    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.

    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.
    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

    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

    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 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.

    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

    Now that I've seen it in person, I can agree.

    I'll get it. And probably the Wonder Woman figures as they come out as well. I've waited too long for these to be stubborn about it.

    But there are a limited number of figures that I'll take that attitude on.

    I draw the line at Martian Manhunter. His head is comically huge! The only cure for that one is to replace his head completely. It would not even look in scale on the muscle body.

    Okay, my wave 5 arrived about an hour ago.

    Hands down, I think that O'Hara is the best figure in this wave, I really like him.
    My opinion, Barbara is the worst.
    I didn't like the fact that her shoes won't stay on.
    Easy fix with small pieces of double sided scotch tape.

    Removable cowl Batman is fine.
    Since they never appeared like this on the show, I'm thinking of removing the capes and getting them some bathrobes and sun glasses to make them look like Adam & Burt relaxing off set.

    Okay, Batgirl,...
    I don't think that I'll make any friends with this post because I don't think that she's as bad as some others do.
    Yes, there is an extra hole in the back/bottom of her head BUT you don't see it unless you look for it.
    The belt, another easy fix.
    The hair can be brushed too.
    My biggest issue was that Batgirl (and Barbara) were both stiff in the knees.
    I had to take a hair dryer to them to loosen the knee joints.

    I don't want these figures to get ruined so I don't play with them and I try not to handle them all that much.
    If you do play with your figures, I can see why you might be upset but if you just pose and display them, you shouldn't have too much of a problem.
    (just my opinion).

    Again, I wish that they would have done Batgirl's gloves like they did with the Jayna figure.
    I saw online where someone bought the Jayna figure so that he could use the gloves with Batgirl.
    I don't think that I care to go that far.
    I can live with the way it is, I suppose.
