Trouble with new male figures is that generally the clothes I need for them are fairly specific and without those clothes it's not worth me investing in a new figure. Most of my renders are historical, historical fantasy and sci-fi. Some of that I can cover for any figure with dynamic clothing, but the big problem for male figures is armour. There aren't many good historical armour sets out there anyway and what there is is for M3 and M4. It's not worth working on converting these sets to a different figure as no one's going to see much of the figure itself anyway. Same goes for sci-fi renders as most of them use heavy combat suits.

Most of the clothing for new male figures tends to be either everyday stuff or completely fantasy armours which I'm never going to use.

I'd like to get new male figures but it's probably not worth it just to do a couple of nude renders so I can be impressed by how great the figure looks and then never use it again :(
