I wonder if it was possible to have an even less dynamic pose??

The pose does seem rather humdrum, but frankly, I prefer the casual stance to a lot of alternative "dynamic" poses.

The design is interesting. The costume strikes me as more artistic or ceremonial than what you would expect to find beating up villains in a dark alley, although black seems more sensible than some of the color choices we've seen recently. I really like the gold accents. I've often wondered why more designers and artists don't use dark shiny yellow-gold.

As the cover story indicates, this is the latest in a line of "paperweights." I wouldn't mind seeing an articulated figure of this version, especially if it came with an adjustable cape.

Skoob, there are at least two figures of the Arkham Knight version of Batgirl coming. One is a PAK from Square(ughhhh...) and the other is from DC Collectibles and is part of a 2 pack that includes Barbara Gordon as Oracle.

DC Collectibles and Square Enix both did articulated figures of the Arkham Knight Batgirl.

Oh yeah, you're absolutely right! Thanks, guys. Serves me right for posting in the middle of the night. <Yawn>

Play Arts Kai Batman: Arkham Knight Batgirl Figure (Aug 2016)

DC Collectibles Arkham Knight Batgirl & Oracle 2-Pack (Nov 2016)

I'm not a Play Arts Kai collector, so cannot comment on those, but I want to say that the DC Collectibles figures that I've purchased in recent months have been a real pleasure to examine and display.

The DC Collectibles one is probably the way to go. The Play Arts Kai version is much more expensive, and if you don't have any of them already, they're quite large (10") compared to standard figures.
