Do action figures give boys body image issues (like Barbie does for girls)?

Do action figures give boys body image issues (like Barbie does for girls)?

Should action figures have to (by law) depict realistic bodies?

No, it inspires us.

lol no, I'm a man

This.

Hmm, I'm actually more interested in this figure, is it a recent issue? I saved all my motu action figures from when I was a kid and recently gave them to my own kid but it would be nice if they were more poseable. Is this still being sold and is it a durable kid's toy or is it a fucking idiotic fragile thing for adult children?

no.
neither barbie, nor action figures, cause body issues in children.
shitty parenting causes body issues in children.

2nd

first time i ever thought about it,

i agree with first poster below op.

that body inspires men. We aren't fucking pussified and bitchy like women.

They are action figures because they are special, not because they are normie.

wow great thread OP

Should OP have to (by law) catch these fists?

>punches so lightly
Yet the punch was heavy and knocked you out.

There's nothing wrong with putting an idealistic image like this out there as an ideal to strive towards, the problem is when society expects men in general to be able to meet this. If it's just out there as a fantasy-idea and everyone is AWARE that it's a fantasy idea, an ideal, there's no problem. As soon as people start expecting it but there is no realistic means to achieve it, that's pretty much where the problems arise. This is true for men and women. Truth be told though, Barbie's body isn't that unachievable if you just go on a diet and try to stay thin, this is basically genetically impossible without steroids.

Fpbp

Czeched, confirmed.
By the power of Greyskull, goodnight, OP

Who cares. Toys R us is bankrupt and the star wars franchise is dead. No one cares about action figures anymore. It's the end of an era.

Fpbp, boys need heroes. Why do you think all the mythological heroes thought up thousands of years ago were jacked?

I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!

And knowing is half the battle!

fibip

More than meets the eye!

TRU failed to adapt, and Disney raped Star Wars so hard even hardcore fans find it hard to defend it these days.

No, because we're not crabs in a bucket

This.

The fact that the modern day "man" loathe self-improvement is absolutely disgusting.

>realistic
all superhero action figures are depicted as 8 heads tall and 2/3 heads wide shoulders. in some instances even 9 head tall.
>pic related nothing has been realistic body standards since the iron age times

Those shits were an adult collector line.

Should have used superhero movie crap instead.

You are going to pay out the ass for one online.

They are over priced as hell. Search on eBay for masters of the universe classics. You will see.

Please stop being a faggot OP.

How Abs...

Yes, I hate that I can't look like a Ninja Turtle. My parents lied when they said I could be whatever I want to be.
