In this case, I think it was Sdink first that made everyone want one, though she isn't the one that started the super faggy scene kid drag look. I think that might have been Soft Poison? That or hers is the first tattooed, crazy colored haired version I remember.
Anywho, for me, it was the moment I saw Dia, even as a female sculpt, that I wanted it as a boy. I got it because it reminded me of a certain male model I really liked. I made this photoshop side by side like, the week Dia came out. Its just a happy coincidence that they actually began to offer it as a boy. When I ordered it, you still had to make the request in the order comments and pay the extra difference between the girl and boy cost. I think shortly after I ordered it they began to offer it as a boy in a drop down menu or something.
