That was the state of mind for a massive number of adult collectors in the 90s, and companies like McFarlane, Dragon Toys, BBI, and Medicom made a fortune off of them by escalating the level of detail and quality of the toy sculpts.

I like attractive female figures for the aesthetics. I don't think it's gay or perverted at all. It can be a fully-clothed figure like Edea from Final Fantasy VIII, or a barely-clothed figure like a few classic McFarlanes. A few male figures can be aesthetically pleasing too when done right.
