Neat. Does the asterisk in the middle of the word have some significance?  ???

AFAIK, "Held" is male... "Heldinnen" is female plural.. I think.

Now, why they are all women.. no idea.  I want the packaging   :P

If I'm not mistaken, it's an attempt at gender-neutral plural forms.

Anyway, a commendable initiative!

Exactly. It is short for Helden und Heldinnen (or should it be Heldinnen und Helden?)

Well, here too. I am assuming different packaging? Though the pic is the same behind:

If anyone is interested.... I will probably make an order (trying to avoid at the moment, but.. I am weak)
