I have no freakin idea what you are talking about. Have never seen a custom with breasts larger than my wifes (and they are all natural) so this whole topic sounds like your wife cracked the whip.

I don't get the whole "SEXY" customs market. Don't get me wrong, I think most of the work customizers do on here is absolutely amazing, and I wish I had a fraction of that talent and imagination. But the whole "big boobed" thing is just creepy. They're toys. I think it's just kind of gross or pathetic. Maybe I read too much into it, but it seems those customs always sell for a pretty decent (high) price. I would be embarrassed for my wife to even see those. It takes away from the real customizers. I'm embarrassed for the people who buy those and, most of all, for the people that make those. (Especially that one guy who makes the naked ones).
Believe me, I love hot girls as much (more) then the next guy. But only REAL ones. I just don't get it... |

She hasn't seen them. I'm saying I would be embarrassed if she did. Kind of discredits other customs. Just my opinion. Wanted to know if others agreed/disagreed

It'd be one thing if the "sexy" customs that seem so prevalent were done well, but it's like these guys spent 20 minutes of "research" at a strip club and went to work with the sculpy. Gravity-defying orbs of 1:18 plastic tackiness...

I think even raising the topic is an attention grab. I make a lot of female customs, and while I don't make them for purpose of sexual gratification or exploitation, I do sell them. I've also won awards for customs and recently got front paged here. But by your definition I'm not a real customizer because I have sculpted breasts or painted in flesh tones?
Over-generalize much? Do you even customize? I get that if a "sexy" figure is being made for purposes of inclusion in with a kid's collection, that is creepy (though certainly less so than your avatar and sig - way to represent on a toy/g.i. joe board btw). But beyond that, why discriminate as to such features being made in plastic? Why not also go after other forms of artistic expression and censor those as well? If you blanche at the idea of this as art, then I say you've got no basis to be talking about customs at all. Now, I will agree with you that shoddily made customs which sell for the exclusive reason of being tagged "sexy" or "nude" cheapen the customs game, and perhaps if you are singling those out, I'd be less harsh. But even then, I judge based on the quality of the work, not the sexual appeal represented by the custom. I am not so close-minded as to be "creeped" out by the existence of flesh colored paint, or the words "sexy custom". If I were close minded, I'd simply say loud mouths who find boobies offensive but who don't mind posting suicide jokes are douchebags, and not even give you a chance to prove otherwise... ;) wait...wait, I think you're starting to figure it out. It's amusing to you, but not to everyone, just like some customs are not appealing to you, but might be legitimately so to other people. So perhaps saying that such people aren't real customizers was in error...work it through, I think you'll get there...

The toys being marketed are just as "Sexy" or "Big Boobed" as the ones made by customizers... Check out Fathom(Tiny bikini), and Danger Girl(Skin tight outfit over a busty leggy babe with a great figure). The comics themselves are full of gorgeous sexy women to begin with... In fact, the average superheroine is either bikini-model gorgeous in a skimpy outfit(Like Supergirl, Power Girl, or Huntress) or wearing an outfit spray-painted over a drop-dead gorgeous body(like Storm or Dazzler). It's normal... Even E. R. Burroughs had his 1936 literary creations from mars in skimpy outfits as this illistration from one of the books shows... as have countless other authors. And on a funny note, several years back David Letterman once sent one of the actors from the soprano tv series to a toy fair, where he was shown new figures: Three were male, and one was female... She was in a skintight leg-baring outfit with big boobs and showing off a lot of cleavage. As a gag, the actor had brought along a doll he had had made of himself... and he put a twenty dollar bill in his dolls' hand and had it ask the female figure how much she charged for a tumble.

how about the plastic tits on real women. now that is effin creepy.
what does it say about our culture that women feel the need/desire to mutilate their bodies in that way? i mean chinese foot binding was real cray too, but i think the fake boob phenomenon is right up there.
