General Marvel Legends

[joshsquash729]

This has now scientifically been proven because as a kid my mom finally caved to my persistent begging and bought me She-Ra, Glimmer, Frosta, Castaspella, and Angella from the PoP line and now here I sit in 2025 with a real fondness for dicks.

Same! I know I've mentioned a few times that my dad didn't let me have female action figures as a kid, even Jedi or Transformers or anything, for fear I'd turn out gay. Obviously it was a bummer, but that meant that I was surrounded by a swath of little plastic men, which ironically sounds even gayer than throwing a few bazongas in there. Seeing as how I had a crush on a bunch of characters that I also had toys of- Robin, Spidey, Shaggy, Milo Thatch, Anakin- I suppose you could argue he was really doing me a favor.

Looking back we totally should have just posed all of our male figures in a big orgy. I bet that would have gotten us some female figures bought for us promptly.

He-Man using that big left slappy hand to cup Teela's bosom.

Good Lord! You just got me to remember doing the same thing!

So that's what that hand was for.... I don't even want to know what you guys used Fisto or Jitsu's oversized hands for

I mean, we all made our action figures kiss from time to time, right? No? Just me?

Basically this, but on the toy shelf:

One of our (our being me and my sister and cousin) favorite things to do as kids was dump out a big box of our figures onto the floor and then look and see who landed in "compromising" positions.

"Oh nice, April's face landed in Leonardo's crotch."

Yeah we were weird.

You all just gave me a flashback to when my folks gave me a set of Dukes of Hazard action figures and my half-formed brain was looking at Daisy like "I don't know what to do with the power I have been granted by being given this toy."

We generally had both genders of action figures around growing up, but my sister and I were close in age and we'd play together, so my folks had no hesitation making sure there were Teelas and Evil-Lyns in the toy box. If anything, they wished there was better representation of girl characters so she'd have more options. (Meanwhile one of my sister's sons favorite character? Luisa from Encanto. We're all hoping the first girl he brings home when he's a teenager is a nice young woman who looks like she can deadlift him. I hope he finds the joy he seeks once he's older.)

Lol that picture in the link really cracked me up.

She's like: "Whatchoo lookin' at boy, come here to me and be my husband"

I think the 80s redheaded women were certainly additive in my life. My mom, sister, niece, wife, and step daughter are all redheads. My hair is mostly gray as a result.

A "come hither" look to strike fear into the hearts of people who know better.

I had plenty of female Marvel figures growing up. I never did anything controversial with them though. Just used them like I would any figure. I didn't go to figures for that well lol

 

[Ru1977]

I was interested and curious about girls as long as I can remember, and yeah sometimes that crept into my figure playing. And, having been raised Catholic, I felt pretty terrible about it. Thankfully I shed my faith by the time puberty took hold. In high school I would have been hailing Big M constantly.

 

[AceofKnaves]

*I* didn’t do anything controversial with my figures, other than turning most of my joes into zombies and monsters in high school.

That said: more than once, my college dorm room was “broken into” by hall mates and my various figures pulled out and positioned in as many weird sex positions as the articulation of the mid-/late-90s would allow.

 

[Ru1977]

Ah man. One of my best friends after high school was a Trek guy, while I was the star wars guy, and we had a back and forth of doing that to each other's collections. Fortunately for me, playmates made it way easier to position the figures correctly than the POTF2 articulation.

Worf for instance, spit on that fist and the other hand... Well doesn't take a lot of imagination.
