The fins on her forearms are thinner than the Batman figures, but look in proportion with her thinner build. The waistline is sculpted with her belt, and has a huge peg sticking out the right side to hold her red purse. In fact she’s almost as tall as the Batman figure she comes with. It works out all right, but can get in the way of the wings sometimes.īatgirl comes with the same base body as Catwoman –that is little waist, big bust, and very long legs. He has a peg clamp on his backside to hold the gun. He’s also missing the trademark fins on his forearms. The head is also vacu-formed, and has a very retro Voltron look to it.

There were so many things going for this figure that I had to pick it up. Well that all changed the moment I saw a guest reviewer’s coverage of the Takara Microman version of the bat. ![]() However, when it comes to action figure collecting there’s little evidence to show it other than my Hush figures.
