Well, the new figure coming up (Dawn) has legs like your illustration. As a clothing/content maker I can attest to my gratitude for this...it's right pain in the arse to model a pair of pants/shorts/panties if you can't really get up in the crotch of the figure's mesh.

The arms - I like the arms straight out. It makes making sleeves easier and more access to the armpits, tho bent down slightly wouldn't really hinder that too much.
