I've heard a lot of collectors griping about this new Batgirl Digital release, but I'll be the first to say that I am a fan. I understand the arguments. Sure, it's a simple redeco of a figure we've seen three times already. And, yes, there have been improvements in the McFarlane line in the five years since she was first released. The fanbase especially seems to love the newer wired capes. But the dynamically-sculpted short cape on this figure really appeals to me so I'm happy to see it again. I'm especially happy when a Batgirl figure is produced in the trifecta of Barbara Gordon colors: Gray, Black, and Purple. It isn't rare for this to happen (Batgirls from McFarlane Batman '66, Spinmaster 4", and Imaginext all come to mind), but I love all three color outfits so it's very satisfying to complete the trio with a sculpt I like so much. This final year of McFarlane DC product is off to a very interesting start and I can't wait to see what's next. The multiple Poison Ivy rumors are especially intriguing. Let's check out Batgirl below!
Batgirl some with a batarang, a grappling hook gun, two collector cards, and a figure stand.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Batgirl with two of her earlier redecos: Three Jokers in Black and Batman Family in Gray.
And here they are with the Jokerized version added. I kept this separate because it's so non-canonical.
But these are the four redecos of this figures.
Cheers!
