Yeah, he was a lot later than my time with the toys - only know about him since I've been looking back into the range with a view to not starting a collection of them ever. Honest. I'm not.
I find it weird how Sorceress wasn't a figure for ages, despite being a major character. Got to love Man at Arms, Beastman, MerMan et al! Making me nostalgic just looking at them there and imagining them punching each other with the twist action mega punch waists! So I'm going to stop looking now, before I log onto eBay.

No need to log into Ebay, good buddy. I've got loads of figures going cheap right here that aren't the ones you just mentioned
Ooooo..The Sorceress is a figure now?!! She's hot. Got to get her. Rude not to.

Back then Steve they thought no kid wanted to play with female toys which is why Arcee, Galadria and Virulina were never made into toys for the Transformers and Visionaries ranges.

Padme came out years later and the sexist approach to female figures oddly only applied to the ones I mentioned I read about each one on wiki obviously the relevant author got their info from somewhere.
