研究人员测量了五个当代人偶的外形尺寸，并将其与原始人偶进行了比较，以确定他们的体型是否比原始设计更强壮。颈部、胸部、手臂、前臂、腰部、大腿和小腿的周长使用Scale Master II型号6325分别测量了三次。然后在随后的分析中使用平均得分。除了腰部，现在的人偶的身体部位都比原来的人偶大得多。这项研究的结果表明，在过去的25年里，玩具人偶变得更强壮、更大了。此外，人偶尺寸的增加可能会促进理想体型的多因素发展，这种体型侧重于精瘦、肌肉发达的体格。这种情况可能特别影响青春期前男性的观念。
The physical dimensions of five contemporary action figures were measured and compared to their original counterparts to determine whether their physiques have become more muscular from their original designs. The circumferences of the neck, chest, arm, forearm, waist, thigh, and calf were measured three separate times using a Scale Master II model 6325. The mean score was then used in subsequent analyses. Except for the waist, it was determined that the body parts of current action figures were significantly larger when compared to those of their original counterparts. The results of this study indicate that action figures have become more muscular and larger over the last 25 years. Furthermore, the increase in action figure dimensions may contribute to the multifactoral development of an idealized body type that focuses on a lean, muscular physique. This occurrence may particularly influence the perceptions of preadolescent males.
