Maybe I have just enough decency and social life to just not understand, but as I browse around for anime figures, I find a large number of lingerie, mostly naked, and stark naked figures with really high price points.

As someone who occasionally has friends and my parents visit my home, I can't fathom using these as decor. The sculpts appear to be really high quality, so I understand the price, I just don't understand the customer. If you want masturbatory material, there are many, MANY cheaper options, so... why? Why purchase such expensive and cursed items?

Well, I don't. I just don't see the point of doing so. I would rather buy some "normal" ones instead.

I don't buy such figures, or figures in general, because of money.

As to why someone would buy erotic figures, it's obvious. It's just a combination of love for erotism, figures, and usually the characters in question.

Perhaps for the same reason as some people buy +18 posters etc. And from what I know these are not materials for "fap" content.

I don't buy any figurines as they're expensive and I ain't having money for such stuff.

I haven't but why should my spending habits be dictated by judgmental people? You could argue similar things for anything. I think the appeal is that the sexiness or eroticism or cuteness or just indifferent to it but like the character just brings a little bit of joy to them. Also a physical object you can see in 3 dimensions and touch it so clearly it has a different appeal than a 2D image on a screen even in cases of same intent.

@traed Yeah, the same thing has happened to me for so many times. Annoying as hell.

I don't buy figurines at all. There's no anime merch in my room anymore unlike in my teens

But I do want to get a plush or two someday

There was a renovation that happened in the house and in the midst of cleaning they got thrown away :(

It was sad but I was at the age where I have very little attachment to them and just had to accept they were gone

Lewd stuff in your living place is like garlic protection against feminists, woke culture and its individuals.

You shouldn't invite or be with the type of people who hate healthy, normal, straight stuff.

@Exhumatika Hey, shame about nudity has been around for as long as potentially the 8th day of Earth, depending on whose books and interpretation you believe.

You should only be ashamed and concerned about doing something that is actually bad. (common knowledge)

Yet One More Reason why i happen to prefer Dolls over Figures; they can be just about as "Lewd" or as Chaste as you wish them to be;

Adults with a lot of disposable income.

I mean, you could get good with a 3d printer hobby, you prolly still need somebody to paint it for you.

I don't understand the appeal of figurines to begin with.
Actually I don't even have decoration in my house.

I don't know, why do people like any erotic art? Some are in love with the character, maybe they enjoy the controversy (be it hidden away, the feeling that someone might find it or in plain view to make others feel uncomfortable), supporting an artist, obsessive collecting, interested in the otaku aesthetic, or they just genuinely like the look of the figures for various reasons.

Personally, I am more interested in Bionicles.

I have a couple figures in swimsuits, but nothing like that. I'm sure my boomer parents hate them. I pose some of them with model cars that was a unique idea I had.

I have one of Shamsiel that the bikini she wears is removable but I never removed it since I was afraid it would break and she looks better with the stuff on.
I noticed figures have become basically a 3D porn hobby; it didn't used to be like that in 2019-21 when I bought mine.

OFT I was in a major mall in my state this weekend and they actually have an anime store. I was so excited to see one finally- it was full of figures. And... they were all really cheap $20-$40 crappy figures mostly from One Piece or Pokemon. They also had plushies of the same, and tons of those horrible bobble-head things. The only nice figures I saw worth buying were two Miku's, one she was a mermaid. Only a $40 figure still. I felt so l33t being in there, like I have a $300 Meltryllis figure on my shelf!
