Zimm's Two Cents
This is a cool piece - a very nice piece. Look at it.

Points in Favor

• The colors are fantastic. Not simply great - but fantastic.
• Her ears are fun. Something you would almost expect from a teenage girl copying Batman.
• Excellent toolbelt, with some great gold coloring.
• What a pose! Look how the cloak highlights the pose! NICE.
• Great face. Her eyes are even glancing right at you.
• Detailed hands and gloves.
• And I haven't even mentioned the gargoyle, the lack of a 'true base', and her hair.

Points Against

• Can she really fight with that wedgy? (Click here to see what I mean.)

Recommendation: HOT BUY! For the price and simple detail, this is a definitive Batgirl for any collection. Even mine. LOL

Is that Batgirl or Buttgirl? Sorry! Couldn't help myself.

Points in Favor

• Nice "base"!
  
• The did a great job with the mask. I love the mask. It's almost helmet like. I almost believe it might protect her from a hit.
  
• I love the paint job. the costume almost has a clothlike texture.
  
• The hair is very believable.
  
• Overall it very much looks like the Barbara Gordon Batgirl.
• I love the belt.
• Batgirl from the TV show was one of my first TV crushes.
  

Points Against

• I'm with Zimm. Does Batgirl patrol commando style? It would seem so. This isn't necessarily a point against, but it's distracting.
  

Recommendation: HOT BUY! Me like!
