This is where we have to go to get figures of females that look like this these days.
We used to get them all the time back in the 90's and early 2000's, but that time has faded away and our female action figures now must look like undeveloped teen girls with no breasts or hips and also look nothing like the source material (usually comic books) upon which they are based.
Figures like Hasbro's Emma Frost and Black Queen figures from Marvel Legends used to hang on shelves all of the time. Now they can only be released (with small breasts) if they are relegated to exclusives, where no God Fearing parent can complain about them and give Hasbro potential negative press. This is also why we will never see another "Slave" Leia figure from Hasbro ever again.
But, fear not, XesRay Studios has some upcoming figures that circumvent all of that bullshit and evoke a feeling of the good old days of adult figure collecting.
Wave 3 of their Combatants series will feature three new female figures along with two make figures-- who actually wear less clothes than the females, but I'll bet you could put them at retail (right next to He-Man) with no complaints.
This new wave is available for pre-order now at most major online retailers for $64.99 each for the females and $59.99 each for the males, who come with a few less accessories. They are set for a release date of Q4 of this year.
