I could see where it would come in handy if you were customizing Nova from PotA or something and didn't want visible joints. Anytime knee, elbow, or wrist joints are visible, it's distracting for some customisers that are shooting for ultra realism. The best thing I've been able to pull off w/ a guy character is using a Jakks 1/6 Triple H figure for Conan and hiding the wrist and shoulder joints with the costuming. Tarzan would be pretty much impossible, I reckon.
As far as the nudity goes, that's nothing compared to those Playboy dolls from a few years back. I used to see the Karen McDougal in antique malls all the time, but not so much any more. They were a bit extreme, IMO.

Yeah, the Triad Toys Dejah Thoris and John Carter are two examples of figures that to me are impressive and well-done; yet, ruined by overly visible joints. Their Zorro looks immaculate, however.
Looks to me like it is really just an metal armature type set up similar to some of Volks stuff. It is a little creepy.

You know what? I can already tell that I don't like you. And I'm probably not gonna like you no matter how many pull-ups or push-ups you do. All right, anybody who wants to pick on anybody in class, aim for him, 'cause I'm not watchin'. -Kenny Powers
Hey, c'mon guys and girls, it's just a naked woman.
Nothing creepy about it.
I have always hated bare-armed female figures with highly visible joints, and this is just perfect. The only reason they show them naked, is to show how lifelike they are.
I didn't buy the Hot Toys Vasquez just because her arms looked like robot arms.
There will always be pervs that buy these for kicks, but hey, they might also buy My Little Pony for kicks.
I, for one, always appreciate the beauty of the female form.
These truly are, Hot Toys, and for the serious collector, not aimed at the general toy market.

Right! Hot Toys are also doing the rubber skin on the Male bodies now to hide the joints. For figures like Bruce Lee with no shirt on.
