Batgirl photos: I don't get it.

[lilbrosj66]

I don't even know where to begin, Part 1: This figure has to be the BEST WORST figure FTC has ever put out! From taking her out of the box, to opening her, through checking her over and seeing what needed fixing to making adjustments as best I could to get her ready for display, I will let the pictures tell the story. And aside from this I got a full set of this wave of Batman 66 INSTEAD of the Superfriends Wave2 that I ordered!

What's up with that second hole in the back of her head?

What's up with that second hole in the back of her head?

I can only guess that the original neck hole, which looks to be the one in the back of the head, under her hair, wasn't supposed to be that far back so they (the factory?) cut/melted a new hole under her chin. The other Batgirl 66 figure I got is the same so I assume that they all may be like that. Between this issue, the fact that the body refuses to stand straight, the sloppy sewing, loose left elbow, rough sculpt (Whoever did the head sculpt for this figure should be shown the door immediately!) and overall shoddy workmanship, I am just amazed and so so very disappointed. And the really surprising thing about all of this? Her head isn't as freakishly large as I had thought it was going to be!

I can't remember if I read it here or on Facebook but someone had posted that you could easily adjust the length of her hair.
(No need to cut it) I assumed they meant that it could be pulled or pushed.
Could that have something to do with the hole?
Maybe to pull the hair in shorter with a tweezers or something?

No. These aren't fashion dolls that come with "magic grow" hair. This was shoddy workmanship and nothing more. As for her Medusa like hair, the first thing I did was giver her a haircut. Sorry. I'm just so amazed and irritated that at this stage in the game, we are still putting up with and getting end product with these issues.

Is that an extra hole in her head?!? 😳

Wow.

[lilbrosj66]

It is indeed. No words.

Some look decent, some look horrid.

Absolutely. It's shameful, actually. I can only say, personally, if I'd been responsible for presenting to my customers a '66 Batgirl figure, and knowingly shipped it thusly with two "neck" holes for whatever reason, I'd be ashamed. Wouldn't my company and its products be a personal reflection on me, the entrepreneur?

Let's say that the extra hole was originally intended for a ponytail-like swatch of hair, and then rooting was chosen. So what? Do the right, not the expedient, thing, FTC.

Varied scales--good enough? Off-model heads--good enough? Off-model clothes--good enough?

When is enough, enough? And no, the solution is not voting with our wallets. The solution is FTC demonstrating both vision and integrity. They should strive for it; we as potential customers deserve it.

There is such a thing as a recall, eh? Even making a reworked Batgirl head available at a nominal price would be a step in the right direction. Something, anything instead of this glib "take what you get and like it."

Sorry, I'm ticked.

Well said!

Yikes! That extra neck hole is just ridiculous. Very surprising that something like that was allowed to fly. I think I better go check my Wonder Twins over a little better now just in case.

The extra hole was probably so the factory could plug in the hair properly

Just curious, but has anyone commented about this figure directly to FTC on their website? Do reps from the company ever check these boards? I'm just wondering because it seems to me that FTC isn't getting the message about recurring issues--or perhaps they're just ignoring customer concerns (which doesn't make sense).
