Remake remaining Super Gals!

[ovenmitt]

Retro Action Wonder Woman looks well WONDERFUL! Now we need the remaining Mego Super Gals *ALL with ROOTED HAIR like WW of course!

Supergirl- Classic Matrix comic book costume or Helen Slater movie costume (withOUT yellow trim on boots) is my FAVE!

Batgirl- Classic Barbara Gordon! I prefer GREY bodysuit but BLACK is fine, too! Removebale cowl with mask attatched (not molded to face like Mego) and RED PURSE!

Catwoman- Classic purple skirt and green cape with removeable cowl and whip accessory!

I wish Supergirl had been in Wave 4 before Martian Manhunter! Pair Supergirl with Bizarro or Brainiac!

Batgirl and Catwoman need to be in Wave 5 with ROBIN and Joker!

There is a case where a padded suit would really work!

No belly shirt on Supergirl, unless it's a Matty Exclusive variant. I'd kind of like to see the puffy blouse and hotpants, but I'm thinking the red skirt is the most iconic and timeless.

As much as I have great love for the purple dress and green cape Catwoman, I think Mattel would do best at the retail level if they went with the purple leotard with tail and long black gloves and thigh high boots.

I'd vote non-removable cowl for Batgirl as well.

So true

I'd prefer to see the remakes sprinkled in among NEW characters:

Mera

Black Canary

Hawkgirl

Huntress (Helena Wayne)

Power Girl

For the remakes:

Catwoman (Purple dress/green cape or don't bother)

Supergirl (Silver Age blue skirt)

Batgirl (sculpted non-removable cowl)

After seeing Wonder Woman, I can only imagine how sweet Bat girl will be!

Batgirl but please no removable cowl

May I ask, just for my own personal edification, of course and not having anything at all do to with future plans, why not? Is it because it's more in line with how we made Cheetah's hood part of the head sculpt or an aversion to how heavy the material needs to be (and potentially how much smaller the head needs to be for a feasible cowl?

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

Here-here to Classic Gals, and adding Mera & Black Canary would be awesome!

I think Catwoman def. requires the purple dress & green cape--the purple leotard is no better than the pirate version imo.

[samurainoir]

Here's an example of Barbie in the packaging with the "Batmite" tilted, floppy eared cowl.


Even Hot Toys at the high end price point can't seem to make the cowl not-bulky. Looks more like a helmet than a cowl once again.

Takara Cool Girls


I think the DCD looks great with a molded cowl, but I would have liked rooted hair coming out the back rather than molded hair.

All those reasons--flipped/cascading hair rooted at the back of the head/cowl would look great.

In light of retro-Batman's general reception, are more removeable cowls really being considered?!

Because the Mego one was clunky and awkward looking. A sculpted head with the hair rooted in the back would look 100% better than the Mego one.
The Mego version cowl could come off but not the mask? so much for little girls wanting to play with Barbara Gordon.

and here's the Batgirl from Paul Evans' site...


I think if you can evoke Yvonne Craig (like your Wonder Woman kind of evokes Carter without actually being a likeness), you've got a win!

ANYTHING that Evoks Yvonne Craig is good to go!
