A Pennsylvania toy company says it's making plastic toy female soldiers thanks to requests from female veterans, toy fans, and a persuasive letter from a 6-year-old girl.

The new troops will be female versions of the classic"Plastic Army Men" that have fought countless battles over the decades in children's bedrooms, classrooms, and back yards.BMC Toys owner Jeff Imel makes hundreds of thousands of plastic troops each year at his Scranton factory. He says he's been thinking about making female troops for years.

But guns and stuff CNN...

Must everything be made of plastic?

Create a problem, sell a solution. Except In this case it wasnt the company making the problem, it was society and everyone else whos political agendas fueled by mass hysteria.

“While women were able to enlist, they were prohibited from direct combat roles or assignments. In 1994 the Department of Defense officially banned women from serving in combat.“. - Wikipedia

Thank God this is what the world was missing

Interesting sales gimmick. So, these are front line combat female toy soldiers?

About time!

That's awesome 🤗

Persuasive 6 y/o girl? BS. However, their shortsightedness is astonishing considering real life. They should actually be ashamed. 🇺🇸

So they can reenact all the combat they never saw in any war?

Bout time

Good

Sex news Network 1.penguins 2. Skeletal remains 3. Monopoly game 4. Rainbow vapor trails

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Time to make them frick, children

That's good

Nice idea, I think. Even one toy without female version like this case, it can affect children’s thought. If there’re no toy female soldiers, it will become stereotype that women can’t become soldiers.

Good ........I wish we never needed any soldiers in the world except , soldier ants. Nice to represent the female sacrifices and contributions to all military for real.

Jihadis across the world are shaking in their keffiehs now.

Good grief. This'll never work. Company will go broke.

👍👍🤩

I am glad to hear this news and I hope that it always happens

Out of interest ... how do you distinguish between a male and female small, green, plastic toy soldier?

Please make all Services, not just Soldiers.

It’s just sad we still have toy soldiers.

AkivaGoldsman More plastic for Earth’s consumption. Great idea! 🙄

Plastic tits?

Why is she holding a gun and not a frying pan?

So awesome

So what

I like it

They already have:

Cool, just make it realistic and I cany see how anyone would have an issue.

Will they smell Don Lemon's finger?

Cool. Where are the rubber bands?

Now we need this version.

Oh, great. Girls with guns. Don’t we have enough guns?

Because everything in life has to be equal and PC

Time to introduce another gender to the horrors of war.

12 months later: we regret to tell our employees at the toy factory that you're all let go of your job, because the company is now BROKE.

I want attention! I want attention! I’m a liberal! Look at me! 😕

That's great..😊

This is cool as fuckk but doesn’t need a headline or to be praised. We’ve had badass women in action figures for decades

I think that's great. Kids playing with toy soldiers can understand early on that anyone can serve. 🙂

& Travolta

As long as they still burn with that intense black smoke and are able to be strapped to bottle rockets like the old ones.. Fine by me.

The stupid is getting really thick and deep.

Ok. Sure. Go woke

indoctrinating young children into war is okay as long as it's inclusive

oh...

About time! Thank you!

Can’t wait for someone to get angry over toys.

I am glad someone is listening.

Correction, persuasive letter from 6 years old parents And you also forgot to put in the reasons: “to please the feminist masses.

Way to drive your company into the ground. More CNN layoffs to come soon. P.S. you'll find out you are layed off in media articles. Your bosses won't even tell you to your faces

What about transgender and non-binary plastic soldiers?

👏👏👏

But that's a Ukranian fairy tale figure....

Saintsfan5348 Oh no. The anti-pc exaggerators will be livid.

Follow me

Here come insecure men threatened by a toy...

As long as they make the women soldiers physically weaker I’m okay with this

How cool is that!

Oh No Liberals are going to be triggered. Certainly have the six year old evaluated for PTSD and years of therapy in need of transsexuals to read library books to her to flush out the evils in her head and blame Trump for army women.

social justice at its finest lol

Interesting,I just assumed some of them were women. When we played with them I just imagined that half of them were women.When I played with them, I assumed, Or projected female on them. I assumed the girls/females were the ones in charge Because eventually we made Peace&rested.

Hope there won’t be a problem of blowing them with firecrackers along with their male mates. All for the glory of conquering the coveted only water source on the land, the holy yard faucet and sacred hose. (I am guilty of war crimes against plastic soldiers...)

Because so many girls play with Army Men? HAHAHAHA WOKE FAIL.

Pure perfection 💕

Yay, more useless plastic products

so instead of demilitarizing our boys' brains we want to militarize those of our daughters.. what a great accomplishment 😒

The responses on this thread show the problem with this country. Genuinly disrespecting military personnel while sitting on thier fat asses in a dark room with a juergens bottle and some tissues. Its pathetic what 45 has taught people to do. How to abuse the sacrifices made

6 year-old girls will change world.

oh...

Damn, they really had to be persuaded?

But guns and stuff 🤔

Compared to other stupid things, this one's fair.

I wish they had these when I was serving - my kids would have loved these. Better late than never.

That's cool and all but GIJoe had female characters in their toyline as far back as the early '80s.

Can boys have anything at all now? Movies, video games, and now even action figures need to be replaced?

Nice, it may encourage more women to serve. Great idea Pennsylvania toy company. Where can I buy these toys, I’d like to pass them out to pre-schools for the children.

Love it!

Disgusting.

The real news would be when military of all sexes are not among toys

They'll still get melted with a magnifying glass

I hope they’re making it from recycled plastic
