So last week I got Starfire from Amazon and then this week Best Buy saw fit to tempt me with a lone Blackfire. She's a slick repaint for sure, I particularly like the subtle purple wash on her hair, but there's some sculpted details that don't line up as a result of her just being a repaint which I will now bitch about. Her hands are in her orange-skin color but they still have all of the same sculpted glove details from Starfire. More obviously then she does not have her crown/face-frame headpiece at all. The recent page puncher Brainiac platinum variant has an entirely different head, would it really have been too much effort to make a new hair piece with the crown thing for Blackfire? Bitching concluded. I'll say it again, she's a slick repaint but man I am not happy that this totally separate character is a platinum chase variant. I feel like the platinum chase for Starfire should've been like how Penguin was still Penguin but in classic garish colors or Cap'n Boomerang was still himself but the White Lantern version, maybe they could've done her hair in translucent plastic and gone with the metallic purple and silver for her costume.
