This is everything wrong with this hobby in one photo.

New Rule - Star Puffs needs to stay off of Autobot Jon's web page.

I have this.

I think it looks cool.

That is all.

 

[Kamandi]

That is cool. Royo?

Yes; it's called The Touch of Ice.

I like the direction of this thread

Not doing hoodrat things - I can tell you that.

This thread reminds me of a crazy wild animal in a cage being poked by people with sticks of logic and intelligence. It aint pretty.

look at this Burger ...... It knows what we desire and its flaunting it for everyone to see. How dare it prey upon our human feelings of hunger. The bun barely covers its tasty bits. Created to provide nourishment and fuel for our bodies yet its prepared and marketed like a whore.
At least a quesadilla is still delicious without putting its meat out there to be ogled by just anyone.

I think Jen and Kamandi have summed up the counter-opinion beautifully and I can honestly say they expressed my opinion as a collector of 1/6 scale figures.

I believe Star Puffs is entitled to her opinion even though I think overall she is wrong. I would only say that this figure does not sum up the hobby. The first 2 things I thought when I first saw this figure was of the line of Japanese Bandai action figures that put cute girls in Gundam armor in a very similar manner except they include a breast plate and helmet to complete the ensemble. The second thing that came to mind was I wonder if whoever made this custom ever thought to make a breast plate, helmet and some kind of energy weapon like a laser sword or bo staff.

I have seen this custom before and the kit bash juices start flowing whenever I see it. I hope it isn't out of bounds to admit I'd like to try and make a figure like this just with more armor like the aforementioned breast plate and helmet. Very Bubblegum Crisis.

When I look at that burger I want to give it one of these:

I'm not bad mouthing Kate Beckinsale. She's a very sexy woman. I am just saying that in the majority of her roles...she is kicking *** in some rather impractical outfits. For instance:

Why is it that women in action films tend to wear skin tight leather/latex outfits? The chaffing must be horrendous!

The X Men all wore tight leathers too, and it is ridiculous. The actors could barely even move, couldn't spread their legs wide enough to step over a short brick wall, so they had to hop over with one hand on the wall. The spandex outfits that they have always had in the comics allow total freedom of movement, with the greatest of ease, and don't chafe.

The reason why they wear tight leather/latex outfits is because they want the characters to be dressed less comic like and more real life, and leather is associated with toughness. The look of leather is considered sexy or macho.

However, they want the characters to still look fairly sleek, or they will look nothing like superheroes, so they make the outfits tight.
The problem is that tight leather isn't very flexible, so it's totally impractical. You would need an armadillo type of articulation at every joint to give it any real maneuverability, like late 16th century plate armor.
That's what I think.

Actually, I always find the shoes that women wear in action movies or tv action shows to be stupid. They're usually in some sort of heel that you normally could barely walk in, let alone run and jump in. Female cops shows are the worst.

While we're talking about it, it always drives me nuts on the CSI shows when the females on there are always in heels or showing cleveage while they're checking out dead bodies.

I agree about the heels. I've always thought they were impractical, and ridiculous, and for a long time never understood how any self respecting woman would put up with having to wear those.

I've asked some women why they wear heels, since they are so ridiculous and uncomfortable looking, and they say it makes them taller, which they like a lot, and I can understand that. Even so, I think that the discomfort of having your weight distributed like that wouldn't be worth the illusion of added height. Just stand on your tip toes instead and exercise your calves, and you would have nicer legs, too. Standing on your tip toes ridiculous? no more than wearing high heels, I say.

And so many can't even pretend to be comfortable in them. You can clearly see they can barely walk and look ridiculous in the attempt. I also just don't understand it.
