You are correct! And SS knows this and will keep on releasing more female characters in sexy poses! We will also discuss each statue, and will most likely purchase them. Sex sells it is basic knowledge.

Someone should alert Sideshow that pandering is a felony in California.

That is correct but Starfire is an easy pass for me.

The fun of the non slutty Starfire is that she is sexy without knowing she is.

Starfire reminds me of Ororo (Storm) when she first joined the XMen. She would swim naked and do things half dressed without thinking about it bc that was her culture and she had no idea that it was a big deal.

Truly Innocent sexy and attractiveness is refreshing. This statue is not refreshing. It’s quite the opposite for me, I find it disappointing.

Sexy is good ONLY if it is not in expense of the accurate characterization. I collect statues for the character rather than for its sex appeal.

This is why I’m sticking with the Tweeterhead version.

I have that one in PO too. That one is a perfect Starfire statue. It sucks because I also want a 1/4 scale of Starfire and this might be the only one we are getting for this scale.

I think the sculpt is fine, but it really doesn't resemble the character at all to me.

It honestly looks like they based this after some model or celebrity and they didn't even bother to change her skin tone...
