Now, that's REALLY thinking outside the box ! MB must have released half a dozen of these female figure kits over the last couple of years. If they weren't good sellers I'm sure they would of stopped after the first couple of releases.
Not my cup of tea but to each their own......
A good weekend all

Yes but...this is really raising the bar (or lowering it!). These look like Japanese Manga, almost kiddie porn style, judging from their youthful faces. What was MB thinking?

Have to agree.
Don't see the point to them.
If you see a use for them,maybe you see a shrink.

See a shrink?
Why?
Because your style is not somebody else' style?
Rather arrogant IMO.
I am sure that all the effort it took to be able to market these figures has been carefully reviewed by the producers.
Maybe the whole point lays in the fact that the definition of 'decent' and/or 'porn' in the USA at one side and Asia and Europe at the other show quite a gap.
And than one may carefully conclude that if you start to get erotic feeling by seeing these figures you may be way of a sound psychological status.
These figures are intended to be FUN, nothing more, nothing less....

AGREE, MOST EMPHATICALLY!!!

What ANY modeller chooses to buy and/or display in his/her own home is ENTIRELY UP TO THEM, and NO ONE ELSE!!! Just because certain people among us don't necessarily agree with the CONTENT of these figure kits, or for that matter, THE INTENTIONS of the manufacturer, for which some of you are merely conjecturing over, this doesn't mean that ALL modellers who create anything outside of ARMORAMA's field of interest should be penalized, derided, or denegrated, MYSELF INCLUDED!

I happen to be an AVID Figure Modeller, and within that particular niche, my fields of interest reach far and wide. I model Figures in 1/48, up to and including 120mm. To summarily pronounce these new MASTERBOX figure sets as a "New Low" or "The Bottom of the Barrel", is not only narrow-minded, but INSULTING to Figure Modellers, in general!

In my opinion, these figures pose no "moral hazards", as FAR WORSE can be seen on regular "Prime Time" TV...

Can we just let this topic die a quiet death? I think we all understand both viewpoints and we all knew in advance what the arguments would be and that there would be a clear division of opinions.

Maybe my problem, but how on earth do you come from these funny figures to porn? To me it looks that in the USA showing a bare knee is already tricky! ( but maybe the standards will change after DT enters The Office?)
I guess the Masterbox staff sees a market for this kind of modelling.Why otherwise invest quite some mony in the moulds, marketing etc.
Porn? Ahum......
