    On the custom that I made for my daughter, Supergirl has the red headband simply because it helps the repro head keep the hairdo in place.

    I like the picture Rich posted.
    It's all good!

      I like the 70's style Mego made, just left of center in the collage picture, but not quite so overwheming in the action figure. But that could work too.

        Well, my preference would be that Retro Action stay within what might have been possible during the time frame of the original Megos, so either:



        or even better:



        would work for me.

          And another thing - I want boots instead of those little clogs. We don't need an accessory on a new figure becoming "rare"!

                    I got this Supergirl about a month ago from the Mattel outlet. I'd like to see something similar but with a red skirt.

                      She looks too much like a stripper. No belly shirt!!

                        The thing about the belly shirt is, I "get" why they put the animated Supergirl in one OVER A DOZEN YEARS AGO! It was in style. It "worked" for the time.

                        As fashion trends creeped back down, this is why Wondergirl's look was fine a few years ago when the fashion trend dictated a covered belly button with some of the midriff showing.


                        Note that these two trends coincided with belly button piercings and lower back tattoos.

                        However, this is the typical style teen girls are wearing now.

                        At least with the periodical comics, with Supergirl, Wondergirl and to some extent Superboy, DC Comics really needs to keep on track with the most current teen fashions. Particularly if they are chasing the mythical teen audience that Young Justice and latest incarnation of the Teen Titans have never really found.

                        I actually really think the Jeans and T-shirt idea is great... they never go out of style, but they need to subtly shift it along with current trends. Slight modifications over time... baggy/tight, low/high waist, belted, patches/rips... god help us Acid Wash seems to be coming back. Just to make them seem current.

                        Supergirl and Wondergirl have always shifted outfits to suit the times. Not a problem, but they need to keep up... otherwise how ridiculous was that Haircut Superboy carried over into the new millenium? Not to mention the Biker Jacket.

                                Yeah, that Superboy outfit is awful. But I really like Connor buzzcut black-T-shirt-and-Jeans Superboy. As a character and as a modern 'less traditional' take on a superhero. I'd be thrilled if we could get mego-sized black T's with a red supes logo on 'em.
