Inappropriate Figures

[IvenBach]

I think we do not see such miniatures because they are unsettling for the men who work in the mini industry. The idea of seeing a man reduced to a piece of sex meat for anyone's taking is a threatening visual that makes them squirm on a primal level. Yet they are perfectly willing to reduce the female form to a subservient possession to please the male gaze.

Sarcasm: I've tried walking up to women in a bondage outfit and saying I'm theirs for the taking. Me exposing myself to them in that way didn't end very well... /Sarcasm
I prefer any minis I have to be fully clothed in adequate adventuring gear, my daughter is eventually going to play games with me (she has no choice in the matter). Barbarian is wrapped in furs & leathers, Paladin generally plated up or chain shirt at minimum, Mage is typically minimal armor (depends on game & edition. D&D 5E lets wizard armor up if they want WOOT!), Dwarf in chain or heavier, Elf in sneaky bathrobe, the one-eyed-monster or what ever it may be in appropriate garb. http://forum.yeoldeinn.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2717&hilit=bikini#p48165 pretty much sums it up for me. I can suspend disbelief a bit with magic but past a point you needa rethink things.

and at my table we bring a heavy RP element to the games
I have adults at my game table. The one 'youth' at the table is now 16 and she is pretty much a young adult now. Adult themes have finally become available after years of G rated and PG games.

You can ask Thantos if he makes you one.

Or buy this. Not save for work, Americans and Kids.

Baloney.
The figures of sexy slave men and sexually available men, have never been made en mass, so they have never sold...
There has never been a line of sexy male miniatures produced and marketed by a major mini's company. So how are we so sure that they wouldn't sell?!

It is a circular argument that these types of things are not marketable. No one has even gave it an honest go.

Well, I'm sorry to prove you wrong there Cynthia.

WARNING Not Safe For Work!!



Hasslefree does lots of nude minis. Women AND men. Also plenty of scantily clad models of both sexes. Why don't other companies? Well, you gave that answer yourself:

Would it be a top producer? Of course not.

So big companies aren't going to risk losing or upsetting customers over a product that only sells a little. Simple as that.

They paid me only food and travel to England to have me model for those Fauns/Satyrs.
It was an honorary thing.

I see they sculpted certain parts on a 1:1 scale.
