Terrific non-TV Toys: Batgirl and Oracle figure set by DC Collectibles

This month's Terrific non-TV Toys episode is one that was actually shot last season but pushed off the schedule for something or other ... probably some hot new toy fresh off the shelves that we had to show you sooner. In fact, this episode was pushed a few times. But it was the last one of three Batgirl toys we shot at the same time, the others being the Batgirl of Burnside figure by Jada Toys and the two Funko figures. We had gotten this greeeaaaattt set of Batgirl and Oracle figures at the first time and took it out of the box on camera at about the same time. So here it is, at last!

This set commemorates the Oracle era of Barbara Gordon in the comics, the time period in the 1980s and 1990s, and a little beyond, where she was injured by the Joker and using a wheelchair -- but still fighting crime! She was the amazing computer mastermind Oracle. And this set more specifically comes from the "Arkham Knight" video game of the "Arkham Asylum" series.

(And maybe as you watch the episode, you can answer the question: Does the arrow belong??? LOL.)

Terrific TV Toys: Mego "Charlie's Angels" figure Sabrina

It's time to take a look at the next figure in Mego's new "Charlie's Angels" line: Sabrina Duncan, as portrayed by Kate Jackson on our beloved classic TV drama back in the 1970s. This straight-up, sensible gal took no guff back then, solving the case beside her cohorts Jill and Kelly.



Mego has also released the Kris Munroe doll, which you'll see on Terrific TV Toys later this year.
