But they kinda do? I mean it's not like girls haven't been playing with action figures since the days of Thundercats (and probably further back).

When I was a little girl, the toys I wanted were things like my little pony figures, sky dancers, polly pockets, beanie babies, dolls, etc. I had a ton of Sailor Moon clothing/toys, too. I had a plastic moon wand, of all things, lol. As for cheap action figures, eh.

And I had Thundercats, Ninja Turtles, GI Joes, and a few Barbies. Your point?

A lot of girls do tend to want to buy girl toys though... and if they don't make any...

See, I think my statement above was more overgeneralized then I meant it to be.

Obviously there are girls out there who buy super hero toys, and super hero action figures. But not in the same numbers boys do. Now there's a few reasons for this, one of the big ones being that, as Paul pointed out, the marketing strategy is "make this something these kind of boys like because these are the toys we know these boys buy"

This, amongst other things, means a lot less (In the case of YJL which he was talking about) WonderGirl and Megan toys even coming out compared to the others. And yet, a girl probably wants to buy those ones first if she's given the option cause hey, people do tend to like to identify with something and gender's a pretty easy place to start.

But more then that, if they get fans in the range that dont' want those toys, boys or girls, well, maybe they'd buy a t-shirt. Or a back pack. or (and here's the big one that stuff for girls always falls short on) a Halloween costume. Instead, they try to see if they can shit the audience back to that target demographic instead of targeting the demographic they actually have.

And that's why shows with great ratings can be cancelled. Because they aren't making money. Because girls or families or teens aren't buying the merch offered. And why would they? It wasn't for them.
