This probably isn't as clean cut as you want an example to be but here goes. I leave polishing up to you. A plausible reason for the lack of female character action figures is that coming from the perspective of an Avatar fangirl while there might be female characters the main focus isn't on them and thereforth it would be a bad marketing practice to make action figures out of the female characters because they wouldn't appeal as much. Also it would make plausible sense that the girls would want to buy "dolls" instead of "action figures" and thereforth is the reason why there aren't many female action figures in the market. Think a name up for me my wonderful claimer!!!! You're smart and witty enough.
Of course every Avatar fan I know thinks that not having action figures for Katara, Toph and Suki is complete and utter rubish because all three of them kick ass and are most definitely the Seme's out of the group whereas the guys are the Uke's. *shakes head of the silliness of the marketing "experts:* Really. If they put out a set of female Avatar character action figures they'd probably sell better than the male ones. ZUTARA?!?!? Girl whatcha talking about? It's Kataang. In retrospect that doesn't sound good but it's nearly canon.
