Some on eBay are the original lead, some are the later release in metallic resin, which is now "DC Superhero Supergirl Best of Figure with Magazine #21" - with "metallic polyresin, improved figure bases, and updated magazines." I think Amazon sellers only have the resin version.<br /><br />Interesting - the original #21 was Raven, a striking black figure. The numbers actually referred to "issues" of the magazine.<br /><br />The Eaglemoss page says the magazine was updated to include the New 52. Mine is mostly about 2004 Supergirl, touching on Teen Titans, a lot of space on Cassie, Legion of Super-Heroes, and even Lobo with an image from the Brave and Bold tale. Power Girl and (ugh) Power Boy appear. But it also goes into Matrix, Linda Danvers, and even Cir-El. An updated magazine that includes New 52 is going to have to trim most of this older material, if not all of it. Which would be weird given the figure is the pre-New 52 version.<br /><br />I need to re-read this magazine!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-46072117063734449562018-06-21T21:14:21.234-04:002018-06-21T21:14:21.234-04:00I keep hoping to run into that Eaglemoss figurine!...I keep hoping to run into that Eaglemoss figurine!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-45552180370429440152018-06-21T19:56:29.984-04:002018-06-21T19:56:29.984-04:00Wow, seriously?

That's such a great price you could buy a ton and give them away to everyone you meet as a Christmas tree ornament.<br /><br /> But I've seen these generally for less than $5.00. I wonder how these are stamped out, and if they are hand painted.<br /><br />There's another small (3.5") Eaglemoss figurine that is semi-Michael Turner costume - short frilly blue skirt, but not taffy-shaped extreme Turner figure. Sadly it is one of the lead figures, not resin. Solid, heavy. Comes with warnings about kids under 14 so gotta be careful or protect it somehow. I wash my hands after touching it.<br /><br />This is "DC Comics Super Hero Collection 14. Wrapped with a thin book with drawings, kind of like the way the chess pieces come.<br /><br />The Eaglemoss Supergirl white pawn is a little bigger than this one, and also stands taller due to the chess base. A good combination - New 52 pawn piece, Turner figurine.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-82584118710365968042018-06-21T18:31:52.743-04:002018-06-21T18:31:52.743-04:00I feel I have failed you not mentioning this ;-) T...I feel I have failed you not mentioning this ;-) They are only $1 and we have mountains of them now (part of the reason the girls know so many hero names) I will have to keep you updated on future finds. @kara_querlhttps://twitter.com/kara_querlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-39418744766982568652018-06-21T15:42:54.273-04:002018-06-21T15:42:54.273-04:00Thanks for comments.

I thought I men...Glad you found and like this one!<br /><br />I thought I mentioned this Nano Metalfig to you in a recent post where you reviewed the shrine, but I guess I didn't. This one is still pretty widely sold - can pick it up easily on Amazon or eBay.<br /><br />The pose is dynamic. New 52 style lends itself to dramatic poses.<br /><br />I know you generally like to arrange the figures by era, but I find the size of this one makes it well placed near the "DC Comics ERTL Supergirl Die Cast Metal Action Figure." That's the pre-Crisis Kara, about the same height as the Metalfig, on a black base, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it in some of your photos. <br /><br />I also like to keep these around Heroclix pieces and Fansets pins placed in their stands. (Fansets.com has at least 4 Supergirl versions including some DC Super Hero Girls.)<br /><br />They are all close to the same size, and one can perhaps think of them as survivors of Kandor hanging out together.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-27147409611611121072018-06-21T08:19:13.072-04:002018-06-21T08:19:13.072-04:00You used your super-supergirl-tracking power, didn...You used your super-supergirl-tracking power, didn't you?<br /><br />A very dynamic figure. You can feel the power of the character and the wind billowing her cape. The Post-Flashpoint costume isn't my favorite but I never hated it, either. I'm wodering if she ever posed like this during the New 52.<br /><br />I don't know when it was solicited either, but a quick -and mostly fruitless- google search tells me it's been around for at least one year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
