I wish they would do more with Marvel women. The last Marvels were Electra and Invisible Woman. Id love to see, Ms Marvel, Spiderwoman, Emma Frost, Phoenix, Storm, Rogue and even Mystique. They could even come out with box sets with Ken as Cyclops, or Tony Stark. Does anyone feel the same? Mattel has made great strides with DC comic superwomen.

After all, no eight year old boy will want to play with a Barbie. Now She Ra on the other hand.." Plenty of boys play with Barbies. I played Barbies with my girl cousin every time I went to my aunt's house. I also played with She-Ra dolls. She-Ra is so much cooler than He-Man. “It’s pretty cool to do smething like this and give girls (I know I’m being sexist, sorry) something they can have to play superhero with that is theirs.

The Batgirl is awesome blows the last one away. Black Canary is sporting my least favorite costume (OK the "wetsuit" from the early 2000's sucked worse). Why not a classic fishnets and jacket? And hey how about a Catwoman? One that, you know, actually LOOKS like Catwoman... I like "*name subject to change" thing. Really Mattel?

While at its core, the Barbie line is meant to be toys for little girls, a large number of the dolls are created each year specifically for collectors. Secondly, you are making a huge leap by labeling the Black Canary doll a "dominatrix." Fishnets and a leather jacket are hardly dominatrix wear, for one. Also, as I've stead above, these are obviously meant for collector's and the folks who would let their kids play with these should be responsible enough parents to decide whether or not their kid should be playing with a doll dressed so provoctaively (which really isn't that bad when you compare it to the highly inappropriate Bratz dolls, which are actually marketed towards children).

Yeah, cos every child needs a dominatrix action figure.

I think its pretty awesome that they branched out from the mainstream by throwing in Black Canary. My fiancee has the old Harley Quinn Barbie which is proudly displayed in our office amongst all of my action figures and statues. I think we might need to expand her collection with a few of these!
