00c1445882cac22ec437fd37b8d93675_originalHeroMe is back again, and this time, they’re bringing girls with them. The toy company that allows children to make their own, custom superheroes is launching an online campaign to introduce female superheroes to their line.

HeroMe allows children to go online and design their own superhero by selecting one of five different heads and one of ten different super powers including helicopter arms, super-strength arms, cheetah-quick legs, and frog-jumping legs. Each HeroMe Action Figure also comes equipped with a reusable rocket ship box and a HeroMe Handbook, where children are encouraged to create their superhero’s their own personal story.

After its launch less than six months ago, HeroMe decided it was time to take it to the next step by bringing female superheroes into the mix. The new line now includes female heads and female torsos to go along with the existing 10 superpowers for the figures. HeroMe is responding to the demand for strong, positive female superheroes.

HeroMe’s Kickstarter campaign will run through Friday, June 26 and the funds raised will cover design, safety testing, production and shipment costs for the new female superheroes. Kickstarter donations start at $1 and prizes include stickers, t-shirts, gift codes, and a tour of the HeroMe warehouse. In addition to those rewards, for every $100 pledge, HeroMe will send a gift certificate to the donor and one of the company’s pediatric healthcare partners, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Jacksonville, Nemours Specialty Children’s Clinic, or Wolfson Children’s Hospital.
