considering 99% of it's staff are male and 99% of it's stock are plastic figures of men? The only female figures they have are half naked women with a push up bra. Ds is going to an event at the local store tomorrow and the mothers were asked to supply a cake!

Apologies I'm not really into feminism so ignore me if I'm not making any sense.

Games workshop and figurines obviously has its target market of say teenage boys to young adult boys, but of course you're going to get the odd girls that are interested in that sort of thing.

It's like World of Warcraft, it's not necessarily aimed at men but it's men that tend to like playing that sort of game.

Perhaps the reason the staff are 99% male is because the men that apply at the same time as women have more indepth knowledge about the product.

But I'm waffling lol so feel free to ignore me Grin

Yes according to the manager here. Not many to be honest. 25% of the people going into the shop here are female yet only a very small percentage of the stock is aimed at them.
