Recently, Star Wars movie number seven came to theaters all around the United States. With great movies like this one, come many toys and merchandise for the movie. You’d think they would make toys out of all the main characters right? Well they did not. One of the main characters from the movie Rey, was the only main character who did not have that many toys made of her, even though she was the most demanded. The creators claimed that they had plenty of toys planned for Rey, but many believe that this is all just gender-biased, and that the girl toys are not as important as the boy toys. For example in the article “Asleep at the switch? “Force Awakens” heroine missing from toy line” it says,”The company wanted to avoid giving away a key plot point where Rey picks up the lightsaber wielded by Finn in order to duel new baddie Kylo Ren.” The people buying the toy would not have anything from the movie spoiled from a toy like this, because they obviously just think it is a toy for fun and the lightsaber is just added for better effect.
