I do feel compelled to point out that by using different poses on the SM figures (ie the spread legged, sexless lets gunfight pose) than the 'lets all do Vogue' sexy pose the V and g figures have really slants things. The outer figures are not posed to show their figures like the two inner ones are.

Point taken. I tried to apply the same pose to all of them but no go. The poses that were made for the V figures horribly distorted the G2 figures and vice versa. So I had to find something reasonably close to the V6-4 pose that was intended for the Sydney 2 character. I just threw this thing together to make a side by side comparison so I wasn't going the spend the time to pose each of these figures identically. But the point is that even tho the V6-4 are highly idealized, they also seem to be far more proportionally correct and consequently more (suspended disbelief) believable. The G2 characters look kinda like poor imitations of Hobits to me. Just not quite right.
