Batgirl photos: I don't get it.

[thunderbolt]

^^^ did, but the stupid baby hands look terrible, hair's a wreck, two head holes in a missculpted head, all the leg joints are frozen solid on the body, belt I would have to redo, total slop paint job with paint rubs right off the card, ohh, and a wire is poking thru the cape. I am contemplating sending the whole mess back for a refund. Just an awful figure for 30 bucks.

So I got my Batman 66 Wave 5 today, and how sad. Batgirl's hair is a complete rat's nest, I have no idea how to fix it, it looks like it's been played with and completely ruined. When I took Batman out of his packaging, that molded glove fell off and would not snap back on, the stocking was riding above the molded boot and looked completely ragged. Chief O'hara looked great! Barbra Gordon was ok, the head was flat in the back looked odd. FTC should simplify the designs. Heck, the Batgirl original Mego version painted purple would have been better than this Batman 66 Batgirl. The hair is embarrassing to look at. So sad. I wanted so much to like these figures, but I can not lie.

Gloves falling off is an easy fix....just pull out the peg and re-position it to stick out further in the socket so the glove will pop on

^^ I tried brushing it out and it just won't straighten out. Also brushed out a lot of loose hair.

Did you swap her on a new body yet?

I'm with you on the Barbara Gordon figure. While overall I was actually pleased with how they did her, and the likeness isn't all bad, her misshapen head is kinda strange.

You were 5 and it was 1976.

Not True!
I turned 8 in 1976.

I've got loads of Barbie pumps that will fit, and they look loads better than the CTVT shoes.

Yes, but I look at it this way,... Remember as kids and after a weeks worth of play and Batman, Robin and Superman's emblems would fall off and we couldn't fix it? I once tried drawing them on with a magic marker and just made it look worse. At least I can fix this issue.

This was an issue for me too.
I used small pieces of double sided scotch tape on the bottoms of her feet to keep them on.

I used to little dabs of poster putty/quake putty in each shoe. Barbara's shoes are not coming off!

So one more thing the customer has to fix.

she just cant keep her shoes on ,like Loise lane her feet are made for the high heels.which
probably should have been made to fit better to stay on

I wonder how much the cost of getting Yvonne Craig's likeness has pushed FTC to recoup some of that cost by pushing product. I know people have been waiting for Craig figures, but Batgirl and Barbara in the same series, Surf's Up Barbara, Toycade Wedding Dress Barbara exclusive... That's hitting the use of the likeness hard. It's seems like it is either recouping cost as fast as possible, or there is a limited window that FTC can use Craig's likeness.

You're not the only person I've heard that from. I can only say, I'd wish they slow production a bit and do some tweaking.

I'm with you. I won't rant and rave anymore about THIS figure but I for one would have rather waited an extra 6 months, even more, and gotten a really great sculpt that didn't have these issues.

If they can't fix QC this far into the DC production it means they can't afford to.
