Right because having a display of Honey Trap girls is totally the same as a display that features Luke, Han, the Droids, Vader, Boba Fett, Chewie, and Slave Leia all together. Whatever works for you man. That was obviously one heck of a nerve I hit a couple weeks back by stating how these are perceived by *society.* I'm actually quite surprised. I suppose there's no point in countering every little misquote that apparently is going to keep popping up in this thread so to anyone who wants to spin my words in some crazy way to make yourself feel better, hey, go ahead. I have nothing more to say on the topic.
Society, you, either way my point is the same.
I'm simply pointing out your argument is flawed. You're essentially calling people (or you say society does) who would buy one of these figures weird (and that's putting what you said lightly) based on the fact they have no tie in to anything (or anything mainstream). With that reasoning they can't be validly attacked based on the statues looks alone if it's socially acceptable to have a Leia whose got less clothes on. So essentially if one of these characters had been in Star Wars or any other "respectable" film it wouldn't be weird to own one (by yours or society standards)! Well they are definitely not attached to an unexceptionable film, so no immediate negative relation.
As I said before your general argument is valid, if you littered your living room with girl statues you would be looked at weird, but if you littered your living room with Star Wars figures you'd be looked at as nutty as well, or Twilight, or cat pictures you'd be looked at as nutty. People have to draw their own lines, and if your putting all your crap in a room of your house that everyone sees then you frankly deserve to be labeled as a nut, and I would assume if you're doing so you don't care. But what you're doing here sir is essentially applying an extreme situation to everyone interested in one or more of these items.
As I've stated before my main interest in this line was for Whisper, as she's almost a spitting image of my Death is a Woman vintage movie poster (not mainstream (an old British thriller)... I'm weird....), and if anyone saw the figure and the poster there would be no confusion as to the similarities and the reason I bought the statue. I like the poster, I like the film, I like the figure and as far as anyone else would know it is from the film. Is that a good enough tie in? Oh no wait, we're painting everyone with a broad brush here... that film isn't widely known... I guess I'm a freak!!! Frankly I couldn't give a flying flip about what society thinks about what I collect, and as a person whose got shelf's of Star Wars and Twilight stuff (which by the way most people don't think of as "respectable", among film enthusiasts Twilight is movie blasphemy), by the same standards you would be considered weird by society, most of the people here would be! Spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on statues would be looked upon as nutty by "society".
What was the purpose for bringing this up in the first place? Do you just like to start arguments? Because obviously you have a window into all of our homes and know what we have... well sorry to disappoint you (and society) but I currently have 0 pieces and only a few movie posters hung up in a bedroom office. But since I'm interested in one piece of this collection I guess I'm weird...
And this whole knocking things because they aren't "mainstream" is insane as well. I hate to break it to you but people who are nutty collectors for mainstream stuff (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.) are usually looked at as nuttier than those into more unknown items, because what's unknown to most of the general public has no stereotypes, Star Wars and Star Trek fans do. I mainly collect movie posters and all the posters I collect are low budget, low released foreign posters from the 60's-70's, when posters were art and still hand drawn. I have a few hanging in my office at work (which is a professional business office) and I've gotten nothing but positive comments regarding them from co-workers and clients. If I had Batman or Star Wars posters on my wall they'd probably think differently. So lets stop painting everyone with a broad brush, thinking we know everything, hiding behind your arguments under the guise of this is what "society" thinks, if you didn't feel the same way you would have never brought it up! Frankly who cares what society thinks don't get me started on the perverse things society thinks is OKAY. I really think you give society too much credit, if you care that much about what society thinks of your hobby (when it's legal) I feel sorry for you. You collect what you want, and let others collect what they want and don't be so presumptuous as to think you know why people collect something, or how they're viewed, unless your goal is to just start an argument, then do be so kind to just state that so everyone can just ignore it.
By the way since you're stuck on society you ought to watch the film Society (1989), some good parallels there.
Brilliant post! Surprising how Khev thinks only "desperate losers" would be interested in the Honey Pot girls, but he's a "success in life" because he chooses to load his house with statues of comic book chicks in spandex with gigantic ****s
And while you're at it try and pull up a post where I actually said that I think desperate losers would buy these. 
now that sucks!
