Because Takara is convinced that men want to play with figures like this.

Stormrider's probably got a point. Takara will strip 'em down to their knickers, camel-toe 'em, give them scared facial expression and bondage accessories and a giant robot slave master. Rapemasters FTW.

That's not exactly what I meant. I meant that Takara is targeting men that collect female figurines. There are a variety of reasons why they collect them. I'm not arguing against your points, however let's not let the graphic descriptions get out of hand. Remember we have young ones reading these boards sometimes.
