History Main / OnlyOneFemaleMold

* {{Parodied}} and {{exaggerated}} in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance's'' ''WorldOfWarcraft'' parody. Riff has a TwentyBearAsses quest that requires killing only female slime blobs and he can't figure out how to distinguish them. A little later when Zoë is trying to create a character, she complains to Torg about the difference between the way the male and female characters look -- all the female versions are scantily clad and have the same exact generically sexy figure with a different head, even the ugly Jigants ([[ButterFace and the females still have the same Jigant face]]). Upon realising this, Torg becomes GenreSavvy enough to be able to advice Riff, and after hearing his advice, Riff wonders why the hell [[FailedASpotCheck he didn't notice]] it sooner that while most slime blobs are just blobs, some of them have that blob for a head atop the same old bikini'd sexy female body.

* ''DragonAge: Origins'' is pretty bad about this. Morrigan is a twentysomething whose good looks other characters comment on. Wynne is a mage in her sixties. Put them in the same type of armor, and they're identical from the neck down.

* ''SailorMoon''. Other than height (and ignoring a certained talented meme), is there really a difference in build among ''any'' of the girls in this show?

* DiaryOfAWimpyKid. Justified, as Greg is a teenage boy who doesn't really understand girls yet and considers them all to be pretty much the same.

** However it's played relatively straight with there being only one Pegasus mold. Thus, Fluttershy ends up looking like a PalletSwap of Ranbow Dash.

* The original HeMan and SheRa animated series used pretty much the same body and face types in nearly all the adult female chacters, particularly the ActionGirls, to the point where the best way to tell them apart was by their clothes and hair.

* You can only play a female human, elf, half-elf, or half-orc in ''{{Arcanum}}'' because Troika only had enough time/resources to make one (medium-sized) female model.

For the face equivalent, see OnlySixFaces, GenericCuteness. Related to the MostCommonSuperpower. Contrast {{Pettanko}}, AmazonianBeauty, BigBeautifulWoman. See also HeroicBuild for when this trope applies to superheroines.

* In ''{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''FalloutNewVegas'' even the old wrinkle faced women will have young shaped bodies.

In most animated works and comics featuring an ensemble cast, particularly a FiveManBand, the male characters will have a wide range of body types- TheSmartGuy will often be [[GeekPhysiques small and slender]], TheBigGuy will be either huge and muscular or endearingly pudgy, and TheHero will typically be somewhere in between.

Female characters, however, tend to have almost identical body shapes- typically standing [[OneHeadTaller one head shorter]] than the hero, relatively slender build, very little muscle definition. Breast size varies depending on the work, but in many cases, all the women in the cast will have the same cup size. Surprisingly, this even applies to works with an all-female cast.

* Initially played straight with ''MonsterHigh'' until the release of Nefera De Nile's doll, which has a taller mold as she is older than the rest.

* Happens in the video games ''{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''FalloutNewVegas'' where even the old wrinkle faced women will have young shaped bodies.

* Most of {{Barbie}}'s friends have the exact same body shape as her.
** Which is especially odd since ''no real women do.''

* ''OnePiece'' started as this (Aside from the rare TokenLoli), though Oda finally decided to be just as [[CastOfSnowflakes outlandish]] with females as he was with males.

* ''SailorMoon''. Other than height (and ignoring a certained talented meme), is there really a difference in build between ANY of the females in this show?

* An interesting example is in the background of ''TheIncredibles'', Edna Mode's design studio has three body type manequins to model her clothes on: huge buff dude, medium sized buff dude, and woman.

* UchuuSenkanYamato and other {{Leijiverse}} works owe this to AuthorAppeal. Males sometimes have a token Gonk just to skew the ratio.

* All the females in BBSenshiSangokuden are the exact same build, regardless of age, while males come under regular, Toutaku, and Ryofu Tallgeese.

* This has been a consistent complaint over WorldOfWarcraft character models; the alpha builds, while rough, often had the females look like counterparts to the males of their race, but when it came time for final builds (after receiving yea many complaints about being ugly) it was like the developers threw up their hands and said "screw it, let's make them all barbie dolls".
* Happens in the video games Fallout3 and FalloutNewVegas where even the old wrinkle faced women will have young shaped bodies.
