Kingdom Death Plastic Pinups

[energongoodie]

I love this KD stuff ...sorry

[SaveModifier]

Although I really liked the look of the base game and expansions, the pin ups turned me off the whole KD kickstarter and I can't pledge now, most of my friends pledged and avoided the pin ups but i just don't feel comfortable supporting the company that makes those

Oh look, another toy for fat guys to get off in their mother's basements.

Mind you the stuff on their website that is sold out looks pretty nice.

I used to like some of their stuff, it was creepy in a supernatural horror kind of way. Now it's mostly just 3d porn for fanboys. The pin ups at least, the regular range has a bit more going for it. Still creepy, though, just in an entirely different way.

I've never liked knocked knee poses. It looks silly. Plus, in terms of overall proportions, I think the lower bodies look a little too puffed up in relation to the upper bodies. Though I have seen that body type in real life before.

Kingdom Death already makes the best female miniatures on the planet. Period. No contest. I can't believe how good their plastic looks. Simply stunning. (throws money at screen)

Odd, my girlfriend loves them. Guess it's just a matter of taste.

I don't hate women, and I don't masturbate while looking at hyper-sexualized 28mm models... yet, I like what I'm seeing here. The lantern festival pinup, especially. Her proportions are larger, more realistic; and she's portrayed as being traditionally attractive rather than some sort of gluttonous freak. That's pretty progressive for this industry, imo.

Progress does not come in a neat little finished package... it comes in steps. This is one.
Remember: the perfect is the enemy of the good.

Edit to add: the sculpt quality is awesome on these. I can't wait to see them in person.

Interesting. So the toys you play with in your parents basement are ok? Just not the ones that threaten your manhood?

If this stuff offends you then I'm guessing more than you know.

Let me just point out a couple of ways these attitudes are EXTREMELY childish...

1 - If most of you walked into a museum, or a park and found something like this in stone, and over 4 ft tall, it would be beautiful art.

2 - It's extremely mysoginistic to assume women can't be proud of their bodies, and that we as human beings can't celebrate who we are through our art. The human body, both male and female has been the subject of art for time immemorial, unabashadly and unashamed.

3 - I'm willing to bet those most vehemently opposed don't have an issue when their sitting in front of their monitors watching the porn that can be found all over the web.

4 - I personally know a slew of women who are in the pinup world, from models to photographers to makeup artists. They all very much enjoy what they do and they do it to celebrate their feminism, and their bodies. These women love who they are.

Don't let twisted western/christian mores trick you into believing the human form is bad, or wrong in anyway, and that showing it in art is pornography. If you can't see the art in this sort of thing then you have a serious ton of growing up to do.

When I first saw these my thought was 'wow, awesome sculpting'. My second was 'nice to see they aren't the typical rail thin form our modern society insist women need to look like to be beautiful. I think the individual who sculpted these loves the female form and did them service in his or her sculpts.

Keep in mind the entire range is hyper sexualized. Ironic when folks like eldergal say they enjoy everything else but these...
