    The only issues I have with the bodies are the lack of a twist and turn waist, the knock kneed stance, and the overly muscular thighs.

    Are they held together with rubber bands? Or are they peg bodies?
    the legs are rubber bands to the torso, arms are plastic joints. Mattel would have been so better off ditching the rubber bands altogether. I moved a Harley FTC over to a Mattel body and its a lot better, I just need to shorten the sleeves a little and tighten them up. The Mego style female body needs to be sent to the cornfield.

        Like someone said, it's unrealistic to compare a talented customizer's work with a factory produced item, but if FTC's Batgirl looked even half as good as this it would be a monster seller!
        A truly incredible figure I'd love to (be able to afford!) own.
