* In the original novel ''Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Woman'', the titular character becomes fascinated by Bee because the latter is slender and almost breastless. In the film, Bee was played by Marika Green, who was neither slender nor flat-chested.

* Ruiko Saten from ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'' was flat-chested in the manga, but not so much in the anime.

* Some versions of the poster for the original ''Film/StarWars'' movie exaggerated Princess Leia's proportions, to a FanService -ish degree.

* In ''Film/SpiderMan'', the spider bite that gave Peter Parker his powers also makes him slightly buffer. In the original comics, ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' films, and many othe incarnations, the spider bite had no such effect.

* The 2000 Syfy adaptation of ''Literature/{{Dune}}'' cast the noticeably voluptuous Barbora Kodetova as Paul's love-interest Chani, who was supposed to be slender and devoid of body fat. It's probably just a coincidence that the uncensored version of the mini-series featured Kodetova in a topless scene...

* The ''Series/GameOfThrones'' version of Missandrei is quite a few years older than her counterpart in the ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' series, who's only about eleven, and thus more shapely.
* The [[Series/TheWalkingDead TV version]] of ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'' gave the already beautiful Maggie Greene [[StatuesqueStunner height]] and [[BuxomIsBetter bust-size]] upgrades.

* Happens with several members of the ''SuperwomenOfEva'' series, obtaining additional muscle as part of their [[SuperFic superpowers']] package. Various characters within their respective stories see them as [[AmazonianBeauty Amazonian Beauties]] because of this.

* ''Franchise/PowerRangers:'' What the movie and comics do for the show, the show itself does compared to its Japanese SuperSentai material. In sentai, the boys are {{Bishounen}} and the girls are often reverse-DawsonCasting cases; everyone's younger and slenderer than you'd expect. In PR, you'll find considerably more muscles on the boys, and more curves (and muscles, though the full-on Amazon-looking cases are rare) on the girls. One of the best cases is is Gekiranger/Jungle Fury. Rio looks like he belongs in a boy band. He looks masterful in a smooth, aristocratic sort of way. Dai Shi looks like he could dismantle you ''without'' summoning his battle armor, and fitting with the lion theme is generally more feral-looking.

* When Creator/JenniferLawrence was chosen to play the lead in the [[Film/TheHungerGames film adaptation]] of the ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', enraged fans almost immediately complained that she was too voluptuous to play Katniss Everdeen, for whom being perpetually underfed was a defining trait.

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' once poked fun at ''Literature/HarryPotter'', in which guest host Creator/LindsayLohan was playing Hermione, returning to Hogwarts after summer vacation, having developed a pair of gigantic breasts, and unintentionally drawing so much attention to them that neither Harry nor Ron can keep his eyes off them. This also was Lohan poking fun at herself, as at the time, she was developing and blossoming, and her breasts grew naturally large, and thus many people were speculating that they were fake.

* Inverted in ''Film/XMen'', in which the famously voluptuous Rogue was played by Anna Paquin, who was diminutive by comparison.

* When Jessica Lawrence was chosen to play the lead in the film adaptation of the ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', enraged fans almost immediately complained that she was too voluptuous to play Katniss Everdeen, for whom being perpetually underfed was a defining trait.

* In ''Film/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', 8-year-old Dorothy Gale is played by [[DawsonCasting 17-year-old]] Creator/JudyGarland, and boy does it show, despite them taping down her breasts.

* In the book of ''Film/TheRunningMan'', protagonist Ben Richards is described as "scrawny" and "pre-tubercular". in the film, he's played by ''Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger''.

* Sally Acorn and Bunnie Rabbot of ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatam'' had somewhat feminine proportions, but were still clearly {{Funny Animal}}s. Many artists of the Archie ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog'' comic book have drawn the two (and many other recurring Mobians) as full on PettingZooPeople, with Bunnie's cyborg limbs even canonically redesigned just to befit this. This was downplayed as the comics tried to emulate the games' design style more.
* ''Series/PowerRangers'' comics tend to portray the women as more curvaceous and gives all the heroes a HeroicBuild, making them much more muscular than the relatively thin stuntmen and women that play them in the live action show.

* NJPW's Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger was played by a man more toned than the character originally was.
