What is really irritating me is that they are pushing for people to buy these new Models that come out for gen 9 that are for certain IPs, like how is DAZ getting away with selling those?

Their big Star Trek and Dark Knight sets both got pulled. I've heard vendors say they get the bulk of their money for a product in the first week. So, if an item lasts a week in the store, I guess the vendor got paid for the items sold. Obviously, any store offers paid EL items for the money. It's a nudge-nudge-wink-wink thing.

Some vendors sell products that look infringing to me and it's under commercial license. And the store selling the products often doesn't seem to care. It's up to the copyright holder to say "Stop that!" Perhaps the copyright holder is busy? No idea. In any case, all that becomes Buyer Beware! 

I had noticed certain things going missing from the "new release" sections.

But I also know there are things available that are direct copies of IP materials.

They werent all released with big fan fair as they did with a certain space western, or marvel release, but they are definitely copies.

As for the artists, that is pretty sad to hear. As it cant be much they are making.
Ill say it again, I rather give 100% of my purchasing power to the artist directly.
