I have jumped right on the bandwagon and created my very own Meez. Did anyone else experience disappointment that Meez did not offer realistic options? The company's huge violation of acceptance of differences aside, there ARE some of us who are not ashamed to show ourselves as we are. The largest Meez body type was quite small, in fact. Why aren't larger people entitled to a Meez more reflective of themselves? The one that got me, though, was the age. All the Meez look like they are 16-20. Would it be so difficult to create an option for people who are older than that? And what about people whose bodies are different--wheelchairs, prosthetic or missing limbs, and on and on? Don't those folks get to play? Sadly, there are more as the war goes on, and they are young people who might be interested in having an avatar that represents them and their sacrifices.
I am going to forward these same questions to Meez and see what response I can get. We shall see.

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so. I was laughing with Tracy about how silly the 'plus-size' figure on Meez was... I mean, come on. Please don't patronize me. I can handle realism.

Well, I wrote my letter to Meez.com--we'll see if I get any feedback :)
Oh please post any responses you get. It would be so interesting.
Yes do... I like your yoga meez but I agree... it's not just the healthy, perfect kids who want to play!
And thank you for the reality reminder about how many people are coming back home greatly changed...
