Heh. Other people have complained that the figure is too provocative,
with her wonderbra appearance. (For reference:

I like her too, and I think I like her more than the queen minifig
although I'm glad to get a black princess hat).
Of course, the armor the princess is wearing isn't very
authentic. Years and years of Dragon Magazine illustrations and
sword-and-sorcery book covers have taught us that women always
wore the skimpiest armor possible into combat. So Princess Storm
is obviously ill-equipped to be an effective warrior in her
cumbersome armor, and would have a better chance of surviving
combat if she were clad in a chain-mail bikini.
