I hate Valentine's Day. Stupid commercialised crap

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.

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'.
