      If I didn't have a 66 Batman already, I'd buy that removable cowl Batman in a heartbeat! Maybe I should ebay the original ones.

      Batgirl does look a little uncomfortable, but I think a change of body will fix that. I have some Doc Mego female bodies put away for that. (That doesn't sound creepy at all.)

          I was under the impression that the Zica Yvonne body won't take a regular female head properly, otherwise I would want to use an Yvonne body as well.

              Maybe it's the picture but Batgirl's face looks too chubby.

                good luck with that, boots won't fit and the head adaptation won't work.

                  I hope Batman comes with the new, longer utility belt. The body really hurts the female figures, in this vase, Batgirl, but minus the ugly legs, Barbara Gordon looks great! And I love removable mask/cowl anything, so I am definitely loving that Batman.

                    you don't know what you're talking about

                    Why wouldn't the boots fit?? seriously....easy fix there

                    and I am figuring a solution for the head to fit the yvonne body and when I do,I'll share it and certainly won't tell you how I did it since you feel you need to be rude on everything I say

                      If your are going to do a body swap out I would suggest trying to find an inexpensive Mattel DC Retro Cheetah.

                      Also very disappointed in the Price hike, $30 a pop, I committed to the 66 line from the Very beginning but they are making it harder and harder on me Justifying $30 a pop for a figure with a crappy body...

                        No kidding right?! I paid 30 bucks for Mr. Freeze and he feels the cheapest of the lot! Loose head and flimsy rubber boots. Looks cool though...

                          While I know it sucks to have to replace the body, Zica's S type body does save the day...

                            the feet are too big for Mego boots. I really don't care about your secrets, either. I'm going to move it over to a Mattel female as I already have done for Harley. The FTC girls are just horrible with those goofy hip joints.

                              The feet can be shortened and shaped to fit...Just wait and see.....I have a plan

                              I thought about the Cheetah body, but it's floppy at the legs and might be too tall...not sure if Batgirl's suit will even fit on it if it's taller.Also, I want "swivel arms" like the S type for better poses.The Cheetah arms only bend at the elbow
