AHHHH I WANT THIS FIGURE!!!

Product Description:
DESIGNED BY PAITOON RATAN
Batgirl, one of the most sought-after Ame-Comi characters, is reinterpreted here as Cassandra Cain, the [former] Batgirl [after Barbara Gordon]! Sure to sell out quickly, as did the first AME-COMI: BATGIRL, this figure features the young superheroine poised to launch her Batarangs in defense of Gotham City. The limited-edition, non-articulated, 9' PVC statue comes with a base, is packaged in a 4-color window box with J-hook and is manufactured to order.

That's a really nice figure Noctis.

I'm looking forward to picking this up later in the year:



BATMAN REBORN: SERIES 1: BATGIRL Action Figure

In one of the most exciting, ongoing comics events in recent years, a cast of familiar characters assumes the mantle of the bat. And out of the events of BATMAN REBORN, a new generation of heroes rise!

Now don't miss out on the action figures based on this award-winning, best-selling series, which includes both Azrael and Batgirl in their new costumes. The Batgirl figure stands at 5.75" high.

I only have a couple of statues/figures - on my limited budget they're not a huge priority - but I'll certainly be getting this.

I can sense the beginnings of a collection ...!

This one is coming out in April 2010. I think it is pretty well done!

She shakes a pretty mean cape. Batgirl joins the third series of WOMEN OF THE DC UNIVERSE busts! Illustrator Amanda Conner brings her trademark humor to this rendering of Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, as the heroine dances the Watusi. Batgirl is perched atop a base that is compatible with the HEROES OF THE DC UNIVERSE SERIES 1: BATMAN BUST.

This hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain bust measures approximately 5.5" high x 3.75" wide x 4" deep and is packaged in a 4-color box. Limited edition. Manufactured to order.

I actually have a pretty good anime/manga character figures/figmas and am always on the look-out for new additions, especially with these new AME-COMI and Kotobukiya editions, but I'm not really digging this version of Babs. What do you think? Is this a "Buy" or a "Meh"?

I looked this one up after you had posted the Cassandra one. I don't like this one as much as Cass's statue. When it comes to the original Batgirl outfit, I think it's best to keep it symbol and not change anything. The Cass one really works well, however, and the modernization works because her outfit was already pretty new!

Description
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! BATGIRL is the first in a line combining DC’s superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings. Barbara appears in the Japanese bishoujo (pretty girl) style based on original character art by Shunya Yamashita! Barbara stands with one foot resting on a gargoyle, accentuating her long legs, while she slyly spins her cape in front of her. Batgirl’s long flowing red hair is a striking contrast to her dark blue cape, especially as they both frame her beautiful Bishoujo-styled face. Batgirl stands approximately 9 inches tall (in 1/7 scale) with an exclusive Gotham City gargoyle base.
