If she tried to fight with those boobies it would be quite uncomfortable I think she would most likely have two black eyes. I think this sort of thing is so unhealthy they take a perfectly beautiful character and they make her look like a porn star.

IIRC, Krillin explains that she's still mostly human, or something to that degree. I think it'd be more appropriate to call her a cyborg then an android.

Yeah, when I saw the manufacturer and then the figure I wasn't surprised by the changes. Looking at it again, I think I agree that the face might be a bit off too, but just a bit.

Originally human turned cyborg. Probably some in vitro system within the body.

Dbz art (among other things, like power level) is full of exaggeration in the first place. No males can look like dbz characters without taking boatload of gears. But of course when female body is exaggerated, everybody starts complaining. It's so funny how nobody bats an eye at those violence and genocides in DBZ, but nope, not sexualization of female body. Oh and if this is 'oversexualization', the real porn would be called Super ultra oversexualization 3. What a laughable concept.

Today I learned that 'gears' is slang for steroids. The more I know. (Not being snarky, I honestly did not know that).
But getting back to the topic here, and more specifically your argument about exaggeration in DBZ art. I don't really think it holds water, mainly in the regard that, even among all that exaggeration, Android 18 never looked the way this figure portrays her, and I don't recall them 'exaggerating' the men's packages, which would be a much closer comparison than what you're going for here.[/i]
