I do want a New Warriors set (especially for 'Thrash), but I wasn't referring to Namorita. While she's cool, her mom (after a fashion) Namora, is cooler. Stronger in character (written better) and more powerful (well, she's Namor but a woman).

As far as the implied suggestion that female characters wouldn't be in demand. I perceived, what I believed to be (I could be wrong), an ever so slight incrimination that female figs couldn't support sales numbers. As far as the industry's take on the matter? Yes, I very much believe that it is an implicit belief (in the industry) that toy figures should be targeted at either male or female audiences (not both). As stupid as it seems, in 2014, lines aimed at males overwhelmingly feature a male focus and the vice versa is also true. There are many types of gender specific messages within almost every aspect of society....
