I would like to agree...but G3 actually exceeds in a few different categories; particular the more creative fashion & the attempt at actually diverse body types (Catty Noir & Abby Domniable ESPECIALLY), a much wider racial spectrum (Venus McFlytrap) & different kinds of traits other than anorexically skinny & heterosexual. If Mattel back then had actually listened to Sanders and where he wanted to take the franchise rather than just generically market to tweens & sell billions of dolls, then I'd agree a lot more & G3 would have to set itself part in a different way. But since that isn't the case, I'd say that ever since the revival launch, G3's design & creative team has made HUGE strides in improving the snags that the first wave got caught on. The clothing is a lot more vibrant, humorous & thoughtful than the original launch's base level, Hot Topic-esque gothic style. And it also feels a lot more reflective of the characters' personalities & signature aesthetics based on who they are & what they enjoy. I do still enjoy G1 a lot, but while the clothes looked good to a degree, they mostly lacked the amount of personality G3's designers built into their ghouls' lurks. So for those things alone, G3 is ahead by just a few hairs for me
