I've read many times that people are unhappy with some of the Sanrio villagers, i.e., My Melody's isn't a rabbit, etc.
In my humble opinion, it's better they're different species, so it's a new character instead of the actual Sanrio post girl/boy, which would possibly cause legal problems and would be bad for the company.
That aside, I found on Tumblr someone who used something called texture mod (I've got no clue) and made actual villagers based on the characters, so we can see what they could have looked like! Take a look:
Hello Kitty

My Melody

Keroppi

Cinnamon Roll

Chococat

These don't look half bad IMO!
