INTEREST: Mighty Jaxx Unveils New Figurine Set of One Piece's Ladies

Bit of a morbid line of merchandise to dissect the characters you like, no?

Not just that, but there’s something about it only being female characters that doesn’t sit right with me…

Yeah, that's what seems off to me, too.

To be fair, this isn't Mighty Jaxx's first set of releases. They've already released ones with the standard cast, a Chopper set, a Warlord set, etc. So this isn't really a case of sexism, it's "the girls are popular so let's release a set of them this time".

They've also done these releases for Garfield, Minions, Care Bears, My Little Ponyetc. I personally don't see the appeal in these toys, but I think you guys are seeing issues where there aren't any.

I'm not a fan either, but the guy that makes these, Jason Freeny, has been making these anatomy figures since long before Mighty Jaxx started so somebody is buying them.
