While I can perfectly understand vendors following the market trend believing that this will bring them the best reward for their work, and they may well be right in the short term, in the longer term this may well be wrong for everyone. On another site a vendor has stated that products for SM figures don't sell. Perhaps one reason for this is that, that part of the market was allowed to wither and die. Users were forced into the arms of V4/M4 and that market now seems rather saturated. Hence vendors are now deserting poser entirely and creating for the only new market segment, G3. But where will they go once that segment gets saturated? Wait for G4 I suppose. But if I take the example of Tempesta3d, here is a vendor who has created content for a wide range of figures. I'm guessing I'm not typical, I like to use as many different figures as I can. Looking through my runtimes I have only about 4 Tempesta characters for V4 and 1 for M4, while I've got 36 for other figures, from Miki 2 to Pauline, via Dawn, Dusk, Anastasia, Scarlet, Miki4 and various Alyson's. (By the way, if anyone is looking for a great Miki 4 character check out Tempesta's Patrizia!) So as far as getting my money it's been a wise commercial decision of Tempesta not to concentrate on the popular figures.
