PG's current look is pretty much her original look with some added "realism" to her boots gloves and costume in general. Zippers, flaps, lines in her body suit.
She's had so many variations on her white/red/blue suit it ain't funny. Anything beats her JLE yellow and white jazzercise suit and that god-awful Arion-inspired number with the diamond shape peep-hole. Blech.
Yeah; the comic cover is how I picture her too. I remember in years gone by she was always drawn somewhat girly. Made sense; since she was usually portrayed as being younger than most heroes. Not a fan of the ripped version. Too much like EVERYONE ELSE in comics. Didin't like the JLI super-macho version either.
I have a friend who's a HUGE (some might say "pathological") PG fan. He liked her since he was a kid, 'cos she seemed more accessible than the other heroes. Guys like Superman are almost godlike; which is intimidating, and guys like Batman were too... er... "focussed" to be approachable. Power Girl seemed like someone it'd be cool to hang out with. (Batman can be pretty scary when you're 8.)
I DO like the head sculpt on the 13" one. I'd boof out the hair more though. Maybe if I get around to a Mego scaled one.... (I'd probably put her on a 7" body.)
The "original" Costume reappeared in the current DCU in the JSA

Of coarse there were a half dozen different artists going through JSA around this time, so citing who actually brought back the costume is hard to say... for all we know it could have been Geoff Johns or David Goyer who requested it. Or Editorial.
As someone else mentioned Alex Ross brought back this costume much earlier in the pages of Kingdom Come during the nineties.
Always love a good Power Girl thread---if those Jaime pix don't
represent a great Power Girl, I don't know what would, eh screw it,
I just think she's great regardlesss!
