The Gender Equality Checkpoint

I agree with the monkey of cheer. One thing that struck me as well, is that, whilst male superheroes are generally depicted looking ready and psyched for battle - these dolls are all smiling cheerfully. I quite like the catwoman doll. And the girl that hangs out with the Joker (can't recall her name) looks suitably manic and like she'd probably do some serious damage with that mallet - the others look a little too demure and pretty.

Serious step up from no female figures, or female figures designed for the male gaze - but they totally need integrating into the main line.

That's the look of, don't-need-a-grimace-or-scowl-ready-for-anything-I-can-handle-it, confidence.
And class too.
