It's not that the figures were "girly;" it's that they were gaudy, cheap and cheesy with the choice of soft goods and other non-plastic parts. And those pieces would look even worse if done in plastic. On that count, I think they've done a good balancing act, although adding a few extra details like BP She-Ra got on her wristbands and boots is something I wouldn't mind seeing a bot more of just to jazz the characters up a bit.
But I have to agree that shortchanging Netossa as far as accessories go was a bad move, especially given that slea were already down last year and TG and the great papier mache head had made such a big deal out of the price increase being necessary to prevent the shaving of accessories and such. To have one of the first figures shown suffering from the same old accessory depletion (and one of the worst cases in a while, to boot) basically told everyone considering a sub that this year would be business as usual, belying the earlier claims about the advantages of the price hike. Yet another in the long line of bad choices with this line...
