Bit of a morbid line of merchandise to dissect the characters you like, no?

Not just that, but there’s something about it only being female characters that doesn’t sit right with me… |

Yeah, that's what seems off to me, too. |

To be fair, this isn't Mighty Jaxx's first set of releases. They've already released ones with the standard cast, a Chopper set, a Warlord set, etc. So this isn't really a case of sexism, it's "the girls are popular so let's release a set of them this time".
They've also done these releases for Garfield, Minions, Care Bears, My Little Ponyetc. I personally don't see the appeal in these toys, but I think you guys are seeing issues where there aren't any. |

Same. Very offputting. |

I'm not a fan either, but the guy that makes these, Jason Freeny, has been making these anatomy figures since long before Mighty Jaxx started so somebody is buying them. Emerje |

Oh yeah, absolutely. They definitely have fans considering not only the amount of them but the fact they were able to convince the assorted stakeholders to let them use their IPs. I suppose there's something amusing about seeing Minion or My Litttle Pony anatomy. |
