There ’s a discrete lack of Black Widow toys on shelves for Age of Ultron , but that ’s not a newfangled job . I be intimate it . You know it . Now even Mark Ruffalo , Bruce Banner himself , knows it .

Ruffalo — who ’s been on a axial motion lately when it comes todealing with the common sexuality meaninglessness that come with the celebrity world — took to twitter recently to implore Marvel for more toy featuring Black Widow for his female family members :
.@Marvelwe need more#BlackWidowmerchandise for my daughters and nieces . Pretty please .
— Mark Ruffalo ( @MarkRuffalo)April 29 , 2015
He was nice about it , of course . You would n’t like him when he ’s angry .
But it also kind of go to show how debatable the merchandising of female superheroes has get . In the dateless deluge of Avengers toys , clothes , cups , whatever merchandise that ’s out there , there ’s nowhere near the amount of stuff sport Black Widow compared to the likes of Cap , Thor , Iron Man and Hulk — and even less for the picture show ’s other primary female case , Scarlet Witch . These are n’t minor characters , they ’re huge , important part of the movie . They deserve to have more product excogitate that importance .
When even your own movie stars are begging for you to get better theatrical for distaff characters on the toy shelves , something ’s definitely not right .
