im female and i own alot of anime statues with big boobs, not brought by my husband but me, big deal? i own some of these statues i think there eye catching. i dont find anything sexist about them, what i do find sexist is how theres so many cool mens comic book clothing out there but us girls get a load of crap but no one mentions that.

besides isnt there a batman ame comi now? maybe theyll even the score and give him a big package.

By the way, there is a newer version of Powergirl that looks better than the one pictured above.

I don’t like anything that degrades women, but you’re talking about plastic statues here! I love anime and comic book characters and so I love these figures! The only thing I see as objectionable is the skimpy outfits that some of them are wearing. But I actually think their all really cute (well, I don’t really care for cat women, ivy, or panthera whatever her name is.) I actually think the more realistic statue/figures are more “offensive”, but as long as I’m not forced to buy them I don’t care. I also don’t like the nude/hentai anime statues, but it’s the same deal as with the realistic statues.

Overall, I’m a girl and I love these figures! You’d have to be extremely sensitive to really be bothered by these figures. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BUY THEM NOR ARE THEY THE REASON FOR THE TERRIBLE ACTS TOWARDS WOMEN!

P.s. My favorites are Batgirl, Super Girl, and Harley Quinn.

This “doll” just doesn’t say Powergirl to me, but then again I’m really not a manga fan.

Vincent,

You’re black?

OMG! Get off of my side! You’re making us look bad! I’m not even going to get into the ‘unwashed and uncivilized’ as a passive-aggressive jab at Caucasians and those with white privilege while you’re lording your male privilege and demanding people accept your pov as right.

Just… get off my side.

The last time I checked, feminism was about anything and everything that touched upon women and how they’re perceived by women and men. No one can or should try to tell other people what feminism is about–and feminism is a living concern, not something that’s been won.

Throwing around terms like “burqa”, “stoning,” and “Abrahamic faiths” looks to me like an attempt to relegate a social and political movement to the “nutty religious corner.” And what possible meaning can your race have to a discussion about dolls?

You may have issues with feminism. But that doesn’t give you the right to dismiss it, or to tell others they have no right to consider things in light of feminism. And until you get the beatings with the steel cable, are locked in rooms in which the windows are bars most of the day, are forbidden books and education, and are slaughtered by your relatives if someone outside your household looks at you in a way you don’t like, maybe the word “burqa” isn’t the right one to use.

I think that it’s not creepy (especially considering that the real power girl is drawn with breast just as big, if not bigger). I do think it’s odd to look at these characters as peppy anime girls. Also, they look like they came straight out of a “magical girl” series.

Still, I think they’re a cool interpretation, especially Batgirl.

BTW, Cutey Honey is all woman. Well, female android.

Alan, thanx. Leave your message board alone for a few months and the busybodies on the web find all kinds of neat trouble to get into.

Alan, I think they are, but there are “transformations” into super mode or something like that and then she looks like, well, a lot like these DC figures. To be honest, I’ve never seen an episode of Cutey Honey, so I’m kind of going off what my friend tells me. She loves the character. *shrug*

Mr. Moore—
You should clean up your site.

I was under the impression that the Cutey Honey characters were supposed to be 14-year-old girls.

Dear Lea:
1) Looked up Godwin’s Law. All I get from the definition is that by comparing feminism to radical Islam I effectively robbed my comparison of its intended impact. But not its full meaning. Radical restrictive behaviors should not be part of the feminist mindset yet are. So the difference is of degree not of kind.
2) The Vincent Variation. Sounds great to me. Go for it. Just make sure to link people back to my website. Your attempt to shame me falls upon deaf ears; 12 years of Catholic school couldn’t do it and neither can you. (Aren’t shame and guilt the preferred weapons of the Abrahamic faiths?) Plus being a black man means I used to being considered unwashed and uncivilized. I know of your issues with the ‘mainstream’ comics industry and bare you no ill will. Yet this tactic you tried to apply goes to prove my point. Since I am not conforming to the tempo of the conversation at hand, I have to be punished and restricted and made to be ashamed of myself in public. Is this a fitting for my burqa?
3) And as long the attitudes of those against these dolls (Dolls, for goodness sake; they are not the end of the world, merely toys for overgrown boys; either feminism is winning or can never win, but choose one viewpoint; playing both sides of the issue is a bad tactic, leading to only confusion; unless that’s the point) is similar to the preparations for a stoning, I don’t believe my comparison is that far off base. But I imagine when you’re the one putting the burqa on someone else rather than the one being forced to it on, it’s expected to feel sensitive about the whole thing.
4) I guess if my wife were to speak for me, that would be acceptable to you. Is that the “She’s the boss of me” Principle or the “She Who Must Be Obeyed” Principle? I didn’t hold up my wife as an example of all women, merely one I knew who expressed a counter opinion to the masses gathering to burn these dolls in effigy. Please. Your whole tone is one of anger with the nonconformist, not one of trying to establish a dialogue or to voice a dissent. Let’s talk about the topic at hand, shall we? Without the attempts at personal attack, okay?
