I didn't like that one much when it was released. The sculpt detail is all are over the place stylistically. It can't decided if it wants to be busy or streamlined. "I'm Kirby! No I'm Byrne!" They over thought it.

Funny cause Mcfarlane is more of a Mcfarlane. You know how he made his fame in comics?

Don't get me wrong Kirby's stuff is iconic (So was the titanic, Rome, the twin towers, the golden girls..etc) and he drew superhero comic, building block, art work. But what I see now in stores is all the boring non batman classic style dc stuff just sitting there. Just like before when Mattell did it. With all the over produced marvel legends. You might get a classic lex luther down the line..but it'll be the collectors edition no one wants to pay for.

Isn't the Lex suit a Perez design?

Yes, it is and the DCUC release is the most faithful version to date.

The only problem I had with that Lex figure was the armor really hindering the arm movement.

EvilMonkeyPope · 08-28-2023, 04:54 PM

The Mattel Lex is built on Mr. Freeze parts so he's bulkier than Perez designed the armor. DC Direct's version is more faithful.

Mommar · 08-28-2023, 04:58 PM

Wow, that's quite a contrast between shiny metal and drab, cheap grey plastic...

You're right, the proportions are closer to Perez’ concept and the battle-skirt is exact along with the piping. Thanks for mentioning it, I looked up the old DC direct to see.

Ha, was just going thru bins and found him, and DCUC Steel. They've returned to active duty.

ShabbyBlue · 08-29-2023, 07:29 AM

Now THAT is a nice looking classic Supergirl figure from McFarlane. Too bad it's a Target exclusive. Hopefully it's not too hard to get.

If I like it I'll buy it. If I don't I won't. Thank you for your expert commentary. It's always appreciated.

Uggh napkin cape

Sculpt looks good..just that cape is horrendous. Photo is shopped. It's not even wired so it can't do that unless you are holding it.

Cape aside thats gotta be the most beautiful supergirl sculpt to date. I will be buying multiples of it, provided i can find her.

ThorOdinson123 · 08-29-2023, 08:08 AM

Kara looks fantastic. Now maybe in another 4 years Todd can give us Black Canary,Zatanna, Vixen,Hawkgirl & Ivy Etc

Thats the longest hero name I've ever seen..DC is weird

I think Mcfarlane already made that monstrosity..

TheBlueMarvel · 08-29-2023, 08:46 AM

Is that visible ratcheting on the inside elbow of Supergirl? And I see we are back to unnecessary textures and McFar gave her a burlap skirt.

lordbest · 08-29-2023, 08:48 AM

I think/hope its just the light but her eye paint looks fucked up to me

Supergirl looks nice but I don’t like how the red completely covers her entire legs.

Brainiac figure, now that’s what I want!!

Zigerlion · 08-29-2023, 10:25 AM

Since it's a Target exclusive, lower your expectations on getting one from ordering online. They cancelled my April O'Neal order out of the blue.

Me either though they might be thigh high boots and the foreshortening in the pic is coming into play making it look like leggings.

Based on the render from a few weeks ago looks like the red covers the full leg

ShabbyBlue · 08-29-2023, 10:53 AM

It's her Rebirth costume with thigh high boots
