LEGO’s New Line of Female Superheroes Is the Toy We Deserve

Every child loves LEGOs. If your kid also happens to be a comic book fan, then their world is about to get a lot more fun, because LEGO is creating a new line with female superheroes called DC Super Hero Girls! Can we get a heck yes?



So, what’s the deal? LEGO uses some of the most iconic DC superheroes and super-villains and reinvents them as students at Super Hero High. According to LEGO, the line will feature 11 female DC characters, including Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Bumblebee, Flash, Eclipso, Lena Luther, Lashina, and Mad Harriet. This is the first “girls only” group aside from “Princesses” and “Friends.” This is monumental for the toy industry–and definitely something that has been long-awaited. - Joanna Valente

Would you get one of these for your daughter or son?  Do you think that toys like this will really make a difference and help to alter perceptions of gender roles?

    Kate, I agree with you.  Pink Lego, for example?  Don't get me started on that!   However, I think that in order to help alter perceptions, these particular figurines should not be seen as girls toys only - as the article stated; ''It’s important for kids–boys and girls–to see that women can be totally badass, fight crime, and do all sorts of cool things–things that are not just “reserved” for men.''


    A lot of parents will see these and think 'girls only' but I don't think that is the sole aim of releasing this line.
