(it took me so long to get the green & orange Supergirl to stand on her own I almost ran out of daylight to mow my lawn)Comment

I like the flippity hair.
I actually wish my repro-Supergirl had a better flip... her hair isn't bad but it doesn't have that groovy look to it that the original Mego girls had.
I just can't figure out why this new Supergirl seems so tall, even with heels.
I know the orange and green is on the teen body, but still...
Maybe she comes on the new Giganta body. ^.~Comment

[QUOTE=TRDouble;1366176]A couple of Supergirl comparison pictures for your enjoyment!
Old & New Supergirl:
IMG_8681.jpg/QUOTE]
Can't help it, I see the original Supergirl with the neck sunken in to the torso, and all I can hear is Michelangelo yelling, "I love being a Turtle!!!!"
The new head is the same as their standard Mego repro, though, right? Just slightly different paint apps?Comment

The neck probably accounts for the difference in height; new Supergirl's neck is not sunken into the torso.
I will have to pull out a few of the other FTC female figures and do a comparison of them once I get my replacement Supergirl. I believe Catwoman appears taller because of her neck too.Comment

This is a very nice face sculpt. They did a good job on the whole figure. Why is the face and hair different from the bagged version?!? The first PI you posted, She has a smile and appears a bit "frumpy" for lack of a better word. This one is great. I'll have to get one. thanks for sharing.Last edited by Capt_Kirk; Jun 29, '18, 1:54 PM."May fortune favor the foolish"Comment

I’m afraid so. However, the more suitable head is sold separately for $6 on the CTVT website. :(Last edited by Gramercyplace; Jun 30, '18, 2:56 AM.Comment

I received my replacement Supergirl the other day and finally had the courage to open the box today
I think I will be ordering from Amazon.com from now on, at least the figures, if at all.
On my new Supergirl, the cape is attached, but the "S" is Super crooked. Like...

As a replacement, you'd think they would try and pick one in as perfect shape as possible.
I like the figure overall. The dress variant was a nice idea. But these are too expensive to get crap product. PLUS I paid return shipping, which I will not do this time. And yes, there is a 90% chance this goes back for a refund and I just move on from the figure. At $29.99, I expect better than this for my money. I can deal with the jacked up bodies to a certain degree, but the costumes better be right.
Sheesh! C'mon, FTC, you have to do better!Comment
