Oh I'm pretty sure we will see more figures trying their luck. Nothing wrong with that to be honest. But please, please, I hope it isn't hyped as a vicky killer or the next best thing, if it has no chance becoming so commercially. That will just lead to an early death if false promises are made. To make a commercially successful figure takes a hell of a lot of planning and finance with crap loads of marketing and most importantly, has the backing of a company or party that has a reputation for making commercially successful figures in the past. WIthout the last bit, people will always doubt it's credibility, specially content developers. Content developers need insurance that what they are supporting will take off, otherwise they won't even bother wasting their time. Some will test the waters at first, but others who have been in this game long enough know the risks. Also it has to be easy to develop for and be versatile enough to do what you want. That has to be there in the foundation of the figure before the other aspects apply.
