Not that there aren't any Dakkanauts who are interested, but I think the prints are a match for the RPG market, whose players tend to want unique miniatures that aren't available on the market, only need one miniature for their character, and don't paint as much as Dakkans.

With Hero Forge, one of my players can create his white-haired braided-ponytail light-chainmail dual-katana etc. etc. player character that he made in a MMORPG game and I don't have to paint as if I could find a miniature like that in the first place.

Exactly. Hard-core mini gamers are not the target audience, but RPGers and others who do not paint, but want one or a few unique models. It's easy to forget that for those who don't paint, even the crappy paint jobs found on the original Mage Knight (from 2002) figures were acceptable. Just having a little color to bring out details is often enough to please a non-painter gamer. (Sure, they want high quality if they can get it, but since they can't do it themselves, and they want affordable, they set their sights lower.)
