Where's all the female superhero merchandise?

I'm posting this TED Talk on literally every platform I use, because everything this guy says is spot on.

We're living in a media saturated world that is choosing to show us only what it wants to sell us, and no one is selling the female heroes.

We've got the unfortunate situation where the female characters are being removed or replaced... except for the exceptionally girly crap.  But if we don't vote with our wallets and make a point of buying everything with a girl hero in it (for ourselves as well as our daughters AND SONS), then we won't get anything better.
