(Author's Note: I have more than 400 posts from the original version of this blog, so from time to time I'll be recycling them. Here's one from September 2011.)
If I was a young, impressionable kid, and I saw this at the store, I'd be horrified:
Once I got over the excitement of seeing one of the characters I've seen on TV on something tangible, I'd start to realize what was awfully wrong about it.
First of all, she's obviously been in a tragic steamroller accident, because she's very, very flat. I would then imagine that someone tried to save her from the steamroller but only succeeded in stretching her arms and hands out like Stretch Armstrong, and somehow her gargantuan hands got turned into cup holders. Clearly something awful happened with her legs, as they're pretty short. Maybe they only look short because of her ginormous arms and torso.
This is a prime example of going to far for the sake of product tie-ins. When I was a kid, my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle underwear was enough for me.

I still have my TMNT underwear from when I was a kid. A little snug nowadays.
@Powdered Toast Man: Glad to see I'm not the only one.
