Line 11:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In the last ''[[Ranma ½]]'' OAV, a vengeful doll spirit swaps bodies with Akane and then tries to seduce/kill Ranma.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
** The manga also featured a mirror spirit who, upon taking Ranma's female form, immediately barges out of the house in a tiny cocktail dress, ready to get it on with the next attractive guy she can find.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
** In a bizarre instance of self-awareness, when female Ranma (posing as "Ranko") is forced to go bra-shopping with Nodoka and Akane, she gives up and tries on a few bras, posing to herself in the mirror and nodding appreciatively. [[Weirdness Magnet|Naturally]], this is when the sales attendant at the store chooses to trip and send hot tea flying into Ranma's booth.
* {{spoiler|Dante}} in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime version]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' attempts to seduce her ex, {{spoiler|Hohenheim}}, in this manner, {{spoiler|after taking over the body of Lyra, her beautiful maid and student}}.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
** And {{spoiler|his son Edward}}. Or rather, she tried to {{spoiler|preemptively seduce him by making him fall in love with Rose, the girl whose body she was planning on stealing next.}}{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* When {{spoiler|Grace O'Connor}} [[No Transhumanism Allowed|downloaded herself]] into the new body of a combat cyborg in ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', fondling her boobs (which were considerably bigger than her previous ones) was first thing she did.
* ''[[Code Geass]]'': {{spoiler|Empress Marianne does this when she enters C's World, doing a little posing, spinning, and curtsying. Slightly different from the normal application of this trope, as she wasn't testing out a new body, but getting used ''to her old one'', since she's been using a young girl as a [[Soul Jar]] for a long time, and only in C's World can her detached spirit manifest its true form. Did I mention she's very [[Hot Shounen Mom|hot]] and...did this to her son, Lelouch?}}
Line 25:
== [[Film]] -- Live Action ==
* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'': Dana's possession by Zuul.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* In ''The Hidden'', the body possessing space alien villain starts out only possessing the bodies of men. The first time it possesses the body of a female stripper, it spends some time exploring the differences.
* In ''[[The Hot Chick]]'', when Rob Schneider and Rachel McAdams' characters switch bodies, one freaks out and panics, the other gets a job as a stripper. Guess which is which.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* There's the not-at-all-gratuitous "alien learns to put on a bra" sequence in ''[[Species]]''.
* There's a non-bodyswapping example in ''[[Stardust (film)|Stardust]]'', where the witch Lamia is very happy with her youthified self, and strips off in front of a mirror to get a better look. Her sisters are there too, looking on in envious admiration.
Line 33:
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Second Apocalypse]]'', Aurang gets to do this once.
* Aran'gar, alias {{spoiler|Halima, alias Balthamel}}, from ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'', a formerly male Forsaken who was reincarnated into a female body. S/he puts hir cleavage to good use.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* In "[[I Will Fear No Evil]]", Heinlein posits a brain transplant from a 95 year old man to a 23 year old, very pretty girl. At least at first, he (she?) spends time in front of the mirror admiring his new, female body.
Line 56:
== Theatre ==
* Variation in ''[[Into the Woods]]''. The witch had been transformed into an old crone body for a while, and after that curse is broken, she has a whole song in which she shows off her actual appearance, which is youthful and good looking.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 67:
== Western Animation ==
* In one episode of ''[[Totally Spies!]]'', the [[Villain of the Week]]'s contraption was something that allowed people to change their physical attributes by switching their own with someone else's. A really hideous lady tried it out with Alex, and then the lady walked away, checking out her new reflection in a mirror.
* Blackarachnia's debut in ''[[Beast Wars]]'' mostly fits this. Though she isn't taking anyone's appearance in particular, she has just upgraded from a simple protoform. After her introduction, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV2JWs9o7hc she can be observed doing random kicks and poses in the background while Megatron talks].{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* Not a full body, but Rarity's new wings in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]].
