I can't help but notice that none of these figures are female... I understand that they're primarily aimed at boys, but so was Action Man and I had two of them. Anything wrong with allowing girls to play soldiers too?

Absolutely not. The more combat-ready women we have the better. The axis of evil has no qualms about using women as terrorists, we need a female counterpoint. Sending men to kill women is extremely distasteful.

I've been aware of these soldiers for a while now, having answered a couple of briefs on them already.
It's all about re-conditioning the young minds of our little boys to prepare them for the coming, never ending next World War. It's Government sponsored and government approved.

They look pretty kick-ass, actually.

Perhaps they should make some opposition action figures too, otherwise the military will be limited to fighting amongst themselves. So how about a multi-pack of suicide bombers, and a dinghy with Somali pirates sold separately? Sky could cash in by releasing a Ross Kemp in Afghanistan™ figure to keep the army company.

A limited edition Prince Harry figure with built-in Racist Taunt® feature would surely be a hot seller in the run up to Christmas, especially if packaged with a disgruntled 'Paki Friend'.

Man... if only. I suppose you could improvise, wrap an Action Man in a tea-towel, sellotape bangers all over him and Bob's your uncle.

I suppose it encourages creativity. They should defintely cover it on Blue Peter.
