By 1985, Kenner had long been releasing and continuing to release female characters and Leia variants in its SW action figure line. And Hasbro debuted GI Joe ARAH line, the very toys MASK was to compete with, released with Scarlett. I’m not saying the tendency doesn’t exist, merely that other pressure maybe kept it out. | |

Not an answer, but kryptonsite.com/factfiction.htm mentions that there was a stated intent to release it. | |
