Its just sitting on top of the neck post, it should sit down a bit more to look right. That's a little too giraffe neck. and in your last pic its obvious that the neck is too wide for a Mego head.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

The thing about the Yvonne head itself, is that it is smaller than Dinah's! And her head is tiny compared to the later MegoGal heads.
Oddly enough, the IG girl head seems to be more in scale with this particular chest piece than she does with the FTC body; which is too small by far.
I never understood that about FTC. Bodies that shrink too much, and heads that don't shrink enough.
There is something deeply wrong with that company.JediJaidaComment

This is the second time we've seen the Barbara Gordon from a profile view. I'm growing concern about how this head looks from a full frontal. Batgirl's head is more than a bit big for my taste. While the eyes don't bother me, the mouth does not seem right to me. Perhaps if her jaw-line was greatly reduced? I guess I could always photo-shop my ideas.Comment

The worst part of Batgirl for me is the cape. Her short sexy cape replaced by a cape so long she looks like she's about trip over it. How could FTC not give her a cape of her own instead of a Batman cape hand me down?? Who designed this figure? No way would Yvonne aproove this version. The face is ugly, the cape too long, the belt doesn't fit over her hips as it should. Batgirl is easily the worst figure in the line so far. Hard to believe it took this long to get Batgirl and have her look this bad. It's a disgrace to the show, the fans, and to Yvonne. I am deeply unhappy about this figure. Even the FTC cheerleaders have to be honest here and see that this Batgirl is just ALL wrong. I have never seen a 1966 Batgirl look as bad. Even the cheap bendable or Mattel Batgirl are way better. It's like FTC didn't even try to make her accurate:(Comment

It will look fine once its dressed and won't matter if its a little wide.To have it sit lower,that also can be done if needed to.The neck really is not that long.If I go to far down she'll have a no neck..Batgirls suit and cape ride up her whole neck covering the whole neck...the point made was that it's attached to the ball joint as you basically said couldn't be done.....You just can't deal with the fact that I will pull it off and you guys are bit ridiculous in your critque

don't really care if you pull it off or not, I'm just looking at the pics and its like a square peg in a round hole and they just aren't compatible out of the box. I never understood why the Yvonne body wasn't made mego friendly. The Mattel body works perfectly, same headpeg and the hands interchange.
Plus,Mattel's body isn't perfect,nor better than the yvonne.The Mattel body is too tall and I don't want my Batgirl standing the same height as Batman....If you like floppy legs on your "static" looking retro females figures and that the articulation only bends at the elbow- good for you! My Batgirl will have swivel arms and I will be able to pose her in any pose (especially a running pose like Batman/Robin can do on the Zica body).Worst comes to worse,I'll use the mattel cheetah body,but right now I am going to a much better body for thisLast edited by Teemu; Mar 3, '16, 1:24 PM.Comment

Can you verify that the Batgirl figure you received is different than the prototype figure we've been seeing (and complaining about) on FTC's site? a photo has surfaced that appears to show a much improved Batgirl figure.Comment
