I do love the pose in McFarlane’s pic of his Batgirl though.

Similarly, the breathing mask Dynamic Duo didn’t excite me when FTC offered them.

Although normally a completist, I am not compelled this time.

Mad Hatter, Bruce and Dick must surely be in the next wave? Companion figures for the irradiated cowl Batman and the Wayne Manor Library.
I think you’ll regret not getting Batgirl. She’s a great figure and the exact same height as the Mattel Batgirl I put them back to back when I opened her. I was on the fence too thinking I wouldn’t like her as much as the Mattel one but I ended up liking her way more. Yes, Mattel’s Batgirl has the better cape, but everything else is better on the McFarlane Batgirl. Neither look much like Yvonne so they are pretty even in that part.

Sadly Mad Hatter, Bruce and Dick or not in the next wave, they appear to be reissuing wave 1 including the Batmobile and probably the figures with new accessories, along with comic book versions of Superman and Lord Death Man. I really wanted Scarecrow, and definitely wanted Mad Hatter.

Is the Batgirl Figure a Platinum Edition or did he just put the sticker on it? I dont see that on the other ones.

Same question. I had been searching for a difference, wondering if there was a "sparkly" Platinum edition.

I'm not giving up on Mad Hatter just yet! They may be reissuing non-gas mask Batmans & Robins as they are being sold through more retailers not and so collectors have extras to put in the multiple Bat-vehicles they have released.

dHunter over on youtube reviews '66 Batgirl. Also, Toy Shiz reviews Batgirl and oxygen mask Batman and Robin. Toy Shiz shows off the Batzooka accessory, including with the crew in the BatBoat.

Will Batgirl be exclusive to Target? I have a feeling demand will be high.

The more I see of Batgirl up close, the less I like the figure. Her legs look to be placed far back under the torso allowing the upper body to cast a shadow and cause a gap under the utility belt. Also the slightly exposed teeth make her look a little crazy.

This Batgirl's face looks more like Leslie Grace who was the canceled Batgirl.

Does anyone know of anybody who received their McFarlane Batcycle, Batmobile or Batboat with “cracked windshield” or other pieces broken off? Seems a bit overly critical of the packaging. For me, the packaging reminds me of the toys that you might have bought in the 1960s.

I know it’s not exactly the same, but I remember toys being sold that weren’t completely enclosed in boxes. Like these

Really? McFarlane Batgirl fills the whole bubble in the pics and she seems taller than the Batman figure in that wave.
"Holy nostalgia, Batman!"

I thought the same thing. Perhaps McFarlane were going to do toys based on the batgirl movie and just repurposed the molds?
