either choose to support it, or not. To date, "not" has ruled...
No figure will ever "replace" V4, that is not going to happen. Another one could build its way up to that, but to date none have come anywhere close due to the Users choices. Many claim to want a new Figure. But when one does come out it usually fades away because the majority of users didn't really want a new one.
It is a sizable investment to build a Runtime for a Figure. Not every user is prepared to do that.
Building a figure for the minority is why most people don't build them. The ones that know everything about what a new figure should have, most likely never have.
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
