   Not at all. When you raised this issue at Brickworld during the Q&A, it got me to thinking. What do you think about the idea of simply including female wigs in every set? I mean, a fig is essentially gender neutral until wigs are placed on them. That way, just about any fig can be any sex.

Which must make it really hard to make female figs. The range of female options in flesh is far more limited, particularly for the darker skinned fleshies.
