Statues, Statues, Statues

In their continued effort to make me poor, DC and other companies continue to put out Supergirl merchandise. And in an odd cosmic convergence, a bunch of new statues have all been solicited or revealed within the last few days, many at San Diego Comic Con (and thanks to blog friend Firebird for passing on the photos). I probably won't get all of these. My poor wallet!

The one I would love to get is this Tweeterhead exclusive statue of Supergirl in her Bronze Age costume flying in the clouds with Streaky. Here is the link:http://ift.tt/2toXwPr;

Seriously, this is one beautiful statue. And that should come as no surprise when you learn that the design is from Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez.


This is a bright, happy, smiling Supergirl soaring in the clouds. I love this costume. I love this design. I love everything about it.

Well ... almost everything ...

It is $250. And it seems to be only available exclusively from the Tweeterhead website.

I wish it was available through my local comic book store. First off, I like to support the store. Next, I can put down a down payment and slowly pay it off on layaway, a more palatable way of paying for things than putting down the whole payment at once.

But it has Streaky!

I don't know if I am going to be able to swing this. As much as I want to!

Then at the San Diego Comic Con, the Joelle Jones DC Cover Girls Statue of Supergirl was revealed.

I talked about that statue when it was first announced here:

The Batgirl and Harley ones were also shown at SDCC and look great. This is a statue I think that I will get.

This one is from a company called Icon Heroes. We don't know how much it will be. I don't even know how big it will be. But this one is crackling. I love it. I am amazed how much love the show version gets in merchandise!

I really want this one. Price will be the determinant.

Here is another Supergirl show statue, this one (I think) from Kotobukiya. This one also has no price assigned although the Reverse Flash one in the same case was going for $69.99.

This one is very similar to the other recent show statue, so I don't know if I'll get this one. Price will determine.

Here is another Kotobukiya that I definitely will be skipping. This one is a little too manga and a little too sexualized. Not for me.

And then finally we got to see the Gotham Garage Supergirl statue over on the Nerdist here:

I'll talk more about Gotham Garage when I discuss upcoming solicits. I don't think I am going to get this statue. I absolutely love the design ... except for the waist tattoos. Call me old fashioned, but I just can't move beyond them. And I also think they add a weird, more prurient feel to the statue. This is something Howard on the Big Bang Theory might have in his collection.  It's a shame because the rest of it is a nice variant on her costume.

Lots of stuff! Start saving your pennies!
