I have a friend who is bothered by the fact that it's really hard to find male figures. I guess he would like the Kinikuman figure you've got there, and he also like those crazily expensive Berserk figures too.

My only male figure is Kagamine Len Nendo... lol and I won't be collecting male figure unless there is a special case, like this Rin & Len pairing... xD

Male figures are not MOE so I only buy female figures... xD

The world needs more male figures. I only have 3 and they're trading figures. :< As much as I love cute girls I want some cute dudes too.

I wouldn't mind getting the Max Factory Kiritsugu Emiya, but that won't work unless if I get Zero Saber as well...Saving up is hard.

On the topic of figures, I wouldn't mind some of the DC Comic WoW action figures, even though they're not anime figures and I stopped playing WoW some of them still look cool enough for me to want. I'd have bought the new Blood Elf Paladin if the face

Male figures ftw. The figure-making world must be real male-dominated if all they ever figgify is the females. The only male figs I seriously knew existed were the various Pokémon Satoshi ones, the Takeshis and Kojiros from same, and the Final Fantasy ones.

Kamina action figure WANT. I don't mind male figures and I think there should be more on the market, it's kind of stupid that there are so few, but it makes sense as most guys don't want them. I'd only get a male figure if the character is really cool and one that I like, so far I only have Len Kagamine, though I do plan on figma Lelouche one of these days. I agree there needs to be a Simon

@ K -The demographic is primarily male. Typically men (ESPECIALLY men in Japan) don't buy male figures. I read an article once where a Figure Company representative commented on this difference in Japan and the US. Figures of manly men sell real well in the US but not Japan. The article was in one of my anime anime magazines and I can't remember which (Newtype USA, Anime Insider, or Protoculture

I know what you mean, like those Berserk figures selling more than 300USD. . .

I got mostly Taguinu no Chi figures, my recent male figures I just got were Sebastian & his master, Ciel, from Kuroshitsuji.

2008-12-01T04:45:46.235-05:00

There isn't many male figures I own. In male figure wise...I have around 5 male figures...
Usually people collect female figures since most figures in the market are female characters...since most of the people who collect figures are males...there are female collectors, it's just that there isn't many male figures out there...

2008-12-01T03:35:59.112-05:00

I've got a few male figures; Kamina, Lelouch, Suzaku, Kyon, (do figmas really count?) Kaneda from Akira, Jun Planning's Huge Ryuk, Kotobukiya's Shinji/Kawrou set, GunXSword's Van, and Cowboy bebop's spike. But i agree male figures are few and far in between. it's not so much that the figure companies won't make a profit even though that is a reason why, but also that a guy is more willing to buy

i do want the kamina figure but then again, not only is he hard to get, he's freaking expensive too. >.<
