The toy company behind the Plastic Army Women project says the tiny, female troops will be ready to deploy in time for the holidays
BMC Toys started taking pre-orders for the soldiers earlier this week, and they are expected to ship in October.The female soldiers will look familiar to anyone who's fought pitched, backyard battles with the figures or watched the Toy Story movies.The Army women will have 15 different poses.The designs are still being finalized, according to the company's website.
BMC Toys owner Jeff Imel has been thinking about making the toys for a while and even made sketches for prototypes with his sister in 2018. He said a female retired Navy sailor convinced him that there might be a market for the toys.In August, a 6-year-old named Vivian Lord sent him a letter, which encouraged him to take the next step.Vivian wrote toy companies and asked them to make female soldiers."[Please] can you make army girls that look like women," Vivian wrote.
