But, even in elfquest there is a ton of variance in shape, depending on the origins. Then again, they tended to have a lot of mixing given that some were able to shapeshift and interbreed with other species. (Not humans though, the Pinis were particular there were no half-humans for 'reasons.')
I sort of think that wotc borrowed some from that concept with the sex-changing and malleable elves.
Not that I mind, I like the idea. But again, I'm not bothered by the classic Tolkien elf either.
