I thought the same thing about the loin skirt/tunic for a moment, then it dawned on me that it was a different costume that sported that look. Actually, that was the look of the original pre-RoML Herc. The only thing I'd change on this Herc are the shorts and, maybe, make them more like swim trunks. But that's such a slight change that it becomes unnecessary.

However, the larger point about Hasbro seemingly avoiding the sexualization of certain figs by muting the female form remains. If we can understand that some dudes 'just be shamelessly beefy' (and naked, for the most part) and don't attach a sexual connotation to that, then we can get a more accurate Tigra/She Hulk/Goblin Queen/whomever without assuming the same things. If soccer moms/dads are the bane of these efforts, then just deliver the shit through fan/collector-sites similar to Herc. I respect that the current atmosphere is different than it 'may have been' (open to interpretation) in the 80's/90's when many of these iconic looks set in, but if we're evolving and creating more body-awareness it seems that excluding certain expressions and body types is equally stilted as having an overwhelming preponderance of them. Especially so when there seems to be no such standard with male representation.

Meh - I just want a She Hulk that looks like my mind's eye. I just got my new Shulkie with her 'shredded' (both musculature and clothes) look. It's a fantastic fig, but it still not the Shulkie I was looking for... The A-Force She Hulk was great IMO, of course, outside of the Y-joint hips and lack of double jointed elbows.
