The new girl-centric line of DC Super Friends Imaginext toys has started off with a bang. In the first wave of releases we've already seen seven key characters represented in a fresh new style, a colorful palette, and supported by a series of animated shorts from DC Kids on YouTube. The style of these figures is reminiscent of the Teen Titans Go Imaginext line that was released 7-10 years ago featuring larger, more animated heads and slimmer limbs. I think I will always prefer the traditional Imaginext proportions, but this new series has grown on me fast. Batgirl seems to be the primary protagonist of this group. She seemingly owns the heroes' base of operations (the "Batgirl Hero Hideout") and she seems to be the focal point of most of the animated shorts. And that's impressive considering she is joined by heavy-hitters like Wonder Woman and Supergirl. (It's honestly most likely because she has the most impressive and notable villains of all the heroes). Let's check out Batgirl below!
I bought this full playset just for the figures. I plan to either give the playset to goodwill or sell it.
But either way, I didn't photograph it. It was too big for my tent and playsets just aren't my thing. Apologies.
Batgirl comes with a Batcycle.
Batgirl also comes with a Bat-Glider. This was mounted at the top of the playset like a piece of signage. I didn't realize its function until I watched the animated shorts on YouTube and saw it in action.
These new female figures have limited shoulder articulation. The arms only swivel forward and backward. No more hinge-and-swivel joints to let them raise their arms to the side.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Batgirl with her 2018 figure that came with her Batmobile.
Of her many Imaginext figures, this is the one with the closest color scheme.
And here are all the new Imaginext figures in this as-of-yet un-named big-headed female sub-line.
From Left to Right: Supergirl, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Bumblebee, and Wonder Woman.
Cheers!
