Oh, and yes, an interracial couple is a big deal. We've got friends who just got married last summer, the wife is black and the husband is white. Half of the wife's family refused to show up at the wedding because she was marrying a white guy while his family wanted to call off the wedding because she was black.

Back on topic, I watched the first two episodes of Agent Carter S2 today and want to seriously know why we don't have a Peggy figure yet. What is the hold up Hasbro?

I'm curious as to what the reasoning is. Is it that the TV shows are aimed at a more adult audience than the all-ages cross section of the movies?

I'd guess it's due to Marvel's Creative Committee. They offered notes on the MCU and handled the merchandising. It was lead by Ike Perlmutter who used to work for Toy Biz and believes girls toys don't sell. He's the reason why we didn't get a Black Widow in 2012 in the 6 inch Avengers line. The MCC aren't over the movies anymore but they still have some say with the tv shows. Civil War or Dr. Strange should be the last movies they had involvment with.
