batgirl dc superheroes barbie doll CHOCKING HAZARD – CONTAINS SMALL PARTS – NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3
Customer Review: DC Batgirl great collectable
Costume is fitted well to the body. The mask looks good but can use a better fit and more accuracy in creating the horns that are cut off at the tips. Mask. boots, gloves and body suit match in terms of fabric which is great for continuity in material. Extra treads here and there that are easily remedied with a scissor. Make up on the face looks nice and fashionable. All the materials used have a nice satin sheen to them. The hair is not as wavy as pictured, it straightens then curls in the bottom. Some fly away strands of hair need to be cut to keep the shape more uniform. Limited articulation, which is fine since at this price it’s more for display and barbie dolls in general are made that way. The bat logo on the chest is clean and crisp yellow with gold outline. The belt looks good and fitted on the waist. Molded in plastic with ochre paint to distinguish the bat logo and sectional pods from the strap. It would have been better if the ochre was gold to match the inside cape lining. Vinyl boots and gloves look fine with nice outline stitching detail. The cape looks good black with gold lining but the sewing together of both parts leaves less to be desired since there are undulating parts that causes it not to drape well. Good stand with black plastic base and clear acrylic protrusion that fits between the legs. It would have been great if the bat logo was molded into the base. Given a little more time and care Mattel could have made this that much better and possibly commanded a higher price. Overall great collectable with quality materials and craftsmanship for its price. One of the best hero pieces from Barbie so far in 2008.
