Quote - I will say this though, as an aside. Granted, their faces and bodies do make them hot, but what if, like Freddie, they were ugly and scarred? Would they still be as interesting? I mean, let's face it, how many female versions of mummies do you see around, or female werewolves, or female centaurs or Minotaurs?
That's my point. The male version does NOT have to be hot in order to be interesting. And trying to sell more of a male figure by appealing to its sexual attractiveness is likely going to backfire, as it may sell less well to men.
Pumeco is right that the attractiveness of a model will affect sales. An ugly figure probably won't sell well to anyone. But if it's male, specifically appealing to that figure's sex appeal prolly ain't the way to sell more copies.
I also expect Shane is quite right when he says if the content is well made, it will sell.
