- Yeah, because you're going to homage a toy that's coming out concurrently as part of a mass media franchise push.
- The truth of the matter is that the Kre-O team didn't know Ripclaw was supposed to be female during development of the set, which I learned when I talked to the marketing liaison to the Kre-O design team at Toy Fair 2013; he learned that Ripclaw was female from me.
