Coming Soon - Silver Age Batgirl from Batman Series 5

Yeah I am rarely impressed by their head sculpts, as I said from the very beginning FTC stands for For The Customizer.. rip the body and head off and use the costume.

Mixed emotions.
I agree with most what was said about the sculpt, but I also find the neck a bit short and the hips a bit "too much".
Not bad, but this could have been better...

[CrimsonGhost]

Could not agree more. So glad someone else sees it.

I'm thinking its a resculpt, the jaw area looks the same.

it's a new sculpt, they both look nothing alike

chin up to the nose match up pretty good. I think its sculpted over the 66 Batgirl.

The top of the head looks narrower over all. The 66 version looks bloated.

Seeing them side by side, they do look like different sculpts. It may just be that Farrow can only do lantern jawed figures with vacant expressions LOL

I still think they are both the same base sculpt, at least for the facial proportions. Regardless, they are both hideous lifeless sculpts.

yep,they look NOTHING alike

[megowgsh]

They look pretty similar to me.

One more time, using Teemu's 1966 Batgirl as a reference instead of the FTC prototype shots...

I am going with similar, but brand new sculpt.

And FTC, The Farrow (if he did it) can do a decent, open mouth female head sculpt. I like this Catwoman, even with the jaw issue:

I think the Batgirl sculpt matches the reference picture it is show with, but that's a 2D picture, not 3D. The translation is too 1:1 and was not sculpted for a 3D model.

I've seen enough prototypes to know that it's worth waiting for a production piece before I make a final call on the quality of the total product. For myself, this happens allot with FTC figures. I'll see the prototype which offers one indication, then the production piece comes in with it's own qualities. Plus FTC, for reasons I've never understood, does not always photograph these figures with a great deal of thought to presentation. So I don't take these early pics as the last word on their appearance.

wonder if she has a rooting hole.
