I wonder if the box has any more pictures of her? What little bit of the costume we can see in this picture looks really neat, but I know action figures in the past haven't got all the details right (for example what appears to be a hair piece? that clearly isn't on the toy). I'm looking forward to seeing her in the movie, even if I have to wait until next year. Perhaps I'm remembering this wrong, but I could swear I read a statement by Tolkien somewhere that elves didn't really assign "jobs" based on gender but on the individual's aptitude (with the additional note that women usually gave up war-like occupations upon having children as it wasn't compatible with the nurturing required). Based on that, I don't see what the huge fuss about her is. That said though, I really can't remember where I read that, so I might be remembering it wrong or it may have been incorrectly attributed to Tolkien wherever I did see it. Even if it's not "pure" Tolkien, I still think it's a neat idea.
