Is it possible to "split the difference"?  It seems to me that by
adding "wings" of a sort to the XO figure, you'd be able to
approximate something that still looks human, yet also looks like a
sugar glider -- or a kid with a hang glider.  Clearly related to the
original, but like the Red Bull commercials say "Sugar gives you
wings!" ;-)
