Supergirl Shrine: Imaginext Figure

One of the things that I am always amazed about is the generous nature of the comic book community I am part of here on social media. Every so often there'll be package awaiting me when I get home from work from a comic of blog friend I have made here. And I do my best to return the favor when I can. #topsecretproject is always a favorite part of my con season, getting books signed for friends.

This Christmas season I got a fantastic package from great friend Russell Burbage, the founder and curator of the Legion of Super-Bloggers. Russell helps keep my on track on that site as I maintain 'Fridays with Anj' there.

The package had two pieces but I'll be covering them in separate posts.

First off, I got the Supergirl figure from the Imaginext Series 5 line.

I cannot tell you how happy I was to get this. I see these mystery figure toys all the time. There is often a Supergirl or Streaky figure that I would love to own. But I just can't gamble like this. Imagine if I ended up with 6 Green Arrows and no Supergirls?

So I never pick these up in their raw form. So to have Russell open up a pack, see Supergirl, and think of me was a wonderful. Merry Christmas to me!

On to the figure!

Now this is a great little figure. As folks here know, I am all in for the red skirt version of the Supergirl costume. So I love this.

Everything kind of works here. The high boots. The long hair. The sort of cartoonish face. It all makes this a great figure.

I don't know if I completely understand the inclusion of a sort of war hammer. But there it is.

I also can't help but think that the top of the war hammer looks like a fire hydrant.

Were these things supposed to represent something? Or was it random?

The figure has found its home on one of the shelves of the shrine, right there with the DC Superhero Girls and the Matrix costume figures.

Thanks again Russell! Such a great little figure to add to my collection!
