"...complained to me that her eyes were modeled-in to be "too asian""

Weird. To me, the whole purpose of having an Asian figure is for her to look Asian. There are other more general purpose figures available if you want a range. I can understand wanting to get the most bang for the buck, but certain things seem to be  better served by a more specialized figure. 

I'm wondering if it would be possible for a single Asian figure to accurately represent the various ethnicities, e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.?
