I'm excited that Supergirl has become such a household name in the last 10 years. Between her solo live-action Supergirl TV show (on CBS then CW) and her role in DC Super Hero Girls franchise, she suddenly became a staple character in DC merchandising after decades of neglect. Sure, she had toys on the shelf before this, but her first true action figure was only made in 1998 (exactly 40 years after she was introduced). So despite her presence in the comics and supporting roles in cartoons, the general public didn't know anything about her. But all that has changed now. And once her solo film comes out in a few years, her high position in pop culture will be even more solidified (assuming it's good). This Supergirl figure from the new girl-centric DC Super Friends Imaginext line is one of my favorites of the first wave. She is sporting a super classic costume and a mischievous smirk. This character is not often portrayed as funny or wise-cracking, but this makes me think she should be. Let's check her out 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 photo tent and playsets just aren't my thing. Apologies.
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.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Supergirl with her 2018 Blind Bag figure.
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!
