>>514348I feel like another contributing factor has to do with shilouette; Sonico was basically patient zero for the lymphedema fetish that corrupted 99% of scrotaku recently, and the subjugation and objectification of women allows for their entire bodies to be sexualized and exaggerated without any cognition from moids just how depraved what they’re consuming is, while the male body is basically an entirely desexualized field (there’s no equivalent of Zettai Ryoiki, tit measuring contests, panchira etc for moids), and any appreciation or exaggeration of their features easily nosedives into appealing to faggotry. Nonnas, what male body parts / body types would you be more interested in seeing emphasized or exaggerated for character designs?

I want to see as many mascots of video game companies as possible added to Smash Bros, but most Western video game characters are ugly as fuck. I would say that Rayman is fine as the mascot of Ubisoft but I'm pretty sure that the RABBIDS (who are absolutely hideous) are more of a mascot for Ubisoft at this point.

>>514151>Naitou-kun's artist drew SonicoAgree she looks pretty and more mature here. Still got her breasts, butt, and thighs but they aren't as exaggerated as Tsuji Santa's where they all look glossy and about to burst. Thinking of it, Tsuji Santa never drew Naitou-kun which of course coomshit moids can't draw handsome men for shit. Bet he would draw him ugly given that his art style has gotten a lot worse.
>>514348Fair enough. I always thought Aoba more as Nitro+CHiRAL's mascot than Naitou-kun since him and his game are well known and that his blue contrasts well with Sonico's pink/pastel. Though I think Naitou-kun's "boring" design was kinda intentional because just like Sonico, you have this blank personality-less character that can be dolled up in all kinds of outfits and themes yet still find them recognizable like the headphones they always wear. Might seem like weak point but I think Naitou-kun would still rock on that same outfit and aesthetics like Aoba and so much more. He just needs more art and clothing designs. Something like Miku where she could be anything and drawn in many different art styles yet still recognizable because of her hair. Maybe I'm just a bit bias here since I do find Naitou-kun's design more appealing with his white/lighter colors along with his headphones that simply looks good all together.

>>514507The problem is that Naito's normal design is boring itself, say whatever about sonico but boobs aside her design is cute and colorful. Naito is just a guy in jeans and a tshirt, it has 0 personality. Sonico has a lot of figures with her original outfit because it's insanely marketeable. Sonico is unironically a really good mascot, she manages to be a popular with men thanks to being a titty coom monsters and appealing to women thanks to the pastel soft colors and some of the outfits. Make super sonico a redhead and make her outfits any color other than pink, like the creatures from raimanin or senra kagura, and she would be a dime a dozen forgotten mascot only moids care about. How long will it take companies to realize women like cute pastel stuff? just make a cute pastel bishie and make millions simple as.

>>514914These figures look flocked, you could basically just Google ‘how to clean flocked figures’ or look specifically for information from collectors of popular flocked toys like Sylvanian Families, picrel is an article from dollhouseaccesories.com that you could Google for more specific information like how to clean lint, here’s some tips from the article.
> Alyssa: I always clean my Sylvanian figures with a soft-bristled toothbrush. It does good job of cleaning off the lint without damaging the flocking. If they need to be washed, use a gentle detergent (or even a baby wash) and rinse off with cold water.> Fiona: Gently rinsing won’t hurt your Sylvanians “fur”, but rubbing can remove their flocking, so avoid doing this. I gently wrap in a soft towel to soak up most of the water and then leave the figure to air dry. It’s really important to leave it for a day at least until completely dry, otherwise putting figures away when damp could cause them to mould.>on removing lint specifically Patricia: Sometimes I use a lint roller on my daughters critters. It’s great for getting off the lint that sticks to them and any surface dirt off.
Good luck on restoring your old toys nonna! I love flocked figures.
