Batgirl
DC Superheroes S3 Select Sculpt:: Mattel, 2006. Batman / Batgirl Asst J2039 , SKU# K3320
The DC SuperHeroes series of figures gets even better. The all new Wave 3 Batman is now part of a Target Exclusive Two Pack that includes Batgirl. So far I have not seen Batgirl as a single carded figure, she appears to be only in this two pack. Not only is she Mattel’s first Comic Style 6” Scale Batgirl, she is only the second Female Comic Style 6” figure that they have produced. Supergirl from the Wave 2 is the other. Since 2003 when Mattel got the Batman license and through six other waves of Comic Style 6” figures, there have been no other Batgirl, Catwoman, Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn figures.
SPECS:
The figure stands 6 1/8 inches tall (to the ear tips) and has 22 points of articulation (Ball jointed shoulders and hips. Cut head, chest, biceps, gloves and thighs. Pin elbows, knees and ankles). Accessories include 1 Batarang.
PROS:
Like Batman, this is a great figure, probably The Best Batgirl Ever. The sculpt is a spot on classic comic look and compliments Batman really well. The articulation rivals Marvel Legends figures, but I think it is just a touch too much for a female figure. She has one open hand and comes with a Batrang.
CONS:
While I like the chest cut joint on Batman it does not work as well on Batgirl, the range of movement is very limited on her and that type of joint just looks bad on a female figure. The same hold true with the hips which too me are a bit excessive. 
OVERALL:
It’s Batgirl and being only the second female in this series is even more collectible. I naturally like her better than Supergirl, although Supergirl’s costume hides some of the articulation better than Batgirl’s does. The added articulation is great and adds to the play value. This is a nice set and will make a great gift. You’ll notice I have Batman holding a Batarang in the last picture, but none of the Batarangs that come with the Single Carded Batman come in this Two Pack. The Two Pack does not have the Cardboard Display that the Single Carded Figures have.
The spray ops are good, but there is no body wash like Batman. The figure I got was bowlegged with the right leg bent. This may have been from the blister tray and I fixed it after the pictures were taken. This is definitely a Must Have figure for Batman figure collectors and figure collectors in general.
