Will has many superhero figure from his youth. He was saving them for the girls (or I guess his future children) who love to play with them. Our girls have lots of different superheroes that span many years. When we purchased some new figures to go into their collection, I was amazed at how the proportions of Wonder Woman have changed in thirty years. Look how much happier she looks with a little meat on her plastic bones. She looks a little bitchy and hungry in her new, "improved" version. Her fists are clenched, not like she is about to fight crime, but like she wants to punch someone who dares mention pizza. The old Wonder Woman looks satified and ready to take on some serious shit. She appears well nourished, in shape, and ready for action. Plus her head is an appropriate size for her body, where the new Wonder Woman looks sort of like a lollipop with that giant melon. How is she going to take on criminals when her knees don't bend? It sort of clears up a lot about distorted body image, no?

That's disturbing.
