You know, the kind of attraction you dare not tell your family or friends about, or else they’ll think you’re deranged. I’m not talking about human characters, either, so as an example, here’s mine:
Seen the Hellboy movie? You know Abe Sapien? The fish guy? Yeah. I’ve got the hots for him. I have uncontrollable, perverted fantasies daily about him. I can’t help it. It’s horrible. Let’s not even go into how many photos I have on my computer and the collectible figurines I have. Oh, dear Og, help me. It’s so messed up, but it feels so gooood!
Who’s your shameful movie character desire?
Well, the character was in both the television series and the movies, so I guess he counts. Worf, the Klingon. Tall, dark, deep voice, forceful personality, I wouldn’t mind having my neck ache afterwards!
I have a small poster of him and the BPRD keychain, but whenever I try asking stores about Hellboy action figures, they always give me odd looks. It’s not exactly that shameful, because if my friends find out I can always point out that a certain percentage of them have the hots for the Phantom of the Opera.
I have a crush on Abe Sapien as well. It’s the way he moves and his voice, although I can’t seem to find any posters of him for reasonable prices.
I’m not sure if Nightcrawler is odd enough for this thread.
Try explosiontoys.com. I got my 12" Abe figure from them. They had a lot of stuff. The 12" Hellboy looks awesome, and I seem to remember it only being around $40 US. That’s what I paid for my Abe, too.
I’m sure the Dark Horse official site will have some toys, as well. Forget the local comic joint - I never had any luck finding anything at those kinds of places.
For years after “Time Bandits” was released, I had it bad for Evil. It didn’t lead to a full David Warner jones, although I like him as an actor just fine. Nope, I just really dug Evil.
I totally agree. But I don’t feel guilty about loving Aragorn. This thread asked for “embarrassing attractions,” and I’m not a bit embarrassed to admit being attracted to a brave, intelligent, magnanimous guy. It’s the weaselly misogynists like Han Solo and Indiana Jones who embarrass me, by turning me on despite my highmindedness. I guess it’s true what they say: ladies love outlaws.
