Gamer Girls - Sackboy Vs Sackgirl

This post is image intensive. For that I do apologize. I was raised in the era of bandwidth conservation and although the times they are a changing - I am still responsible enough to cringe at the thought that I just inserted a half dozen, reasonably High Resolution images into one blog post.

There is a method to my madness, though. At present I am trying to disprove a theory of mine - and that is that Sackboy is nearly the cutest darn critter in the universe. A mere step or two behind floppy newborn puppies and baby deer. To that - I am not foolhardy enough to attempt to disrepute.
What I am attempting to determine though - is why Sackgirl is not evoking the same tangible giddiness upon first or second glance while anatomically Sackgirl and Sackboy remain more closely anatomically associated than many other species, real or imagined.

Combined in one image or viewed in a venue where they are near to each other - the guys and gals are darn intriguing, but solo - it seems that something is missing. Although I am really not quite certain what. You tell me. Take a look at our new favorite friends and give your opinion below. Are they equally adorable? Or - are you like me and leaning towards gleeful creation of your very own Sackboy upon Little Big Planets' release?

The ladies I play these games with tend to ALWAYS create characters that emulate themselves - so watching them create their characters next month will be a rather vocal response to the cute factor. Yet in this world of instant gratification I just cannot wait until then.

I hope to use any cutification feedback to relate to and improve upon submissions for a sackboy / sackgirl costume for the costume creation contest over at Playstation.com
