Based upon the Superman / Batman: Apocalypse DVD, this looks to be another great piece from DC Direct.

Zimm's Two Cents
Surprisingly, DC Direct has done several really good Supergirl statues, and this looks to be another one. However, this is the second strong statue from DC Direct.

Points in Favor.

• Like the colors - but they didn't do anything beyond the DVD.
• Unique pose. Its always nice to see something different.
• Based on the DVD, I like the face and hair of this character.
• Really clean sculpt.

Points Against

• Bland Base

Recommendation: Buy. I like this take of Supergirl, and I hope that they do a few more from this DVD. Or have they done some and I have missed them.

Hmmmm - time for some research.

Robert's Two Cents
Really sharp. It's clearly from the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse which is an adaptation of the comic, Superman/Batman: Supergirl with art by Michael Turner.

Points in Favor.

• It's simple...in a good way. Not over done. Very nice.
  
• Great pose. It's a tribute to the cover of her first appearance Action Comics #252
  

Points Against

• I don't have anything. The base is plain, but that's intentional. All of the maquettes based on the DC DVDs has the same plain base.
  

Recommendation: HOT BUY! This is probably the best Supergirl in years. I have the Kotobukiya Supergirl with the same costume and the difference is that one is a bit on the sleazy side, but this one is more tasteful. It was a great redesign when Michael Turner did it and I think it works even better here.
