[QUOTE="Feeroper, post: 9338639, member: 83317"] I think this situation is a real shame. WK & WotC had an opportunity to do a mini out of one of the many iconic female characters from throughout D&D's history. By purposely choosing to take this action, and clearly look to incite a large portion of the fanbase (yes there will be some who take their outrage too far, but being unhappy about this is not an inappropriate action), simply to get that attention is truly disingenuous. It makes me less likely to trust other actions these companies might take (nevermind the OGL crisis last year from WotC). At the end of the day, one can simply choose not to purchase from this set, or support said companies with little to no impact to yourself. I am more upset that this action from WK/WotC screams to be more community [I]destructive[/I] as opposed to community building, and this hobby thrives on a vibrant community. I will go back to my initial point - WK & WotC had an opportunity to do a mini out of one of the many iconic female characters from throughout D&D's history, which I believe would have been celebrated and loved by the majority of the fans. Alas, a missed opportunity to cash in on the current day social media feeding frenzy. It is what it is. Well, looking on the brighter side, I hope you all have great gaming to look forward to!
