    TV Batgirl ...now customized the way it should have looked

    IMO,...this is how at least she would have been made to appeal to collectors. I rerooted the sides of her hair, cut it at correct length (once hair is rooted on the sides of the cowl, the head looks less big), rearranged her cape/collar ( theres no easier way to make the cape as short as it should be,..but at least a piece at her cape was removed at the top around her neck, to make it more wider around the neck and a bit shorter,....) and made belt strap longer in same gold material to rest on her hips.
    We shouldnt be doing this,..but its the only way for us collectors to display her the way she was on TV........what do you think?

                      Looks great! I've never rooted hair before but I looked it up. Looks like something I could do. Did you already have red hair on hand? Or did you cut it and then use what you cut off?

                      I'm also thinking of using sculpy to plug the extra head hole.

                      After looking at the Wonder Twins figures, I'd really like to replace Batgirl's gloves with Jayna's when I replace her body. I'm starting to think 66 Batgirl is going to be a major project to get the figure I want.

                      At this point I'm wondering if they will do a second release with some of these issues fixed.
