I don’t understand why Marvel Comics would give the go ahead for something like this.  Is this really how they want one of their main properties to be displayed?  All sexed up?   I was under the impression that they kind of liked Spider-Man and valued the entire Spider-Man property.  If that’s true, why resort to making Spider-Man’s wife a bare foot, thong wearing laundry tub slut?

I’m no prude.  I’m also not one to get offended.  I just think this is stupid and even a little hypocritical.  My favorite monthly Marvel comic Alias was supposedly canceled because writer Brian Michael Bendis was not allowed to use top-line Marvel characters such as Spider-Man.  Alias dealt with stories more of an adult nature in content.

Just because there are statue companies out there that make sexed up weirdo friendly Japanese anime figurines, doesn’t mean Marvel Comics needs to do it too. They should let other companies, companies not called Marvel Comics corner the creepy pervert adult figurine market.

Marvel Comics should be above this.

Ok, I’m back.  After typing the above sentence I broke out in uncontrollable laughter which resulted in me falling down, hitting my head, and blacking out.

I feel much better now.  What was I blogging about?  Oh yes, the pervert Mary Jane statue.  I’ve been reading that people have been letting both Marvel Comics and Sideshow Collectibles (the company that is making the perv statue) know what they think about this statue.  People have been leaving comments on both Marvel Comics and Sideshow Collectibles websites detailing their displeasure with this statue.  Both Marvel Comics and Sideshow Collectibles have been responding by deleting these comments.  They have allowed all the other comments to remains.  The comments left by pervy men wanting to buy this statue.

What’s Marvel Comics trying to do, attract even more weirdos to the medium of comic books?

Ragnell over at Written World blogged about someone leaving a comment on Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada’s blog asking him if he’d please write about the approval process for this figurine.  Regnell writes that two hours later, the person’s comment had been deleted.

Talk about dealing with a problem head on.

I think this statue is disrespectful.  Not only to women in general, but to one of their own intellectual properties.  So what will Marvel Comics do next, approve the making of a collectible statue showing Spider-Man putting on a condom?
