An
Imaginext Batgirl is FINALLY a reality! And it's the most recent (and very popular) Barbara Gordon 'Batgirl of Burnside' version! COOL!
Kmart.com currently has Batgirl listed on their website (but not in stock as of press time). The photo above shows Batgirl with an admittedly derpy looking expression (let's hope she looks a little less fetal-alcohol-syndrome in person but whoamIkidding I'm gonna get her anyways) as well as revealing that Batgirl sports a cloth cape. The CG prototype pics show her with what appears to be a plastic cape. A plastic cape might have been cooler, but at least she
has a cape, seeing as it only took Fisher-Price almost a decade to get around to giving one to
Robin!
The in package pics also reveal that the bat symbol on the front of Batgirl's Batcycle is a projectile! Awesome!
That's one good looking Imaginext Batcycle. I can see this thing getting a lot of re-colors and re-releases through the next few years, but I will have to have it in it's first release purple when it arrives in stores with Batgirl.
I'm not entirely surprised Imaginext went with the modern 'Batgirl of Burnside' costume, as it is the most up-to-date look for Batgirl. However Fisher-Price did add a lot of detail to the costume when they could have gone a more simple route, and for that I applaud them.
No idea when this will hit retail, but in the past when pics like this have surfaced online, it seems like it's been a good 6 months before they start hitting stores in sizable numbers. You can be sure the second she's available I will be getting her.
Stay tuned, true believers. Same Batgirl time, same Batgirl channel!
Oooh! Thanks for the update. This figure looks fabulous. She'll go nicely with the new upcoming DC Collectibles 6" Batgirl and bike release. (I like collecting in scales.)
ReplyDeleteAny word yet on when they will be coming out???
ReplyDeletePeople are already finding her in the US at Kohls - that's the only reports I'm aware of.
DeleteWe found her at a Target in Kentucky, she wouldn't scan so the cashier gave her to us for $3.99!
ReplyDeleteYup I just found her at Target a couple days ago. Planning to post about her soon!
DeleteI still haven't been able to find her out in the wild. Any more sightings out there?
ReplyDeleteI saw her at Kmart in Salinas last weekend. She's out there!
DeleteRats. We don't have K-Marts anywhere around here (Mississippi). I've been to Kohl's as well, but they never get anything new in (just pegwarmers). Target is the only store refreshing stock. I guess I'll just have to get her on Amazon.
ReplyDeletePeople have started finding her at Wal-Mart too recently.
