Will female action figures ever look good again instead of plain, fridge-bodies, or deliberately ugly? It's like toy-makers don't want you buying them. They have no problem with He-Man and other muscular idealized male figures, but when it comes to women it's a different standard.

Funny you use he-man as an example when motu origins is one of the best examples of attractive female bodies in domestic toys still.

It was never released, the pre-orders were cancelled after nobody bothered to buy anymore Super7 Ultimates after the GI Joe wave 2 unpainted faces fiasco. They did release a Lady Jaye and she looks awful.

Super7 are basically statues. Wave 1 of the GI Joe Ultimates was decent for that purpose. Later waves were not even good enough to be statues.

The funny thing is Super7 tried to play the unpainted faces of Wave 2 off as a "factory mistake". But later waves had the same problem, so that was a lie.

"back in the day" the toy companies did not put much effort into the girl characters looking "hot" they just included them for Smurfette purposes (your sister can play, too!)

modern MOTU & G.I.Joe Classified put some solid effort into making the characters look attractive. (they don't always nail it, but deserve props for effort)

Wrestling, Marvel, and Star Wars Black Series do a good match to the actors, so if the actor is hot, so will the character.

if you want hottie-hot characters, anime is your gold mine

the only other gi joe ultimate from the other waves with unpainted faces is zartan and its because hes glow in the dark, a bad trade honestly considering its a useless gimmick for an adult collector but they did at least listen to the complaints there, too little too late.

I dont think that this is right. Otherwise you would give them male bodies with female heads or make them obese.
It is just that cool or gross looking beats sexy looking till boys are 10. And even than buying a sexy figure can be hard for boys, because it is embarrassing for them to have a sexy figure. Thats why boy hide their swimsuit magazines or browser history.

for a hot minute during max-woke-times, Lego was starting to remove the "female-coding" on the torsos (boob contour lines, hip/waist contours on the sides) in an effort to make those pieces more-useful for either male or female (or "other") genders (it seems like that policy is reversing in recent sets, which do include those things)

sorry that's a lot of explanation just to say... you did indeed post a picture of a male body with female head

I agree with the "embarrassment" factor. that can apply to adults, too, who feel even more like they are being judged at checkout for buying a sexy figure. it's both a toy and lewd: double humiliation

my frame of reference for old female figures is toybiz era skeleton abominations. modern stuff I'm sure is stifled in an equal and opposite way but if I had to choose I'd take the boring mom bodies in op I guess.

notice this female has a knot tied on her shirt. typically only something women do, yet this figure lacks the waist contours, those contours would be even more prominent since her shirt is now snuggly tied, but if they put those, it would girl-code it. the pocket and necklace charm are meant to distract from the lack of boob-contours. Lego liked to use the combo of frumpy jacket and large necklace charm (or t-shirt print under the jacket) to "hide" the lack of boob lines.

I did like the change to the neck-lines, where they would usually put a little yellow circle around the collar to indicate a neck. removing that meant you could use those torsos for "fleshie" colored heads as well as the classic yellow heads (and the other way around, if the minifig was fleshie colored but you wanted to use the torso with a yellow head)

Women are by nature narcissistic sociopath's with the minds of children, so they scream and cry for more old, fat and/or ugly women being represented in media to level the playing field by using reverse psychology to trick younger, thinner and more beautiful women that they should be downplaying their natural attributes because of "The Male Gaze" which amounts to;

ROASTIE - "WHHHHAAAAA, STOP BEING SEXY, YOU'RE TAKING ALL THE BEST MEN!!!"

As the only people who hate women more than men are other women and why they can't create/maintain any functioning society/civilization because they're too busy back stabbing each other.

Anywho, you know this is true while they always project this onto men "What, you're mad that X lead character from Z I.P./franchise isn't a white straight male?"

Here's the difference between men and women in a hypothetical scenario;

A man is at the checkout line of a supermarket and next to him is a rack of magazines with pictures of ripped muscular men on the covers. The first thought he'll have is "I need to go to the gym" (unless he's gay in which case it's "I'd love to suck his cock!") because men inspire other men to exceed their limitations and create benchmarks that they want others to surpass as Darwinism is in our nature.

Same scenario but now it's a woman, of any age, at the checkout line and see's a rack of magazines of younger/thinner/more beautiful women and their only thoughts are jealousy/hate and how can she tear those women down to her level.

This is why women are pushing for more fat, ugly, older women in media because they can't stand the sight of someone better than they are and don't want men to have nice things anymore because of their Daddy issues

You don't see men crying for more representation of old, fat and ugly men in media while if you're not at least a 9/10 in the looks department women regard you as subhuman but always demand that you accept them the way they are!!!FACT!!!

You could argue that the waist never made sense on a Lego figure, since it i plies the block you see is negative space.
But you are right that they made the print more realistic and neutral.
