No All-Star Squad version Samurai... I want the one with the boobies cut out.

Actually, I believe Power Girl's first appearance was in her classic outfit with the oval chest cut-out & side cape. Other early appearances (All-Stars, etc.) sometimes included a scoop neck or a normal neck-line with a double cape.

But yes, I think the 1st appearance look would be cool as it is classic, has translated into her modern appearance, and would coincide with the general consensus in this thread. But I would hope against any enhanced chest/torso or uniform, which would be odd and not retro at all...and kinda creepy.

[Fire Marshal Bill]

I'm in total agreement....... with everything in the thread .

Powergirl would be cool. I'd buy her but I'd like to see a good Catwoman figure first, not the pirate look mego did and since Wonder Woman and Cheetah are on the way I'd take Powergirl next for the a new female figure.

If these are in Toys R Us sitting in the "boy" aisles, I think sticking with male characters would prove to be more successful. I'm not hating on the girls; I just want the line to succeed. In my opinion, making lots of female figures will have young boys calling them "dolls" instead of "action figures".

Let's say out of 28 figures, six are female. I don't think that's a bad mix. Here are my four picks after WW and Cheetah hit:

Batgirl
Supergirl
Power Girl
Huntress

I don't care for this 1:1 ratio heroes to villains. I like the fact that they are doing villains, yeah, but IMO one bad guy per wave would be perfect.

I would rather have more male heroes and foes...but I do want to see some females. Catwoman,Supergirl and Batgirl for sure but I'd rather see Black Canary and Hawkgirl over Power Girl or Huntress.

[Krypt0nite]

I think Power Girl and Huntress would be a good bet due to the Superman/Batman connection---maybe as a Matty Exclusive?

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I would rather see a non-pirate Catwoman before a Power Girl, too. An while we are wishing, I'd like to see a Lois Lane made. I know she isn't a super power, but I think it would be cool to have her next to Supes.

Yeah, young boys aren't buying these, adults are. Young boys are buying beyblade crap and psp games.

The no girls allowed rule is stupid and infuriating to anyone, adult or child, looking to purchase all their favorite characters, especially concerning teams. For me personally, if no female characters are included in a toy line, I will not purchase or drop it altogether. And I felt the same way 25 years ago when I couldn't add Batgirl, Supergirl, Catwoman, Hawkgirl or Cheetah to my Super Powers collection. As a child, I didn't know these characters weren't actually produced, I just knew I could never find these characters at the store.

I'd much rather see Hawkgirl or Black Canary than Power Girl. I'm sure Batgirl, Supergirl, and Catwoman are coming first though.

[madmarva]

Mattel could use some left over stuffing from Darksied to fill out Power Girls' costume.

[PNGwynne]

I'm not against PG per se, but there are many others who should come first. Particularly Supergirl & Batgirl... I'd be concerned that PG might undercut Supergirl.

As for new female heroes, I'd suggest Black Canary, classic Huntress, and a "proper" Catwoman.

Power Girl, "assests" aside, does have a pretty simple & striking costume that would lend itself to Retro-Action, though.
