Lara Croft's position as the world's sexiest animated character is under threat, according to a new poll. Dr Aki Ross from the Final Fantasy feature film is close behind the Tomb Raider heroine. Aki got 37% of votes in the 18 to 35 year old males category, compared with Lara's winning score of 43%. And Dr Ross won the category of voters aged between 18 and 24 years old.

Fifty-eight per cent of men said large breasts were the cyber babe's best attribute. But over half of the voters thought real women were better vthan their animated counterparts. Amongst the reasons listed, 19% felt real women were better because of their imperfections. The poll was carried out by 200 males between 16 and 40 across the country by the Jackie Cooper PR company.
