Was watching a TV show called Monsters VS Aliens and one thing that struck me is the fact that the characters have more life like attainable figures. This is what I mean, have a look at Suzie in this pic:

Notice this hips on Suzy and those curves? Much for real than the animated predecesor of Babie. See this straight up and down figure is really not a REAL role moedl now is she.

I must admit that as far as kids and entertainment go I much prefer the action and curves of Suzie than an animic Barbie anyday!
