Terrific TV Toys: Batgirl figures from "DC Super Hero Girls"

Aaaaaannnndddd .... we're back! After quite a long hiatus, really. The "Terrific TV Toys" series returns for its seventh big season! OK, make that a seventh small season, since it will be just a few episodes before Season 8 begins in January. But still, there's some cool stuff you're going to see, especially since it continues the "Backlong of Batgirls" launched a few weeks ago on the sister series "Terrific non-TV Toys."

The smart, savvy, so sweet "DC Super Hero Girls" series premiered on Cartoon Network just last year. But previously, it was a web series with a slightly different look and approach. Then, the "DC Super Hero Girls" web series featured a heapin' helpin' of both male and female figures from the DCU, teenaged and facing all the pitfalls that attending high school includes. The latter incarnation on TV focuses mainly on a core set of the female figures and how they secretly fight crime together as best friends.

For the earlier web series, a set of dolls hit the store shelves and were pretty popular around Christmastime a few years back. Though we can call them "figures," the market for these was clearly little girls. Little girls who could dream of someday becoming a superhero! So let's take a look at two Batgirls from that original "DC Super Hero Girls" set ...


Next month, you'll see two Batgirl dolls from the newer (TV) series.
