This is the core reason why antonia FAILED this why Project E will ultimately FAIL and scarlet and Dawn etc etc etc..

Project E will not fail because I know one artist that is going to use her actively. Me. If nobody else wants to use her that's none of my business. Better yet, she has been entertaining people for well over a year in two popular free comics. That's what its about for me. I have comics to make, I will use project E, just like all those Maya and Max and Lightwave and C4D artists model and rig their own figure that will never hit the market. It would be cool if I could make a bit of pocket change with her, but I'm not entering this figure race so that I can start setting up yet another ridiculous tribe.

I am so glad you responded in this manner, for something to be a failure you also have to define what is success. For some the whole point in any new figure the aim is to give something a vendor can make money out of with as little effort as possible but that is a very narrow view. Others feel it must sell better than, and replace V4, a view I think is doomed to failure considering the world has moved on since V4 was launched.

At present I use Dawn mainly, I still use V4 but not as much as before. I do not see Dawn as a failure and I have great fun using the figure and, if it makes me happy, I define that as a success. I have followed the E project for some time and I know your initial motivation was to have a figure you could use but you were also prepared to release it to the wider community I can't see how that can fail except that it won't make vendors the type of money V4 did.
