Kitbashed Batgirl

[Jrfjr126rock]

I really wanted a great Batgirl to display with my Batman and who knows when Mego will be able to push out one in their 8” scale so I decided to customize my own.

I liked the FTC head a lot just hated her body and the weird forearm design they did for some of their females.

I used a Mattel body with some Plumber’s tape and some modding to the neck as the neck was too long at first. I also switched out her grey costume for the black one and added yellow gloves.

I really like the Mattel female bodies. The look better than that "O" ring in the old Mego bodies and ther feet fit in with the shoes/boots better that the Yolanda figures.

After saying this, I really like how your Batgirl turned out. She really does look better than what is out there.

Very nice! I really like the costume. The head goes good with the style of the MEGO Batman. Great Job!

Yeah I think FTC nailed the head out of the park. I think its better than the 14" Mego one too.

Great job, I also prefer the black costume to the grey, yellow gloves on the black outfit really pop out.

Also because of those weird sculpted forearms the grey outfit didn't have long sleeves enough for the gloves to cover.

Good looking kitbash.

She looks good! What costume did you use; the repro costume, or your own?

I have Batgirl on my list of figures to mod & improve. I want to use the female hero plug-in gloves. I wanted to use new boots too, but your re-use of the boots look good, so I might just do that.

Nice job!

I got the female plug gloves but it didn't come with pegs so I don't know what you can use to plug them in. I used the black separate Batgirl costume from CTVT.

Thanks! Yeah, I asked FTC why my female plug-in gloves were missing the pegs. My response was that they do not come with them... ?!? But I have a few female dolls with peg hands when they were giving them away as free gifts with certain order amounts, so I should be good with those.

Check your local hobby store for wood or plastic dowels - they make rods small enough that with some trimming you can make your own pegs.
