Action Figure #62: DC Multiverse The Batgirl of Burnside

  I just call her Batgirl.

 Umm... sure, let's go with The Batgirl of Burnside I guess. This redesign was a bit controversial when it was first announced, because it looked as if it had de-aged her a lot, and she was also a hip girl, with a cellphone now. I think it wore out its welcome because it was retired, but I still liked it a lot.
 The good news? The figure looks very pretty. The headsculpt is very bubbly, very pretty, the jacket and the belt look great, and the boots are very detailed, so yeah, it's good... for the most part. Her abs were sculpted in a way that makes it look as if she's always bending forward, even when her back is completely straight. It doesn't help that the ab crunch itself is very loose... although it doesn't matter, since it doesn't have much range anyways.
 While she is part of the Multiverse line, her articulation range is kinda limited on all of her single-jointed elbows and knees. There's really not much you can do with her. She's got a waist swivel hidden there, at least.
 Honestly, for such a fun design, this figure is kinda lackluster, and definitely disappointing.
