Claiming it's manufactured outrage is a rather disrespectful and rude statement. Lack of representation and objectification of women is a real world problem that has various consequences. One of those consequences is that seeing things that remind people of said problem (no matter how naive or unintended it is) causes them to feel uncomfortable and upset. I can see the argument that maybe said outrage is being directed in a misguided direction but the claim that what might be a genuine reaction is manufactured is something that is primed to instigate flame wars. Anyways we were warned once to not discuss this. I don't think we'll be warned twice. I suggest we drop this and realize that yes pp likes pretty ladies and they can't be forced to change their stance but some of us as customers (or patrons to their "arts") would really like it if they came out with some bishi pretty boy exclusives as well. NO need to start a flame war Indeed. While I do agree that the topic of representation is a worthy one, let's make another thread (which I am sure will remain civil and rational) and keep this one about the sculpt/model itself.

I wouldn't mind the pose of the model, except that she is stood on her tiptoes for no apparent reason which really annoys me! If she was stood on flat heels she would give off a kind of resident evil 4 vendor vibe + cuteness.
Doesn't seem unnecessarily vulgar, either in pose of clothing, which I like. Just a nice looking figure which I would 100% be able to get behind if it wasn't for those damn tiptoes.
My wife sometimes sits down and paints with me but always complains there aren't enough attractive female models to paint in my merc army - she enjoyed painting Sam MacHorne for instance - so she would love a model like this, I think. (Assuming this is a straight replacement for Reinholdt)
