totally love the dynamic pose of this batgirl. the modern version does make the statue pop, the golden colour does bring out all the details. I would prefer the modern version hands down
I was very fortunate to pick up the Modern Batgirl this week and she's fantastic. But you will get a pretty penny for the classic one. Lots of collectors wouldn't mind adding her to their collection. Thanks for the Comparison.
I have the original exclusive edition and I still feel that is the best version. Since it is based of the artwork from Alex Garner it looks "correct" according to that. I would much rather have a different Batgirl instead of a slight color variant of an existing piece. The modern version does not look bad but I would also much rather they go full on the Derrick Chew way (www.sideshow.com/collectibles/dc-comics-batgirl-32-sideshow-collectibles-500883U?var=500883FAL) when choosing that color scheme. You want a yellow batsign on the chest if you have the original and you want a yellow cape on the modern one if you have that. Apart from that the lower number on the modern might be a reason for that if you are thinking resell value. Either way I'm keeping my original but what I really would like though is a Cassandra Cain Batgirl. That needs to be made!!!
Both are beautiful, and Batgirl is my favorite comic hero! I wish I was able to afford these higher end figures, I’d LOVE to have her displayed in my home.
Hey Eric you know which one won? You did for having both of the variount of this great looking Batgirl statue. No matter which one you have it still is a beautifully made sculpt that depicts the character very well. Thank you for giving us this demonstration and comparison video. To pick which one is better is like trying to choose which one of your two kids you love most. So good luck with them. Take care and stay safe.
Good Review. You know I'm looking at this and I'm thinking that I may have slept on this premium format. I have the OG and I was content with it. I think the smiling portrait threw me off. But now looking at your review I'm having 2nd thoughts.
I hate to say it, but this feels like a money grab to me. These statues look way too similar to justify the time and expense it took to make the second one. If SS was bit by the "Batgirl" bug, then they should have come out with a completely different version. Maybe a Yvonne Craig 1966 style Batgirl. I realize Tweeterhead did one a few years ago, but SS could have done their own version. Just my opinion. Great review Eric.
Both are pretty ugly and I would have rather had a FIRST Nightwing than a second Huntress, third Batgirl (if you include the money-grab variant), second Poison Ivy, etc. Red Hood and Nightwing seem like slam dunks--yet, nothing.
Agree especially about Red Hood. 2nd Huntress or third Batgirl is good mostly for people who didn't bought the first ones (or missed them). Already having 1 Batgirl or 1 Huntress wouIdn't make me buy a 2nd one.
Thanks Eric! Great to see these two lovely ladies side-by-side. Hard choice!
I agree. A gold colored cape on the new version looks great!
It really does!!
Both nice, I really love the older light grey one 😍
Thanks for the detailed comparison, Eric. I really enjoyed seeing the two versions together and up close.
Great comparison! With the capes swapped, both look great! I really regret missing out on both!
Awesome comparison Eric! I like the little details of the older one but like the colors of the newer variant.
The yellow cape with the gold/blue/black variant looks amazing! Very hard decision! I love them both so much! 😭💕😍

Nice review Eric the variant does look great with the yellow cape but I like the variant overall better.
I get the feeling we won't be waiting long for another version, either repaint or new sculpt, so I will keep waiting
VERY NICE ERIC. I LOVE THAT YOU SWAPPED THE CAPES. THEY LOOK ALOT BETTER NOW. GREAT CHOICE ON THE ONE YOUR KEEPING. MAD CONGRATS.👊🏽🤘🏽

Congrats 👏
slightly off topic but i feel like the new 52 darkseid you have down there is one of the most underrated pieces around. so badass.
It's an fantastic piece!

I was completely surprised by this one. I’m on the waitlist, hopefully it converts over. I like this version
Good video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I prefer the new variant, but with the OG cape. That's how she should have looked from the beginning.
Love the gold version best. It just looks more funky and retro. But I'd be happy with either.
Both are worth it!!

Original all the way !!
I think I’m more of a fan of the black and grey one.
I never liked batgirl ever since the CW destroyed her character. Good review Eric!
Thanks for watching as always!

I think I like the original a little more but like Eric said you can’t go wrong with either
Absolutely
Wonderful statues!
Both are good for Batgirl fans.
Hey Eric I wouldn't complain to own either of them seeing i don't have a lot of statues yet I like them both but the og is better I think!
👍Thanks for the comparison
🤘🤘🤘
Great review, thanks!
Thanks to taking the time to watch!
I like them both but if it was up to me I'd pick the original grey one.
I don't understand why Sideshow did not take the opportunity to address the head problem

Yeah the new one for the win.
Boom
Las 2 👏👏👏👏🦇🦇🦇🦇

Surprised they haven't made those as well.
Your absolutely right

The face ain't feminine enough.
