With McFarlane Toys slowly re-releasing all of the old DC Collectible Batman the Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures figures, I have decided to be very selective. Some of the figures, including the TNBA Batgirl and TNBA Catwoman, have been essentially identical to the original releases (which I still have and love). But occasional there is something new, like the Batman '66 repaint of the TNBA Batgirl and this BTAS Batgirl in a distinctly-different deco. As much as I love the DCC BTAS Batgirl, the colors always seemed very dark and broody. I was very happy for this redecoed version, and I hope future BTAS/TNBA releases will have similar updates instead of boring re-releases. Plus, and I will always repeat this, we desperately need a Batwoman figure from Mystery of the Batwoman in this line. She would be such an easy figure from existing sculpts to make and a fantastic new character. Fingers crossed for a future reveal. Let's check out the updated BTAS Batgirl below!
Batgirl comes with a collector's card and five pairs of interchangeable hands. The DC Collectibles version of this figure came with a batarang and several of the hands were sculpted with open grips to hold it. Most of these hands are all fused shut.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is the 2024 McFarlane Batgirl with the 2017 DC Collectibles Batgirl. They share the same mold (including a left leg that is fractionally longer than the right). But the older figure has much darker and richer colors, with tinted plastic instead of paint for most of her parts. The McFarlane figure is brighter, shinier, and has a cel-shaded deco.
Cheers!
