    My hope is that the belt is large enough to do this.

    That's a good point. Maybe they did a body swap?

    What a vast improvement, the actual figure looks so much better than what FTC is showing.The paint on the lips and eyes are much brighter compared with Barbra Gordon on the Surfs Up series.

    It's possible that FTC sent the right references/prototype over to the factory,maybe a miscommunication? or the factory did what they wanted anyway....seems to happen alot in the toy industry

    I might cut her hair,but worried about losing the body to it at the bottom after the cut

    Definitely would need to swap out the body and those boots...but it isn't a bad start. Baby steps I guess.
    What's with the long Rapunzel-like hair? Is this Batgirl or Medusa from the Inhumans? Get your scissors ready people!

    Imagine if a customizer actually worked for FTC as a consultant.
