Bit juvenile..is there lore to this?

Another big titted women. You guys need to get out more!

It's obviously one of the gravediggers offering Yorick's skull to Hamlet. I'm sure the Hamlet figure will soon follow.

David

Come on, guys. It's a perfectly good imagining of a fantasy shaman, and very nicely 3D sculpted. (Please some mod fix the description for them, though. A "scull" is for rowing boats with, a "skull" is for keeping your brains in. )

Boobs and blades. I guess history is a bit much for some folks. I had a friend I taught to paint who went to fantasy as soon as he tried one military figure; "too many rules ". OK! The sculpt is what it is and as in keeping with the Chronos reputation, quite a well done figure. I just don't get the attraction. Aside from the obvious.

In terms of fanasty- the fantasies of boys going thru puberty usually don’t last!…anyway- it’s well sculpted and a matter of preference…it’s hardly offensive…

Love this one! Jeff

Everybody should be free to buy what they like.
I have been tempted myself by the odd near naked figure, whenever my historical interests have also been piqued ( girls wearing some Napoleonic or samurai militaria, Gladiatrix etc). I am not suggesting that Chronos should stop making these figures , I think they are beautifully sculpted, if not a bit too fond of the modern "idealised" fantasy figure of the Boris Vallejo school, but I do wish that they and other manufacturers of "pin-up" girls (Vinnie's for example) would slip in the occasional body type of average proportions.
I have a house full of Victorian prints depicting naked women (and some men!) but I would draw the line at what I would consider soft porn on my walls.
What I wonder about is this;- where do the people who buy these figures (and no criticism of them for doing so here) display them? I can't see them being in plain view for grannie to see whenever she visits. Do you have to hide them away? I can't see even the most accepting partner being completely comfortable with a cabinet full of these pneumatic types.
I'm not talking of the more "tasteful" type of figure on the market which might depict renditions of classical art , or Andrea's Elvgren models etc., but is it just single men who feel at ease with displaying these more overtly sexual figures?
If not, and if you do have a partner, I'd love to hear your views on this.

David

David-I am married 49 years..so probably limited imagination..but there is no prudishness in our household..I just find this immature..and frankly find much of mid Victorian art the same..classical art celebrated men and women..and cultural standards regarding sexuality were different..I’d critique the piece here as being impossible- no poor woman weighed down so obviously would move like that ..

Grasshopper, I think that generally we are thinking along the same lines. I don't want to get any deeper into this, although I don't agree with you about most Victorian art, and the figures, for example, produced by Golem Miniatures, which I don't personally see as juvenile; but that's all a matter of subjectivity. The only figures I think went too far were some of the more questionable vignettes produced some time ago by Tim Richards under the Mascot brand.
I share your opinion that there is a degree of immaturity in the conceptuality of Chronos's product under discussion, but maybe some immature modelers (judged by our standards) just want something they like to paint. At the end of the day I think Chronos are just playing to the "sex sells" maxim and it probably makes them money.

David

Victorians had a strange attitude towards sex..I find most depictions of the female form..and that includes Golem, altho I have purchased some..as strangely idealized..you are correct- not juvenile..just reflecting mores that tended to overromaticize and hide reality..

My last word on this Grasshopper. I agree (about art) most art is romanticized but not necessarily unrealistic. Maybe Victorian art did not reflect the shape of the majority of women at the time but there must have been some who were a match. The new romantics, Mucha used live models. It's partially the romanticism of the paintings that I like. I don't see anything wrong in aspiring or choosing to depict a pleasing form in the depiction of Mythical Gods and heroes. The same has been argued in the comics world where some think "super" heroes should be inclusive of fatter or disabled types but that doesn't work, it may help to represent the average person better, but exceptionally active people do tend to have an athletic build.

David

Will shut up- but “athletic build” is an imagined descriptor. And varies with time…

Shut up

David

Those idealistic Chronos Fanatsy figures are rare beauties. Now perhaps dozend figures are the only exiting in such a quality and especially for such a style that quality is needed. And thats very few. Today folks speaking about diversity, that most times means for them there may only exist 'one' diversity (their own), thats a paradoxon but sadly true.

Ruediger, What you say is true and I also hate modern "wokeness" for the sake of it, but isn't Chronos portraying all this range with the same "perfect" physique not equally, as you said, "only having one diversity" too?.
I agree these figures are beautifully made but I am seeing exactly the same body type in every female figure Chronos produces. It's as if it's the same girl/woman cosplaying a number of different "costumes".

David

If there would be numerous companies who make similar figures in such quality then ok, but Chronos is really the only one. but sure, perhaps a secong fitting model would be fine No really, i have seen some of those figures, they are different, but clear very similar in style.

Only one? How about these just in the fantasy genre alone?.

You show other styles and thats ok. But again, Chronos in its style is unique, also in quality for their style, also clear it is fantasy but something different to your shown. Should i criticize the violence of a halfmonster headed another monster? Those presented single figures are well made but have really a different style to Chronos with their small own range. So again those are unique, and i hope other artists will stay in their styles also unique. For me it is nearly momentary a kind of 19ct missionary thought that styles were denigrate because its opportune. Like Napoleon III who beat with his stick impressionistic arts, because he cannot understand anything. Do you want again such vile behaviour, also only in words? Would be sad and thats something here, whyever. But sure also i dont like all. But that never means what i cannot like is bad for the world and i must pray those true words to the universe. And i read here such things, nearly intollerant words very often, not reasoned by different opnions, only reasoned by lack of understanding styles. Ok my avatar shows it, i am the lonesome idealistic knight fighting injustice. It is for me something instinctive, in my blood.^^ And surely not a destroyer (that was Conan) And there is no evil in those fine Chronos models. To which 'taste' they should change their own unique style? Ok it is a kind of plea the executioner is surely already waiting (also often presented in fantasy models)
