Yea, the unrealistic standards have been around a long time.

Even most art of Red Sonja (1973) is drawn far more "sexily" than realistic, and she's far older of a character than Lara (1996).

Of course both were created to leverage sex appeal, but my point is Lara Croft has still always been exaggeratedly skinny.
