Batgirl (TNBA, Mattel)

By Tim

Twice released, twice off model. Even the “Rise of Sin Tzu” exclusive would have been a bit wrong! I took the silver Batgirl from the first four pack and repainted everything, including the blue highlight on her head. Now, the hard part: the cape. I tried fitting other plastic capes under her hair, like the Hasbro Robin or new Hasbro Batgirl figure, but it just wouldn’t fit, darn it! Turns out, it was easy enough to just go ahead and paint the black side of the fabric cape. Cut it down and glued it back together.
