There are ways to get women out into the line that virtually every other comic book toy manufacturer seems to have figured out.

If that actually worked we would no doubt see it more often.

You mean like Knightfall AzBat and Classic Barry Allan?

It isn't, male figures peg warm just as hard if not harder.

I've seen far too many peg-warming Harley Quinns and Arkham/The Batman Catwoman figures to buy that explanation.

Ah yes, the old "who are you going to believe: me or your lying eyes?" argument.

How come THEY have no problem selling and stocking relatively obscure female characters like Cheetara, Karai, Elisa Maza, Angela and Demona but Mcfarlane can't even give us figures of some of the most iconic female superheroes like Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Batgirl and Supergirl on a regular basis?

Super 7 produces their figures on a made-to-order basis, don't they? As for NECA, I can't imagine that anyone who would buy Gargoyles figures in the first place wouldn't purchase Elisa, Demona and Angela.

You really need to step back and take a moment to appreciate that you guys are promulgating a paranoid conspiracy theory that Todd McFarlane just hates money for some reason.
