The Flash‘s Iris West, Candice Patton, is out here on the internet calling out truths. Under her ponytail. The latest truth bomb came from Patton delivering some well-deserved shade at Funko! for releasing their new line of Flash pops, which doesn’t include a single female character.
Look at all these men 🌚 https://t.co/wfRd9Xy1WP

She adds in a second tweet “Missed opportunity for some kickass female characters on the show. Next time?

There honestly shouldn’t have to be a next time. Felicity has a damn pop, as well as Sara Lance in her Black Canary costume, while there is still no pop for Iris or Caitlin/Killer Frost after being leads for several seasons. Funko constantly has this problem of forgetting major female characters to give us six alternates of the same damn design. I love you Funko, but really, get it together.
