One thing that Funko has proven to me over the years is that just because some time may pass, it doesn't mean they won't complete a line. When the Batman '66 Catwoman came out back in 2013, I was immediately excited for a Batgirl in wave two. I have a great fondness for the purple and yellow Yvonne Craig Batgirl from my childhood, and there are far too few representations of this look in plastic. Every year at Toy Fair I was excited to see if they would unveil this figure, but she was never there. But at the same time, I never closed the book on the idea of her being released. And sure enough, a mere four years later we get this fantastic Classic TV Batgirl to add to our collections. They did a spectacular job taking the older "squat" body style and making it look both modern and classic. The fact that she has three distinct tones of purple on her makes her really pop (pun intended). And I'm expecially glad they included the glittered body to match Catwoman. Let's check out the Batman Classic TV Series Batgirl POP below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here she is with the Catwoman '66 POP! from 2013.
On the Left is the 2010 Original Batgirl POP (the first one I ever bought) and on the Right is the 2010 SDCC Exclusive repaint (the second POP I ever bought).
And here she is with the Batgirl '66 Dorbz that was exclusive to Walmart this past Winter.
Cheers!
