Many years ago I read a comic where Ray Palmer in his Silver Age costume was mistaken for an Atom action figure by a child who proceeded to thrash him and generally treat him like one of the other figures in his collection. Considering the lousy attention to detail of toys in the 70s, I remember thinking that the other figures would have to be very realistic for the real thing to be so mistaken, and consequently thought how neat it would be to have a lifelike action figure of the Silver Age Atom at 6" scale. Surprisingly, to the best of my knowledge, it's never been done. If this new female figure was to be followed by a male counterpart with realistic body proportions, and similar minimization of joint cuts, I'd jump on it.

There was a Silver Age/Ray Palmer Atom in the DCUC Line. He was one of the retailer exclusive ones though, I think.
