> [Grumpy Old Man] Why, back in MY day, we didn't have action figures of female characters that were HOT! Oh, sure, you young'uns who grew up in the '90s had the Harley Quinn action figure from the Paul Dini and Bruce Timm Batman animated series, but back when I was a kid, all the way into the ancient mists of the '80s, the closest you could come to decent female action figures were either Scarlett from G.I. Joe and the Baroness from Cobra, which sacrificed attractiveness for poseability, or Teela and Evil-Lyn from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, which sacrificed poseability for attractiveness! Why would my male action figures want to fight with each other to win the affections of female action figures who either had helmet-hair and manlike hips and torsos, or else couldn't stand up on their own?
