What everyone else sees on the screen must be completely different from what I see. Example: I remade Sven with the same (but new) body type. The NEW version of myself actually has some meat on his bones. The old version of me looks like he could use a Big Mac or two (see arms & legs)
I've looked at all of the new body types again and the only visible "gut" I see is on the two models of each gender that are depicted as being as such (by their selection icons). I think what Zep said in the test thread is right. We all have a very different ideal of what's "normal."
Honestly, I'm writing Disney a letter to ask them if I can be switched over to the new body type for Sven. It's a lot more ideal to me than the one I had to settle for when I made him the first time.
