Hmmm. I will be paying attention to this one for sure.

[thunderbolt]

so, Batgirl, Catwoman, Two-Face andddd?? Maybe a updated Joker or Robin? Corrected Batman? Hope to see that final 66 wave soon with Julie Newmar.

Looks like the same gloves as the 1966 Batgirl.
I really wish that they'd use molded gloves.

Yeah, its the same crappy design. The hands flop around and the bunched up sleeves look terrible.

In my opinion she is thee best Batgril I have ever seen! May have to get this one

[MIB41]

Not bad! I'll be interested to see the production version. I hope this means we get a Silver age Robin...the Teen Wonder.

[ovenmitt]

Nice! Batgirl was always my favorite 8" Mego female and I really like this updated Version!

So Batman wave 5 is

Batgirl
Catwoman
Two Face
Poison Ivy?

I also want an updated 8' Robin the Teen Wonder, I read his and Batgirl team ups in 1970s Batman Family! Updated Joker, Penguin, etc.

I'd like updated other DC like Superman and Supergirl!

And, yes we need Batman 66 TV wave 6 with Julie Newmar Catwoman! Maybe we can finally get Com. Gordon, too!

The face sculpt is a little jowl-ly, but otherwise it looks good.

Not bad. And you know a black costume variant isn't far behind.

Yes... something about that mouth/jaw... and it makes the whole face look like she's surprised---or something----can't figure it out.

But, no mistake, I like this figure overall----

I know it says this is a "Silver Age" figure, but that looks like "definitive Batgirl" to me, despite me always focusing on "Bronze Age" as my preference.

Interesting. Something seems off with it though. The face needs to be more narrow at the cheeks to the chin. I wish they used molded gloves too, or create plug-in female gloves. I am sure they can get some use out of them. Hope to see the full figure soon, with the boots.

EDIT: There is a full figure picture in the Mego Newsletter. It looks better to me seeing the whole figure and the new boots, and while the head is acceptable, it definitely could have been better. The cape material looks the same as Series 4 Batman. Boots seem a little short for this version of Batgirl too, but I guess I am getting nit picky now. A new belt would have been nice too; Batgirl did not have a belt pouch in this costume, did she? I hope they fixed the hair length from the '66 Batgirl, which was too long.

What's with the lantern jaws on the female characters, and that blank expression with slightly open mouth? It looks like they have adenoids. Very disappointed.

[wise guy]

Not liking the giant head I hope it's just the pic

[Remco Monster]

Horrible head sculpt. I'll pass.
