She looks weird to me, too, but that's the point. Think MAD magazine, or political cartoons. You could get a similar effect by just scaling up the head, but then the neck just doesn't look right, and tapering doesn't help much, unless you only scale up by a small amount. I still haven't decided if I'm going to buy this or not. I'd be more inclined to buy if it were Mike. The victims of caricature being more often male than female. :-)
