First off, it's good that at least someone (Spinner) saw my point. There are tons of figures exactly like this on the marketplace. Why? Gee, I wonder. But yes, they do sell, I won't debate that. The fact is, though, they shouldn't be the top sellers. Everyone knows exactly what these characters are most likely used for. The figure itself isn't even remotely realistic, and anyone who claims differently is probably insane, or just lying. No one can possibly have hips that large, a waist that small, and breasts that large all in one body. The figure is a size -2 waist, 8 hip, and her bra size is something someone would have to send away on special order to get a single one of. Not to mention these massive breasts of hers defy gravity. Did I also mention that high heels like that would require a broken ankle to wear? They must come with a sledgehammer, just like in that movie Misery. Now that's all well and good though. There are so many of these, and clones of these, and so on and so forth, that I can't even begin to comment. What bothered me so much about these figures is that the creator is female herself. I am stunned that she would not only encourage but actually promote the objectification of women in such a manner. And who in gods name told everyone that women need large breasts to be attractive? That is total crap, and completely untrue. In fact, breasts as large as these actually detract from the overall looks of the figure. Not to mention, IF she could even stand up, she'd have a broken spine after a day. I'm well aware of how much time and effort can be put into Poser products. Perhaps more time could be devoted to creating realistic and attractive figures, instead of barbie doll grotesqueries.
