GIRL TYPE: Action Figure Type Girls


So what do you call a fit woman who is as stylish as she is good partner for adventures and explorations? Tomboy? Wifey material ... maybe? The female action figures I grew up playing with, are ground zero for the lustful thoughts of mixing two of life's greatest pleasures- attractive women and being an action hero. Think about childhood standbys like Princess Leia , or Scarlett and Lady Jaye from G.I. JOE. Women totally as down with blowing stuff up, providing support in covert operations, or facilitating winning strategies to save the galaxy from evil empires as they are to making out, or wearing tidy outfits that show and prove just how womanly they are. Women as strong and competent as their male counterparts, but so absolutely female, XX always marks the spot.
