Batgirl photos: I don't get it.

[lilbrosj66]

The whole Batgirl thing is being way over blown.....you guys want Mego-ish type figures and yet you want "Hot Toys" looking 8" Mego figures for $30

Batgirl is a good figure and gets better with a body swap.She is no different then the rest of what FTC has been putting out and yet you guys still buy that

I, and many others, are not demanding Hot Toys quality (though some of the Batman 66 Figures have come close and for that I am thankful). What we are asking for is a figure that doesn't have frozen knee joints (which more than one of mine has), sloppy sculpts with no consistency as to size, loose elbow joints, hems that are partially sewn, holes melted in heads to correct bad sculpts and bodies that won't keep a pose (virtually every FTC female figure and/or body I have). Is that too much to ask for in exchange for my $30? I don't think so. I don't have a single original Mego figure that had any of these issues on the scale FTC figures do and they were all manufactured with 40+ year old technology and materials. And they are still holding up today.

Could the 2nd hole have been their way to "fix" the bobble head issues? By setting the head further down on the neck? Either way, it fixed nothing.

The up-close pics of the sculpt show some Yvonne Craig in there. She's there somewhere. I see more Craig than I do of Burt Ward in the initial Robin sculpt. But then there are all the other issues. That hole is inexcusable.

I am glad that people who actually own the figure are beginning to talk about it. I got the figure yesterday. before that I saw some of those horrible looking photos posted and was beginning to be concerned. Both Batgirl and Barbara Gordon are fine and good likenesses of Yvonne Craig. My two cents on the second hole in her head, One it's not even noticeable, i didn't even know about it until I saw the pictures as it is a very small hole covered by her hair. And two, My guess is it was originally there to run her hair through under her cowl, but because the hole is so small and narrow it probably didn't look right so they stitched it out of the back which I don't have a problem with since it is set low to where it should be.

The second hole was for the factory plugging in the rooted hair...you can clearly see this when looking at it

It had nothing to do with "bobble head" issues because she has none

Plus,You can't see the second hole anyway once dressed etc

Seems what you are mostly complaining about are the FTC bodies...you are right! They Suck! Those bodies clearly hurt the look and feel of the figures...FTC needs to make them better,but they won't

Looks like she is trying to take a dump in this picture or suffering from constipation, possible taking a leak as well. Lol

OMG! Yes!

I'm with you on the cape. No issue with it at all. And overall, her costume is nice as well. Great fabric and nice color. I'm even ok with the boots. Would I have liked them a bit taller with a smaller heel? Sure. But I like what they did with them regardless.

Please don't speak for me, I've never asserted wanting "Hot Toys" Megos, nor have I grumbled about (rising) pricing.

And yes, we still buy these sometimes shoddy figures--I'm sure FTC is thrilled at that,

What? Why? Dolls for decades have featured rooted hair in myriad configurations, including mohawks. Mego not to mention Mattel, Dollikin, etc, churned out thousands of female dolls with "normal", traditional heads & necks. But FTC cannot? Come on... It's cool that you're pleased with the toy, but customers expressing reasonably objective concerns don't deserve to be demonized.

Funny, other heads are rooted just fine with one hole.

It seems to me this is how FTC designed the figure.You can't see the hole underneath so I don't understand the fuss.Her hair is suppose to shoot out from the under the cowl.Maybe that is the only way they were able to do it? I don't mind the objective concerns at all,I rip on FTC too,but people calling this figure a pile of crap...makes no sense to me at all

like Batgirl's? where the hair is suppose to come out from under the cowl?
