A 7-year-old Arkansas girl who pleaded with a toymaker to start making a female version of the iconic Green Army Men figurines had her wish granted just in time for Christmas.
At the time, Imel had been thinking about launching female Army figurines but wasn't sure there was enough demand in the market. When he saw Vivian's letter, he decided to make it happen, calling it an"easy response."debuted the first prototypes of the female figurinesThe toymaker hoped to make the figurines available to the public by Christmas, but had to push the launch back to January because of shipping and manufacturing delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking of Vivian, Imel added,"It's incredibly gratifying to see a project that I had been thinking about for years finally come to life when Vivian opened her package of Plastic Army Women."Vivian Lord, 7, plays with the plastic green Army women she asked Scranton, Pennsylvania-based BMC Toys to make.
Lord described her daughter as"wise beyond her years." She hopes more kids are inspired by Vivian to speak up and that more adults are inspired to listen.
