Fictional Colombian Drug Lord Gets His Own Webcomic
When we were kids, toys were all about inspiring creativity and childlike wonder. These days, some toys inspire different kinds of feelings ... tingly feelings. While we're ashamed to admit our strange attraction to hunks of plastic, some of the toys we've collected here seem designed to elicit such shameful desires.
What happened to sturdy, sexless Shera or the modestly dressed pink Power Ranger? Sure, Cheetara was sexy, but she had some self-respect. While we certainly appreciate the following toys on an aesthetic level, we can't help but wonder if toys have actually gotten too hot.
Check out a few of the more ... intriguing toys and action figures that we found. What do you think? Can toys actually be too sexy?

Honestly, that Lara Croft toy they used for the photo, and other figures like it are probably marketed much more to fanboys (and girls) at sci-fi and anime conventions than to any actual children. I have an action figure from Japan that actually says on the box it is not for children under 12!

these toys weren't designed for kids... they were designed for the 30 year old geeks. and most of these toys are from video games. don't know if you're aware of this but adults play games too.

ok honestly people
its a doll, and think of it this way, kids arent going to really care, its a doll their just going to play with it
and another point, why has no one complained about their kids playing with barbies? i mean HELLO! they completely undress them. my sister takes he barbie doll, and plays with it naked because she doesnt like putting the clothes on it because its too hard to do

Yes, I think they are. toys are meant to occupy children when they have nothing else to do. So for these action figures to be so graphic is not what it should be. These action figures should have a sensible about of show-able skin, no more than you would want you 13 year old daughter going out with. I mean think of it like that. You can not possibly over look the fact that your son or daughter is playing with dolls that are exploited and almost nude. What i have to say to these companies is your market is children not adults and that is the way it needs to stay. Stay appropriate and have a sense of the age the dolls are being targeted to and be mindful.

I agree that these are not "TOYS" but collectables. I have 5 grandchildren, boys and girls, and I would not buy one of these items for one of my grandchildren. They are collectables not toys.

Actually these are adult collectibles, not in a nasty way, but they are action figures meant to be set on someone's mantel to be enjoyed, not for children.
Second, besides the tomb raider figurine they're anime, there's bound to be big boobs somewhere :|

OK, these are NOT toys, they are collectables. I forgot which company, but there is one, that creates and sells collectables of famous female videogame characters. GameInformer magazine advertized them. For fifty bucks apeice, you could get any of these: Catwoman, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, and two versions of Supergirl.
As you may know, Wonder Woman only wears a leotard. So does Poison Ivy.
As for the assassin, Ivy, (from the SC series) wears even skimpier clothes than that! If you play SC2, you'll see that there is a choice of two outfits for her, a red leotard, and a bit of black leather straps and netting.
I hope you read my rant.

Is there any sort of logic that was being used when this article was made? Girl toys are pretty subliminal, corruptive, and stereotypical what with the bratz dolls the barbie dolls and a handful of play sets that only suggest a girl's place is in the kitchen making some dude a sandwich. And with boy toys. Well if I was seven and saw that Lara croft or whatever sexy type toy and a master chief with warthog and covenant action figures. Well the choice is obvious. And what's this malarkey about toys giving children creativity and childlike wonder? Unless of course you mean use action figures to beat up other action figures. Pretend to have war with stuff that isn't toys. And of course imprisoning sisters toys to destroy them for self amusement.
Not that toys mean much to children like they used to. Video games are all the rage now. And toys break faster than an old man's back.

When i was a little girl, i remember thinking my dolls were beautiful because of the way i dressed them. I thought the poofy dresses were the prettiest, small cocktail dress were cute too. Whats happened? I'm only 23. Not much time has gone by, and barbies are supposed to pretty. NOT sexy. What comes after this?

there is a difference between "toys" and "collectables". The pictures shown above are not infact, toys, they are collectables for older people who enjoy the movie, videogame, ect. A "toy" is an object, often a small representation of something familiar, as an animal or person, for children or others to play with; plaything. Now honestly people, would a child be watching movies like "tomb raider" or playing the videogame that was mentioned above? Seriously, there is a significant difference.

You folks are all missing the point. No one said they want to have sex with the action figures. We're just saying the dolls don't need to resemble the "ladies of the night" that you might see on a city street corner

Manufacturers are trying these toys on the American market seeing people will buy anything regardless of how creepy. Anotomically correct dolls are nothing new, dolls that cry, wet, talk and even crap have been around for decades. The next step will be sex dolls that have their own sex accessories like strap on dildos and vibrators. Trying to hide big breasted dolls make no sense when living, life sized examples are everywhere, including many kid's own mothers. American's fascination with boobs, which are intended to be feeding glands for babies, is in itself very sick. People tend to be very immature regarding sexual suggestion, but shy away from overt acts of sex as perverted. Go figure!

Eric has a point, most of those figures are collectables, and the comment about the whip for ivy came from somone who probably never played the damn game. its a game, almost all game and movies are about violence, and sex. why the hell would you throw japanese collectible into a childs price range? if you gonna complain about somthing, know what your complaining about. kinda like going to a police station and complaining there are cops everywhere...
"damn ivy is hot 0_0"
tomb rader chick looks like a man, sexy? i think not.
