I find it curious because he has actual public exposure too due to his semi-recent wedding X-Men issue. Unlike Daken, his character is known among the mass media and their readerships.

I do wonder if Hasbro is not releasing him because they feel it would be unwise to release a gay character. Maybe the exposure of his wedding actually heightened the level of awareness and that backfired in what is still perceived to be a children's toyline. I am all for more female figures being made, but there's really a few pairings that it's silly to have one but not the other - Aurora/Northstar is one of them, much the same if they had released Dagger but not Cloak.

I also wonder if this has anything to do with them locking down on X-Men related characters though, but if that's the case why did they release Aurora, Bishop, Beast....I mean really though what is the exact deal that he's been delayed 2 times now? There can't seem to be anything with the actual figure that would be that difficult to make is there?
