Terrific non-TV Toys: Batgirl of Burnside figure by Jada Toys

Jada Toys sure has served up the female superheroes in this plentiful set of diecast figures. There are Supergirls, Wonder Women, Harley Quinns and even Catwomen of varying styles and sizes. There are also some wonderful Batgirls, one of which we see in this month's episode of Terrific non-TV Toys.

Barbara Gordon is young and savvy in this Burnside incarnation, featured in DC Comics' "New 52" series in recent years. She's not Oracle -- she's back in the streets fighting crime the traditional way. She's tech-savvy, posting to social media and reading her own press. And her costuming is tweaked -- a blueish-purple suit with seams and a more complicated utility belt, plus some very practical (flat-soled!) laced-up workboots to kick the tails of the criminals. Check out her style in fine detail, from the pages of the current comic series to this diecast figure, up-close and personal ....



(And speaking of Oracle, by the way, that will be the next Batgirl figure we look at on this web series, in a few months! So stay tuned!)
