Not For the Size Queens...


I randomly stumbled upon these figures while googling reference for a painting I'm working on. These are done by Foundry Miniatures and, being gaming miniatures, are only 28mm tall (a little over an inch.)
They have a few sets featuring nudes (both male and female) amongst the vast array of figurines they have available. Some of the Greek Mythology sets show some skin, and if you do a "naked" search on the site you'll get another selection. There may be more, a lot of the "Historical" categories break down into further sub-categories. A knowledge of what cultures and armies generally played as "skins" might help.

2 Guys, 6 Armpits


Jazwares recent Mortal Kombat line has had a couple shirtless dudes in a variety of sizes. This is the set I've been eyeing, I think they'd make a fun addition to my collection.

The Ol' Movie Theater Popcorn Trick...


This is Popcorn from Yum Yum. I have no idea what his story is.
He was released earlier this year by the London based Yum Yum and is still available at their store along with 4 other characters.
Their website and animations are a lot of fun, worth checking out!

Mostly Shirtless


This figure intrigues me, as there were plenty of instances where Shane was fully clothed in the series, yet they decided to base the figure on a moment when he was showing a little more skin. For female characters, this is a no brainer - "Is there a scene where she was in her underwear or a bathing suit? 'Cause we'll do that version first!" But the males rarely seem to get that treatment... where's my "Gym Training" Duke from the first G.I.JOE movie, Hasbro?

Tom of Finland's Rebel


I first heard about this one about 6 months ago, but it's been around for nearly 10 years. Based on the artwork of Tom of Finland, this guy's a 13-incher, can achieve lots of different positions, is strippable, and includes a variety of dicks to fit your mood.
It seems Rebel was hoped to be the first of a series (it's often notated as 001 Rebel) but for whatever reason this is the only one that made it out. Which is a shame, a whole line of figures this detailed with a variety of looks and body types would be a lot of fun. Of course, then we'd need playsets... the bar/club, the gym (with interconnectable locker room (sold separately)), that "special" area of the park...

Medically, it Makes More Sense to Leave Your Underwear On

If you're going to sell your hero in his underwear, make sure he has some sort of medical tank he can be suspended in.


... or at least bondage equipment...
