In thinking about this whole M3 Marketing Scheme, it seems to me that a lot of M3 Characters could be sold if they looked like FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD STARS from the PAST. I emphasize PAST, as current pretty-boy stars have nasty lawyers. BUT- I doubt it if you would get hassled if you made Pretty-Boy characters based on Rock Hudson, Troy Donahue and a slew of others like that from the previous decades. They could be marketed as "Rock", "Troy" look-a-likes. The advantages are this- A good-looking, handsome character actor face would appeal to both male and females. I would buy them so that I could further "characterize" them with beards, mustaches, period-style clothes, etc. I often buy sexy looking Vicky clothes just because they look so $%#@ Sexy! However, I'm NOT going to buy sexy clothes for Mike so that I can look at his butt and play with the crotch zipper. I'm sure that DOES have appeal for some out there, but I'm one of those guys that wants COOL CHARACTERS and not boy-toys. Give the straight-buying Mike audience some really cool looking, (handsome or tough-guy), Movie-Star quality character faces and M3 would be a real appealing winner, I think. The rest of you can buy the ugly monster faces if you like, but that's kid-stuff, in my opinion.
