Woah hold up dude, way to make a back-handed compliment! I'm so sick of that tired old argument that commenting on an action figures physical attributes is somehow wrong or dirty or creepy. We are on a forum, that is part of a website, that deals in physically dissecting and commenting on every facet of an action figures appeal aren't we?

I'm not trying to be creepy, I'm just saying I appreciate the aesthetics of the figure. The aesthetics are just as important a factor as articulation, paint apps, accessories etc. & if the fig is flaunting some obvious sex appeal, it's a perfectly valid point to bring up in a discussion/review. Hasbro is obviously aware that this body mold sells, & really I'm just saying what I'm sure a lot of other collectors are thinking.

I have a beautiful wife & am blissfully married, I'm not fauning over some inanimate object I wish I could Pinnocio to life so it would become my girlfriend. I'm just making honest observations on one of my favourite & one of the best action figure lines around, Marvel Legends.

I admit I can be enthusiastic in my approach, but that's just because the figures are that damn good! I have no problem commenting on the new Captain Britain's ripped abs or broad shoulders, or the new Ultimate Spidey's lean athletic frame & tight buns. If we're gonna talk about action figures, the physical appeal is part of that. Anybody who says otherwise is being naive.
