That's beautiful. Shame that I don't care about the character (because I don't know her). She looks great!

LOVE the sculpt --- but wish there was an unmasked version! I'd get it in an instant!

ETA: Also love the boots. But I have a feeling maybe they aren't totally removeable...

Totally thought the same thing!

Just like you ladies said. It looks great, but might be far more enticing with an additional, unmasked, headsculpt. Besides, HT has been known to reserve that treatment for a second release -- although there is of course no guarantee that there will be a second release, or that it would be less than $500...

She’s up at Sideshow $243 USD.

I’m not familiar with the game character, but the comic-book character is Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman in the Nolan movies) — unbeknownst to him, of course. Later on in the books, the Joker shoots her in the back and cripples her. Wheelchair-bound she becomes the founder of the Birds of Prey as a character called Oracle — a character not seen, or even mentioned, in the new movie with Harley Quinn.

To me, Batgirl will always be the lovely Yvonne Craig, a former ballerina and model who became an actress, from the 3rd season of the 60s Batman TV show — who sadly passed away in 2015. I had a huge crush on her as a wee lad — and she rode a bitching motorcycle.

She is one great looking action figure but I really don't care for her jointed hips like you would find on a 1/12 action figure so I can't help but wonder if most of her outfit is just molded on?

Stryker - the original Batgirl is super cute, I love her purple outfit --- I have a thing for purple if you haven't noticed, lol. ;D

I'd love to see a 1/6 figure of that version in your collection someday...unless I missed it and you already have one?

Bad Wolf - I agree with you completely, the visible joints are glaring, but I'm pretty sure that is standard for a lot of suited/armoured Hot Toys figures these days. Isn't that how the Aquaman figure was?

Yep your right it sure seems like it, I just Googled him and it sure looks like it although there is another one with much better outfit, my original Wonder Woman Hot Toys figure also has visible joints but but fortunately skirt hide it, I'm  guessing that why some people swapped out her body for a TBLeague one.

Sky, I do have a 1/6 60s Batgirl, but it’s the statue by Tweeterhead:

Ah, awesome, looks great with your figures all the same!

I quadruple that emotion!

Oh dude! I'm super jealous. Whenever the movie comes on TV, I stay and watch until he runs up to the camera and says, "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb." Then I'll have a chuckle and go to bed.

Haha! That’s a classic line.

I'm guessing the bulk of the prototype photos were photoshopped, as in hand this is hands down one of the ugliest figures (particularly the ball joints at the hips -- horrible; I am massively disappointed. Hot Toys keeps jacking up their prices, but cutting corners again and again. This is like an over-priced 3 1/2" figure. The arms are covered in the usual HT cheap rubber, so I expect them to rot over time, as is the cape -- odd considering the rest of the figure is hard plastic.

Wow, she definitely came out looking like a toy, not a Hot Toy. Too bad.

Darn. And here's the worst part. Those promo pics really looked good -- so (unless this is a case of great prototype vs deteriorated actual product, which doesn't usually happen at Hot Toys) the promo photoshoot guy must really have done something. And the promos were good enough to get my money, though I don't have her in hand yet. The thing is, I'm not naive or stupid, and I didn't just fall for the promo pics uncritically. I assessed that HT Arkham Knight Batman was a similar figure that actually delivered pretty well on similar design elements. So the worst thing is that HT could and did deliver adequately on Arkham Knight Batman, and only on round 2, Arkham Knight Batgirl they decided to cut corners. Maybe the economic pressures of the Covid years?

I love Batgirl in all of her various incarnations, but she’s already very well represented in my 1/12 collection.

omg! that is HT quality? I've known HT's product is not necessary the best, but this is a new low! I feel for you man! My mesh up Batgirl looks way better than this!!

I finally got my Batgirl. Mark's points are all valid. I still like it though as it's probably the only Batgirl we'll get unless they decide to do one from the HBO film. There are odd choices and I do doubt the longevity of some of the materials used. From certain angles you can probably hide the most glaring choice of the exposed ball joint at the hips. She can be posed more than most HT's though. I do think that you should only get this if you really like the character.

Here are a couple pics I took so far.

I'm liking her though I haven't done much yet. This thread warned me about a number of concerns, and I might have skipped her then if I could have, but I was already committed. All those concerns are valid but the thread had done me the favor of advising me beforehand, so they were less of a surprise, and I opened the box with already adjusted expectations. This was a more positive experience than it would have been otherwise, So thanks.

Nicely shot, Craig!

What strikes me is that materials used for the final product look very different than what was shown in the promo. The finish of the armour, especially.
