What, no love for Mary Marvel??

I like the masks to be removable for the Super Gals. I can take the molded mask for the guys but hate it on the girls for some reason. Don't get me wrong I love the original mego Catwoman and Batgirl but if they had removable masks I'd love them more.

I say Mera would be a Great choice and Yes she has returned as a popular DC heroine thanks to Blackest Night and Brightest Day. I'd love a Black Carnary and Powergirl too and Hawkgirl would be nice.

More of the Bad Gals would be cool. How about the Silver Swan? She'd be cool. Wonder Woman fans would buy them up like crazy, even the one's not currently buying the line.

Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) is my favorite female hero...I'll be buying several of her regardless of which direction they go!

If you can devise a way for a Batgirl cowl to fit and display as well as Batman, I'll enthusiastically purchase one

I generally prefer removable masks. It adds way more play value. My kids love them. It also oopens doors for accessory sets.

See, I agree and I don't think I'm getting in trouble by saying that, as a default, we're always going to removable mask first for that very reason. This is why I've been digging deep into this issue with this board. If it becomes a 50/50 split, you know which side we'll lean toward. I hope that doesn't make too many folks here angry...

However, Hawkgirl (and Hawkman) would probably be better suited for a removable. The current one has fairly short hair anyway.

Yeah, Hawkgirl is the one female figure that I think could get away with a removable mask, because her hawk-mask is rather bulky and helmet-like to begin with, even when depicted in the comic. It might be the only way to get the figure in the blister!





I would rather see Shayera in a tank top rather than a belly shirt though... more Silver Age-y.

How can they remake something they haven't made in the first place? I'm for them giving us their versions of Batgirl, Supergirl and Catowman. And actually I'd like them to add Black Canary, Mera, Power Girl and Zatanna while they are at it.

I want my Batgril with a COMPLETELY removable mask. I love the Mego but I HATE the molded part of the mask with the helmet sitting over it. Drives me NUTS! I plan on casting a new mask with the full face section.

The more, the merrier. Certain fiures may not work with them but BG would for sure.

I just wanted to second this opinion. The Brian Leitner Catwoman/Batgirl heads look great with the molded cowl, rooted combo. That style would be my pick. I'm still regretting being too out of money to buy the ones he had at Mego Meet.

However, Hawkgirl (and Hawkman) would probably be better suited for a removable. The current one has fairly short hair anyway.

I guess the materials have come a long way since the seventies, but the Mego version always looked too "clunky helmet" for my liking.

I think a molded cowl (like the Cheetah) would make the head look sleeker like a feminine head should compared to a male that can get away with the bulk of a removable cowl.

Even the Tonner couldn't quite pull it off IMHO (especially with that lovely flow of red hair underneath).

The two Barbie Batgirls got the feminine silhouette, but the soft material of the cowl just looks too "floppy", particularly the ears.

Plus this one never quite sat right on the head with the bulk of the hair underneath either, again clunky from the not-head on angles.

I've been working on Catwoman customs using Brian Leitner's Catwoman head that has a molded cowl, but rooted hair in the back, and to me this is the most ideal solution. Brian's stuff (below) for some reason has always felt the most "Mego-ey" to me.

Even when he does a contemporary version of Catwoman

Batgirl ....supergirl.....catwoman are must haves for the retro line...hawkgirl would also make me very happy too (I think we will see hawkman at some point)
As for batgirls hair and cowl...how about a Barbara gordon head with short molded hair and a removable cowl with red hair rooted to it...that could work

[Krypt0nite]

I like the removable cowl on Batman--it's the best execution of the concept I've ever seen in mass market, and displays beautifully. That said, I'm concerned about how the cowl would work over rooted hair. The Batman cowl works fine because it is tight around Bruce's head, especially if the cape is placed over it. I just don't see any way that a cowl will work as well over a full head of rooted hair--especially after it's taken off once or twice.

[Mod Style]

I don't have a problem with the Batman removable cowl, so I wouldn't mind one for Batgirl too




Damn right

If they could work some of the kinks out of that Barbie cowl, it would work for me.

[Krypt0nite]

I don't know---I think Mera is more popular now than she'e been in years due to Blackest Night.

[huedell]

I'm reallllllly hoping for MERA.

She's not as popular as she once was... but dang I just really wanna
upgrade my MERA custom!
