Quoted from MegaFeenix:

One thing that is frustrating about this hobby is how a male audience is targeted seemingly alone.

Really. What do u expect exactly for these companies to make a pin geared towards woman and suffer a massive loss so u feel included? Come on.

Quoted from dung:

You aren't going to have a meaningful number of women on the business end unless you have a meaningful number interested in the product to begin with. This screams of wanting diversity for the sake of diversity. No one is excluding women from pinball, but you can't force it on people just because you want it that way.

The worst part is if u have 100 people up for the job and 10 are woman but u have to have 5 woman and 5 men its impossible to get the best people for the job. Its plain to see that this system has produced lack lustered results.

Quoted from javagrind888:

My wife would go nuts and I'm sure she's not the only one.

Ok 5? Limited edition my Little Pony #5 of 5. No other models available.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

A Furiosa or updated Dolly Parton machine sounds like money in the bank to me.

That's absolutely ridiculous. Do really believe a Dolly Parton pin would do well?

Quoted from TreyBo69:

Men and women are raised and treated differently and it manifests everywhere. Some of it is unjust and some of it is what it is.

Horseshit. Even in our primate cousins, when presented with a series of toys like dolls trucks etc. The males always go for the trucks or more mechanical toys and the females to the dolls. In the Scandinavian countries which posses the highest level in the way of equalitarian rights the differences between men and women increased, not the other way around to most peoples surprise. What I see is.................Nope, I'll get ejected.

Quoted from Rarehero:

It already exists. Sold over 7000 units.

In the 70's, try it today and see what happens. Who's buying a Dolly Parton for their home collection? Well besides u maybe.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

It’s some sort of twisted, “white man’s burden” shit going on.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Can you ever have a conversation without tossing in an insult?

I'd have no interest in Dolly Parton, that's irrelevant. Who buys pins? People who have a strong nostalgia or love for a pinball's theme. Dolly's fans are extremely passionate.

Yeah when it doesn't warrant an insult. U made a smart alec response, somewhat insulting in itself, eluding I didn't know about the Dolly pin from the 70's and its success even though the post I was responding to said "Updated" Dolly. There's almost zero market for a Dolly pin today. So what's the insult, that u might one? Strange u defend it and yet are offended that I state u might want one. Did that go the way u thought? Nope.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:Everybody loves Dolly. She’s an icon with broad generational and demographic appeal just like the “old man band” themes that always sell.

What?

Zeppelin. Maiden. Metallica. Aerosmith. AC/DC Mmmmmm I missing something in my music pin line up. Oh wait I know what I need. "Dolly"

Come on man.
