Trust me if you collect 1/6 figures, I don't care if it's Military, Super Hero or Civil War figures, the rest of the world think of you the same as someone who collects 'scantily clad dolls'.
Yes so are we going to have HD detailing on the private parts of the GIRLFRIEND too
but black widow is a character from iron man, a comic book character and a big movie. i personally would think it's a big strange if i was dating a guy who had a doll of scarjo but at least I realize it's better than having a doll of international Asian star dressed as sexy nurse or some other random 'sexy' female.
However, I agree that the bashing of EB's decision to make this figure is unecessary. Especially coming from people that collect female super heros or female movie characters. Its the same thing, just not based on someone the western audience is familiar with. EB and HT are asian companys, they occasionally should do stuff that pleases their native fans, regardless of whether western sales makes up for more of their revenue (random statement, don't know the details).
I don't think the bashing is because it's a female character that they aren't familiar with, just how they are marketing it as a "beauty doll" girlfriend for lonely collectors, announced on Valentines day.
Sure you can jerk off to whatever you want to. I could care less and I wasn't singling anyone out in particular so you must feel offended. I find it absolutely ridiculous and pathetic that these are even being made. They don't represent anything other than what they are. Pervert material for those who can't get real women. It makes collecting action figures into a whole different realm. I collect movie/comic book related stuff. I don't look at my figures and think sexy. What purpose do these serve? I am at a lost.
People are throwing around words like 'loser' and whatnot, and talking with strange anger, and to me that points to an issue with the person, not the figure. I mean, for your only thought to be that someone is going to try to have sex with a female figure, or hold it as some sort of sexual icon, that's a glimpse into your own mind and life experiences, not that of a potential buyer.
What I don't get is why you're trolling this thread.
I think it's because he's a latent rooted hair doll collector. Just needs a little push out of the closet.
I really don't see how this is any different than a HT TrueType female or a person buying a male or female army nurse or police figure.
I see no difference between this and the upcoming Hot Toys Catwomans.
that's not true, i wouldn't mind dating a guy who had a hot toys superman, batman or whatever, or some military guys... but dolls with rooted hair dressed like nurses or what not? i would be like wtf..
1. Dolls that depict women accurately in historical or professional contexts have some sense of respect or intellectual interest attached to them. And do not insult women who serve, by comparing them to someone playing a sexed-up 'nurse' in an action film.
2. Dolls that depict interesting female characters like Black Widow or Catwoman, also have more respect and depth beyond merely sex objects.
What Enterbay seems to be aiming at are women solely as sex objects. I know some men take that as shrill 'feminist' talk, but it is not healthy for men to only relate to women in such a one-dimensional fashion. Even if the announcement is done in humour, it still reflects a real problem in this gaming/collecting, which Wil Wheaton summed up as "don't be a ____".
If they were accurate, historical figures of nurses or other women in uniform, I would probably be like wtf too, but in a more literal sense.
