For me, I learned my lesson with wave 1 of this series.
I had waited my entire life (it seems) for Mego styled figures based on the Batman 66 line but when I saw the first released photos, I thought that Robin (Burt Ward) looked more like Jane Hathaway of the Beverly Hillbillies.

I almost didn't buy them but I was glad that I did, once I had them in hand.
They looked much better in person. (my opinion)
I don't think the actual figure looks like Miss Jane, it was either a bad paint job on his lips or just a bad photo.
I was NEVER a fan of female Mego's.
They reminded me of the generic looking dolls that my Sisters would sometimes play with.
Actually, they reminded me of those toilet paper dolls that we'd see in the 70's.

I remember thinking that the company who did the Charlie's Angels figures did a much better job.
Nothing has changed in 40 years, I'm still not a fan of the female Mego figures.
Therefore, I never had high hopes for Batgirl, Barbara Gorden or Catwoman.
Sure, I got excited over that first photo that I posted in this thread because it somehow made the figure look better than any other female Mego type that I'd ever seen.
Now that I know that this isn't going to be the case, I'm back where I started with low expectations.
Yes, it would be fantastic if these figures were miniature, 8 inch versions of Hot Toys type figures but they're not.
So, as long as she's not broken in any way and she can stand up on her own, I'm not going to complain.
it is what it is and they are what they are.
