This is so dumb
Why is it that every female figure has to be half naked either with her boobs or butt hanging out can we get a series of female figures that are dressed normally?
This is really a waste of a figure and that ATV

^^Ditto^^

Couldn't agree more. About as useful as the naked sniper on the Srtyker hatch.

They'll sell, whether you like 'em, or not.

Why do people get so upset over stuff like this? (Or simply stuff YOU don't want for that matter?) Don't buy it.

If anyone has ever run their own company, at some point you'll want to make more money. Yes, Alexandria, that's how capitalism works. You take a chance, develop a new product, and it sells. Or it doesn't.

Personally, I wish Live Resin well. They're a great company that offers a lot of cool stuff, and MAYBE (use that brain housing group) a little extra capital helps them keep bringing us stuff.

I make custom parts for the SOCOM community. And if tomorrow I discovered putting "mudflap girl" on points covers sold, I'd probably start doing that as well. But to keep with the SOCOM theme she'd have to be holding an AR. Hey, maybe I'm on to something...

I'm sorry, but I don't agree. This kind of exploitation of the female body is degrading and out of place.

At best, it should be advertized on adult sites, not here on Armorama.

Live resin among other companies do a lot of these kinds of figures. I know because I just bought a pile.

But he's right. These sort of figures have a place and it really isn't armorama. A figure site maybe. I don't exactly see advertisements for Girls Und Panzer figures here nor would I expect to. So these ladies are in dubious taste for this venue.

At least until I do my PTO tank with a crew of topless women because I could find them, but not a proper PTO tank crew.

I agree that it's silly and slightly distracting for the company but hey who am I to argue with something that helps their bottom line? I won't buy them but anyone who wants to is welcome to do so. Doesn't diminish how silly they are.

Good for them, making more use of allready existing ATV product line. Girls are pretty, girls ride ATVs What is the issue again. Maybe a bit pose heavy for the add but really. There is nothing pornographic about a 2 inch tall figure of a girl.

Unless you're gonna have a dio/vignette at the beach, camping, or hanging around Lughead's garage, these are pretty useless.

I was thinking the same thing. They look manly and not so classy.
Sex sells I suppose.

I don't recall seeing too many beauty queens in the service.

Odd that there were no comments when this was posted in the live-resin thread 03 March and again 04 March. Yet, when it’s in the news... personally, I don’t care for these figures and will not be buying them. Now, if any of Live-resin figures with beards and guns were done in 1/16, I’d buy the lot. Enough said.

Aren’t they based off of a Russian girl? You’re not dating them, you know.

Most of that homely, manly, classless look is that this is a grey scale computer render without eyes, eye brows or any color.

Sometimes I wonder who makes the decision to do these kind of things... then again, I do not need to buy it...

This is really a waste of a figure and that ATV



First of all, LIVE RESIN makes pretty awesome stuff- It is THEIR OWN prerogative of whatever they choose to make.

Second, these girls are NOT ugly or mannish in their execution. Ever look at many of the female Hollywood stars WITHOUT their makeup on? DROP-DEAD UGLY, if you ask me, which probably none of you will anyway.

Third, the fact that these girls are scantily-clad makes for some interesting subject-matter for dedicated figure-painters who aren't stuck in ONE genre, as some of YOU GUYS obviously are. You need to broaden your horizons. Many of you will have no qualms over the releases of perfectly-chiseled "Hollywood-type" SS figures, so WHAT is your problem with these girls? Go ahead and "down" me all you want; I have a thick skin. I have MY OWN opinions and have never followed a "herd". Ever pay attention to some of those Californian and Floridian beaches where the hot-looking girls are only clad in what amounts to two Band-Aids and a hockey puck..? IMO, these girls are definitely "EYE CANDY"...

I live in an area where unfortunately, A LOT of the girls are downright HOMELY, OVERWEIGHT and SLOVENLY in their appearance. As far as their choice of apparel is concerned, THEY look like walking garbage bags. Lady Gaga has nothing on them. They don't seem to give a damn about what they look like. The men are no better. THAT'S what happens in depressed, rural areas all over the United States. And WHAT exactly, constitutes "normal clothing", ESPECIALLY if the girl in question has a "hot" body? Most girls in great physical shape will want to flaunt their "assets"...

I enjoy assembling, painting and detailing ALL kinds of figurines, so I DO NOT see these new figures from LIVE RESIN as being "entirely useless"! You MAY want to think about these figurines in a "civilian context", and not as "Panzer Girls", some of which are just as scantily clad as these little cuties are...

Have you ever considered that the idea behind these girl figures just might PRECISELY be for that beach, camping or hanging around Lughead's garage dio..? Not everyone is stuck in that "strictly-military thing", you know... Ergo, these figures are not "useless"...

So Mario posted these LIVE RESIN girls on ARMORAMA... So WHAT? Don't like 'em, don't buy 'em. You don't need to diss 'em, just because they aren't "military-regulation warthog-ugly"...

WOW, quite the set of responses ! I agree with Robert Skipper. Capitalism, if people don't buy it they'll stop making it, simple.
I think that the should scale up to 1/24 or 1/25th, the model car scale. There would be all sorts of "muddin'" diorama opportunities with pick up trucks & such. All they would need now are a couple of Bubba type figures, some to scale cases of beer.
My 2 cents worth.....

"Capitalism" is what makes the world go round and round, in case some of haven't noticed. Yes, and sex DOES SELL. Ever watch TV, lately..? I like these figures, and I'll probably buy a few of 'em, PLUS the ATVs to go with them. I'll also say that these figures and ATVs would be nice in 1/24 or 1/25 scale... Maybe a few "biker" girls long with various bikes would be nice, as well...

Pin-up girls and military hardware have been a thing for decades.

Relax guys!

And as for the comment about being degrading to women...have you seen what girls these days post on their Instagram accounts? This is vert tame.
