Got a second run Halloween Batgirl and compared it to my first run. The paints that were used are generally a few shades lighter. It's also sloppier in terms of excess glue, incomplete paintwork, and too much paint for the eleylashes.

These pics are horrifying.

Thanks to Gothamite I got 15% off on eBay and will have the Katana Bombshell and for me that might about do it outside of upcoming ones (Big Barda!)

I've seen some pretty bad ones, thanks to you, but I guess my luck has held up well with this line with the exception of Vixen and some very minor flaws on a very few others. I still like my earliest figures, Wonder Woman (cankles and face, too), Supergirl and the oft-overlooked Stargirl. But I confess a certain appreciation of the later figure such as Jesse Quick, Starfire and Jessica Cruz, which seem more whimsical and have action-based poses. Definitely (defiantly???) can't wait for Big Barda!

Local guy cleaned it up for me so no issue now.

I waited too long on the Starfire bombshell. I looked at it one night and almost hit order. The next day, it was sold out. It definitely has a Milla Jovovich vibe to me.

Originally I held off on the Starfire just because I was mad she didn't have the original fire eater costume from her original Red Hood variant cover.

Now its one of my favorites because it gives off the 'whoops how did I get myself into this accidental yet sexy situation' that a lot of pin ups have. Gil Elvgren is one of my favorite artists and he did these a LOT.
