About Women Action Figures:
Female action figures are STILL not that common in today's
"enlightened"
society (2008), and before the 1990s they were almost
nonexistent. I think women in fiction deserve more respect than
they're getting, and they SHOULD be honored with more action figures
than they've received. The problem with action figures as a toy
concept is that "action figures are for boys" and "dolls are for
girls". And a woman figure can be too easily construed as a
"doll" and therefore "not cool" with boys. So most of the women
action figures made are for adult collectors. The great thing
about this is that since these figures are made for discerning adult
buyers, great attention is paid to detail. The bad thing is that
you pay for this detail, and most female action figures can be
costly. I'm a great admirer of women action figures, and I
think the prettier the better. In this special feature of the
Toys
department, I will key you in on great women action figures and what
you might like to add to your collection.
