Zimm's Two Cents
I was a huge fan of the first Supergirl; however, this one leaves a tad bit to be desired. Overall, it is pretty good, but there are a few things that stand out.

Points in Favor

• The mirror is a nice touch.
• She looks more like a cheerleader then a hustler - which tends to be an ongoing them with Ame-Comi. This statue seems to have more of a 'cartoon' simplistic style to it. Look at the face and legs.
• I like the corset style costume. Great colors, Kryptonian symbols, and great cape.
• Colors really pop.

Points Against

• The face seems a tad bit flat.
• The hand poses are not natural. Both the one holding the mirror and the one on her hip appear to be out of place.
• The boots may be lacking - I will follow-up with the niece.

Recommendation: Pass. This one is nice, but not perfect. If you collect ALL of them, sure. If you only collect a few, there are others to grab before it.

Robert's Two Cents
I too am a huge fan of the original Supergirl. This one sucks.

Points in Favor

• Nothing in my book.
  

Points Against

• The mirror seems like a stupid accessory for her to have.
  
• The costume is lame. It's a bit too Buffy the movie for my tastes.
  
• The hair and face are way off.
  

Recommendation:Pass . I did think of one positive, the costume and hair are slightly reminiscent of Supergirl's first appearance.

Robert Updated to add: I'll also give Zimm that the Kryptonian symbols are cool. It reflects further my whole point of it "reflecting" the original appearance of Supergirl. Still think the mirror thing is lame.
