This
must be about the 6th animated Batgirl I've made over the
years. I suppose I keep returning to her (both versions) until
I feel I get it right.
Recently,
Mattel released its own in-house sculpt of Wonder Woman.
While vastly inferior to the previously released Wonder
Woman (sculpted by folks at DC), the figure's softer angles
make for a decent base of old-school animated designs.
Around the same time, I was watching the episode "Batgirl
Returns." This features some of the best animation
of the first series, and Batgirl was drawn more like her
new school
version, with the slightly larger head. Thus I was compelled
to try another Batgirl custom.
As stated
above, the base is the second Mattel Wonder Woman, and
the head is the Mattel Batgirl. Kneadatite makes up her
boots, gloves, neckline and hair (extensions to the shoulder).
Her belt and cape are cut from vinyl.
All in
all, a big improvement over my last attempts. At least
this one doesn't have "thunder thighs."
