The arms and legs just look misshapen to me (and the bare arms just accentuate that bulging elbow joint). Different tastes; maybe I'm just too use to the Mego female body after all these years, but the proportions and shapes just seem better.
    It is 10 times better than the crap FTC gives us...Until there are S-type female bodies,the Mattel body does these figures just fine

      I would love to see Dr Mego come out with a solid female body without rubber bands and maybe the swivel bicep like the S-type male figures.

        I just can't bring myself to use the Mattel female body. As much as I want to like those figures, they have issues. The issue I have with the female bodies are the god-awful legs. That spread and the knock-knees I just can't get past. At least a costume helps cover it. The hands get me too. They look like little deformed baby hands. I try to use original Mego female bodies when I can. I dunno. Just my 2 cents.

          That would be incredible. The FTC female bodies are shockingly bad. And cheetahs/Janine are starting to get a bit pricey. I was able to score a few but now I am effectively doubling the cost of any FTC female figure.

            How? They have the same floppy waist problems as all Mattel figures do. No one has really ever explained why the Mattel body is supposedly better other than just their own personal taste. Folks have been able to enumerate specific reasons why they prefer the S-type bodies. Just asking for some reasoning behind the claim, I guess.

              I don't know you can compare the two?

              FTC female body can't stand straight.It flops over like the hunchback of notre dame.The bands are strung tight causing it.

              The plastic is CHEAP!!!

              The hips are HUGE and you can see the warts on the inside of the legs like she has crabs!

              She also has quite the itty-bitty titties too

              Mattels (while not perfect) does the very opposite of above.The body is more curvy,slender,full bust and less hippy.

              Yeah,the legs might flop a little (not really a problem),but they look much better that FTC by far

                The shoulders are also completely different. The chest and shoulders on the Mattel body are actually engineered differently. On a character like Wonder Woman with the shoulders exposed, the look is completely different.
