UGH!!!! \u00a0I am so frustrated with toy makers!! \u00a0So, there is a Star Wars show that both Jackson and Ella really love. \u00a0Two of the main characters are females. \u00a0They are strong and fierce, and Ella just adores them. \u00a0Here comes the problem; they sell all the action figures of the male characters, but none of the female characters. \u00a0I mean, you can go to target and buy a full set of characters from the show, but they still managed to leave out the two females. \u00a0What the fuck toymakers?!? \u00a0Boys are not the only ones who what to play with this stuff. \u00a0Just ask my little girl who left Target in tears because, once again, all the cool toys are male Characters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The “heros” of the show<\/p><\/div>\n

\"No<\/a>

No females<\/p><\/div>\n

Now that it’s time of Christmas shopping I wanted to get Ella a Gamora figure from the new Gaurdians of the Galxey movie. \u00a0Well, guess what? \u00a0Since she happens to be a female character, I can’t seem to get one. \u00a0Sure, they make the smaller size ones that are more for collectors, but nothing in the larger size that a 6 year old could actually play with. \u00a0So lame!!<\/p>\n

\"Gamora<\/a>

Gamora is even at the front of the movie poster<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I went through this when Jackson was really into the Imaginext stuff. \u00a0Ella really wanted to play with him, but she wanted to be a girl character. \u00a0As I’m sure you can guess, they don’t make any for girls.<\/p>\n

For their birthday, we went to Toys R’ Us to check out some toys and gauge what they are interested in now. \u00a0Have you been to one of those stores lately? \u00a0There are twice as many aisles for the “boy” toys, possibly even more. \u00a0Ella walked down all the girl rows and didn’t see a single thing she wanted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So to all you toy companies out there, Girls like playing with castles and dinosaurs too. \u00a0Girls like action movies and tv shows that have strong female characters. \u00a0Boys are not the only ones who watch these shows and movies and want to play with the merchandise. \u00a0Maybe you should keep that in mind when you all are sitting around a table and you decided to leave all the female characters out because boys might not want to play with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
