It looks like a weird, mutated "ROARK".

So he meant to type "ΡΟΑΡΚ" if he was going to say "ROARK" with Greek letters.
See,
"Γ" (lowercase γ) is the letter
gamma. Its pronunciation doesn't exist as a sound in English, but it's somewhere between a 'y' and a 'g' sound.
"Θ" (lowercase θ) is the letter
theta. It's pronounced "th".
The sound represented in English by the letter "R" is represented in Greek by the letter "Ρ" (lowercase ρ), called
ro.
(The letter "P" in English is equivalent to the Greek letter "Π" (π), called
pi)
The sound represented in English by the letter "O" is represented in Greek by the letter "O" (lowercase ο), called
omicron.
You twit.

I have, but that hardly cancels out the previous 500+ chapters of all named female characters between the ages of 13 and 30 looking like different heads pasted on the same body (Alvida being the main exception, but even she was converted). Heck, even in Amazon Lilly, there's only two basic real shapes: the same old Barbie figure, and very fat. Apart from that, Oda sets the Kuja apart by giving them various odd facial features, and by making some extremely short and others extremely tall, but body-wise they still all fall into those two types.
ACTUALLY... Nami didn't start out like that... at all, her Body type slowly changed over time and she wasn't the "Standard Body-type" Until Skypiea.
And if you look through the Manga... There was Miss Monday, and Miss Merry Christmas, and Igaram's Wife, and Alvida at first, and Amazon (The Little old Lady in Skypiea who took their Pictures) and Kokoro (Old Mermaid during Water Seven/Enies Lobby)
I think you might be over-simplifying just a bit XP
what you say is true to an extent, just... it's not really as bad as you're making it out to be.

Dragonball Z(DBox Singles): 7-10 (Great deal from Kendamu!)
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

The toys in the second to last picture are Bandai's Soul of Hyper Figuration figures. They are about 1"-2" tall and come with a base with the characters' name written on it. The specific series I just bought is what Bandai like to call the "Best Collection" which is merely a compilation series of all previously released figures just with slightly different paint schemes.

I got this nifty poster.
Sorry for the quality, I took it with my phone.

I'm not even into figures and I gotta say:
That is orgasmic.

That is Booster Gold, I believe. I think he's like a billionare from the future who pays for all his powers or something like that.

As Big Momma already said, he's Booster Gold from Mattel's JLU toy line. I picked him up from Target the same day so I threw him in the photos as well.

The look on SSJ Goku and Gogeta depicted on the boxes Mike put up as well as the look on Gogeta from Big Momma's poster are kinda cool. Have they been used somewhere else as official art? Some artbook maybe?
