Sorry, OP, I would like to sympathize with ya, but I can't. I don't get your sentiment. Does it mean that producing sexy dolls of female fictional characters is generally wrong?

And it's not even a part of her character, just some money-making semi-related thingie?

And they own the concept, after all? ...IDK.

Admittedly, the slave dolls do not affect me either. Maybe I'm heartless or do not understand the cultural context.

Some others have implied this, but it would be less of an issue, I think, if the dolls of fictional male characters were sexed up to the same extent.

Generally speaking, most problematic representations of people would not be problematic were it not for the fact that individuals of a certain gender/race/orientation are disproportionately represented that way. When there is that sort of imbalance, it usually corresponds to a prejudicial social view (in this case: women are meant to be sexually desirable first, and everything else second).

If the only one who is getting the sexy, dolled up action figure is the girl, while all the guys on the team get the normal awesome action-y pose action figure, yes there is something wrong with that. Because it is clear implication that, as always, only the male audience is excessively catered to by giving them an overly sexualized action figure.

Now, if the company would also produce sexualized action figures of the guys, it wouldn't be so bad. But if they only default to the girl? Yeah there is something wrong with that.
