Animated figures were something I avoided in my collection for years. That was mostly due to the fact that I just didn't watch many cartoons. But it was also a little bit because I just didn't like the quality or design of the toys. In my mind, they were overpriced, too small, not articulated enough, and they just couldn't stand up properly. It wasn't until years later that I became more of a character-driven collector, then I couldn't ignore the gaping holes in my collection.. especially for my Batgirls and Catwomen. I'm still not a completist when it comes to animated figures. I usually just try to find the single best representation of an era.. or at least limit myself to unique sculpts and skip the numerous repaints. It was my constant eye out for the best representation of a character that led me to these awesome Jack-in-the-Box toys from 2001. I reviewed Supergirl last month and easily proclaimed her to be the best animated Supergirl out there. This Batgirl gets the same nod from me. She's amazing. And she's even better than Supergirl because her action feature is practically unnoticeable. Let's check her out below!
The lever on her back swings her leg forward in a Karate Kick motion.
Batgirl comes with a small cardboard standup of Penguin for her to kick over.
Time for some Comparison Pics!
Cheers!
