Maybe, don't put a winter themed character in short shorts and an armored bustier and your wives won't think your'e sculpting things for sex appeal. Maybe don't show skin just to show skin.

But maybe I'm just talking crazy.

I will always love a good barbarian figure, but as someone who actively, ACTIVELY hates being cold, every time I see a barbarian regardless of gender running around in a fur bikini in the snow I think about how miserable they must be. I'm dressed like the Duban figure if it's even thinking about dropping below 60 degrees, not like Attlus.

It's like they learned about string vests and forgot you needed the layers on top of it.

Oh, yeah, it’s like from back in the DCUC days, so take if as a “mid-aughts, boys being boys, good natured misogyny is humor” kind of comment not an “alt right incel dog whistle, F**k that B***h!” comment but when asked why Catwoman/Power Girl/Wonder Woman weren’t sculpted “sexier” they would always respond with some version of “well I don’t think my wife would appreciate if I spent all day sculpting sexy babes”

And to their credit, I haven’t heard them say it RECENTLY, although they still do appear on a toy podcast called “My Wife’s Gonna Kill Me” regularly. But this was at the same time we, as a toy collecting community, decided to start a poorly done figure of Wanda Maximoff “Scarlet Mitch” so the entire community had a lot of learning and growing to do over these last two decades.

It’s only a comment that sticks in my mind because my wife throws it around all the time when they do a shitty job on their female figures “wow Treadway! Was your wife gonna get mad at you if gave her a functional waist joint!” Kind of stuff

Joke or not, that might be one of the stupider things that the 4H have ever said out loud to an audience. Even if it was supposed to be a shot across the bow at incel douchebags that are always complaining that their action figures aren't fuckable enough, it was dumb.

Just the theory of it. Imagine sculpting a naked female body as part of your action figure line and thinking about how sexually attracted you're allowed to be to the plastic toy. Men are just... the worst.

Okay that is objectively hilarious especially that it's your wife busting on them.

I hope just because it's the better option it was a bad attempt at telling the audience to stop demanding fuckable action figures. But I am now truly entertained that Mythic Legions figures LITERALLY have no ass. like, just a square Lego block back there. Minecraft buttocks. Which leads me to laugh at how I've got Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe with my Legions dwarves on the shelf and Gilius has ass cheeks hanging out of his kilt like two gnomes wrasslin'. Dude isn't caked up but he definitely has muffins back there, at least. Or how there's a whole section of the action figure industry trying to figure out how to best engineer Cammy's cheeks for Street Fighter.

But also knowing enough artists and photographers who are absolutely getting horned up off their own work, knowing authors who work their own kinks into their stories, etc., there's a zero percent chance at least some action figure sculptors aren't at least a little aroused sculpting butts and boobs. Men as a large group really are just yucky. I mean, there's a whole cottage industry of figures for gooning. Even the Mythic Legions barbarians are pretty staid in comparison to other lines.

I really don't know why we have to bring McFarlane's NHL line into this.

That eternal heated rivalry between McFarlane and Japanese import figures.

Also can I say at 49 years old I am actively mad that "gooning" has entered my lexicon. I preferred "goon" when it was just a guy Batman beat up on his way to get to the main villain of the story arc.

I would make sculpts based on my sexy babe wife

In all seriousness Frazetta used his wife as a model all the time, and a few artists I know from comic cons have their wives posing for them consistently. If anything, a healthy relationship means you can say "babe, can I draw your butt today?" and have it be perfectly normal.

I'm mad that it enters the lexicon in that they are talking about it on the f****** news.

That and the looksmaxxing. Ugh.

I hate that both of the words are in my vocabulary, but somehow it's even worse that it's also on the news. Peter Thiel Funds Looksmaxxer Clavicular was a real headline this morning and if I weren't already on the edge of ending it all, that would have put me there.
