Agree. I don’t have many MTF Vals because they look so unrealistic compared to what people actually look like. Love putting a few Fortnite women in my collection for some realism. My collection is some sort of GI Joe based head fiction that includes all sorts of lines.
The discussion about the proportions of the Fornite figures is an interesting case study of the hobby.
Other than maybe calls for civilians, the number one request I see in threads/groups across product lines is for a greater variety of body types (taller, shorter, heavier, etc). Yet, when figures come out with proportions that don't meet one's expectations, people are quick to complain.
I don't dispute that Fortnite figures have beefier thighs and that some of the female figures give an impression of being squat or vertically compressed.
But I also agree that these are proportions that are very common in day-to-day life, particularly when it comes to the ladies. Marauders for instance has nice figures, but there's a definite Ken and Barbie nature to their proportions, that's not very realistic, or at least limiting.
