The Shrine: Supergirl 1:6 Deluxe Collector Action Figure

I realized that it has been about a month since the Supergirl 1:6 Deluxe Collector Action Figure came out and I still hadn't commented on it. The figure is really wonderful.

It is packaged in a slick box which opens like a book, like all the other Deluxe Figures which have been solicited before.

The figure is really beautiful with a Matrix-style costume with red skirt and pointy sleeves. She has a very lovely face, albeit with sculpted hair. She stands about 13inches tall. The figure also has a number of articulation points. To make sure the leg articulations don't sully the aesthetic, the legs are covered in hose.

I feel the biggest drawback to the figure is the sculpted hair. I would have preferred 'real' hair on such a great figure. The sculpted hair also limits the movement of the head at the neck. Outside of the sculpted hair, the only other slight complaint I have is that she is wearing heeled rather than flat boots.

The figure also comes with a number of extras: open hands and fists, figure stand, a length of chain, a bendable construction iron girder, and a Streaky.

I absolutely love the Streaky.

But I also really like the malleable girder. It is very realistically painted and is stiff enough that it holds the shape you mold it in. I currently have the figure in this action pose, flexing the Kryptonian muscles.

The cape is also nicely rendered with the yellow S-shield on the back.

Here is close up of Streaky. He also is sporting a nifty cape. Streaky only has articulation at the neck. Still, it is a great rendition of the Super-cat.

Unfortunately, the figure is too big to be part of the corner cabinet 'shrine'. As a result is it resides on my bookshelf of trades. I guess that means I need a bigger and better shrine to display stuff!

While pricey at $89.99, it is a really excellent figure and certainly is beautiful enough to be displayed like a statue.
