And how many male superheroes boil down to "I haz super big muscles?" The recent Spider-Woman controversy was hilarious. Her pose was no different than Spider-Man's on hundreds of comic covers. Not to mention the countless panels where he's thrusting his crotch at the reader mid web-swing. Saw some of the more ridiculous examples that were compiled in the comments of an article somewhere, it was pretty funny in a sad way. That one early cover of
Red Hood and the Outlaws
where you can clearly see the outline of Jason's junk went largely unnoticed, whereas Starfire's redesign and actions inside the book were again criticized.
Regardless, these characters only look as ripped, sexy or normal as is ideal to the artist drawing them at the time. Batgirl's most recent redesign is due to the new writer and artist coming up with their ideal version of Barbara and her suit, for example. And artists
should
have that right to interpret the characters as such, from one extreme to the other. No different than how we each have the right to like or dislike such interpretations. I'm not trying to sway anyone, just rambling, really.
Anyway, in hindsight this is probably inappropriate talk for a toy site. I stated my opinion, and it's the last I'll discuss of the matter.
After looking at pics of the BAF Rocket Raccoon, I'm only just realizing I don't like the sculpt very much. It looks a little too psychotic (in the "Murdered ya!" way), whereas the movie version looks much too depressed. A new head sculpt for the box set that is more of a compromise between the two would be nice.
I'm also torn on whether a uniform look from a single specific iteration for the whole team would be preferred, or a little bit of a mix and match from various runs. I don't know if there's one run where I've personally liked all of their designs at the same time.
