    We're hoping they make a Hera to go with her.

    I teach 5th graders, and for anyone who thinks Star Wars is being mishandled, think again; boys and girls don't care if it's Darth Vader, Sabine Wren, Rose Tico, or Kylo Ren. It's so wonderful to be around kids whose opinions aren't tainted by internet chatter or fan rage. They are along for the ride, and loving it, as we should be, and as we were when we were their age.

    Those seem to get a lot of ridicule but I've always liked them. Very nice quality and sturdy toys.

    I agree. Those are fun.

    Admin: I've think we've had enough name calling and politicizing of a perfectly innocent thread for one day.

    One user is now blocked from this area, let's keep the discussion about the toys, thanks!

    Was in Toys R Us yesterday (Freehold, NJ), saw a few girls in the Star Wars section excitedly ogling the Forces of Destiny figures (mostly Rey and I think there was a Leia there), much like you'd expect if they were in the Barbie section. saw a couple more checking out the female WWE wrestling figures the next aisle over, too.

    Would that my own niece were into Star Wars, but, alas, no. She's into Nerf guns, not lightsabers.

    Per a Youtube review, R2D2 has 3-point articulation (rotating dome and upper legs)--similar to a vintage figure.

    My daughter--who IS the target audience for these--has a half dozen of them and she loves them. And this 49-in-a-couple-of-weeks toy nerd does too.

    I started this thread because I thought the toys were cool and wanted to pass along the info to other collectors and their kids. There are a lot of toy lines I'm not interested in but have I the courtesy not to go into those threads and be negative about them and there is a thread already to discuss the state of SW merchandise. On a personal note, I find it a bit depressing/frustrating to see female characters so often labeled as Mary Sues.

    They should never try to embrace another demographic, let's continue focus on the shrinkng core buyer. Brilliant!
