DC Icons Action Figure

I recently purchased the DC Icons Supergirl figure based on the Rebirth Supergirl costume update.
This is a very fun figure with the standard multiple sites of articulation and great sculpt. But this one also has the added fun of interchangeable parts including 3 sets of hands and two heads, one sporting blasting heat vision.
The packaging is clean showcasing the figure nicely.
And the figure itself is very nice. There is a serious look on the face, consistent with the action pose and fists I chose. I like the pleats of the skirt and the look of the boots as well, high enough to almost resemble leggings.
Here is a look from the side to give a better sense of the scuplt including the overhang of the hair and to give a better view of the articulation points. I very much like how the cape attaches at the shoulders here as well.
And then the standard view from the back to let you look at the cape ruffles and the hair detail.
I also like the inclusion of the Kara-specific S-shield on the cape. The cape should (in my opinion) never be plain red.
Now the above pictures have the figure on an old stand I have from a prior figure.
But this figure came with this clear, angled stand. It gives you the impression of Kara floating. You can pose her in more of a flying position if you want.
For me, this was a true delight. I have started to realize that I need levels for my collection on my shelves and this raised stand is a perfect solution.
Given the overall resemblance to the show costume, the figure went on the shelf with those collectibles. You can see her in the middle, to the right of the main statue.
And a closer look.
This was a nice piece to add to my collection. I like the Rebirth look so I was glad to see it in figure form.
