Why do most 1:6 scale manufacturers continue to produce 12-inch female figures that are unrealistic to the theme? Case in point: these latest preview pictures of VERYCOOL (VCF-2026) 1/6th scale ACU Camouflaged Female Shooter showing a rather nice female figure in military gear. On closer examination, it is revealed that she is wearing very little on top. Too little to afford her any protection from the chilly weather or other elements that she may encounter in the field. Is it because 1:6 scale figure makers feel the need to pander to the very much male dominated military figure collector market? Why not give the poor girl more clothes to put on and let the individual 12-inch figure collector decide whether he wants to keep her top on as it is or cut off some of the top to make her look more sexy (and unrealistic). I would have been on this like a heartbeat if not for the itsy bitsy tiny weeny little top. This is made all the more poignant in the same week when for the first time in military history, two women graduated from the excruciating 62-day Ranger School at Fort Benning.
VERYCOOL (VCF-2026) 1/6th scale ACU Camo Female Shooter will come with Real Like Rooted Hair Head Sculpt (looks a bit like Megan Fox, who shot to fame as Mikaela Banes in the 2007 blockbuster action film Transformers), VC 3.0 Large Bust Female Body (Soft Breasts), Sunglasses, Wrist Watch, Black Beanie Hat, Middle East Scarf, ACU Camo Shirt, ACU Camo Tactical Pants, PVC Knee Pads, Waist Belt, Military Boots, M4 Assault Rifle, M4 Grab Handle, M4 Flashlight, M4 Rifle Telescope, P226 Pistol, Pistol Mag, Pistol Holster, Climbing Buckle, Earphone + Intercom, Infantry Pack, GP Pouch, Cartridge Recycling Bag, Three Pairs of Hands and 3 Gloved Hands.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy your review. Thanks for sharing ;-)
She looks a little more like Megan Fox to me. I wish they would stop all these female figure sets like this because I'm going to run out of money if this keeps up. I to want to thank you for your blob, Alex is it. This place deals with the only scale I collect and what I can't buy I can at least look at real close.
