Supergirl Shrine: DC Mystery Mini

Last week, I thanked Russell Burbage for sending me the Supergirl figure from the Imaginext Series 5 figure run ( https://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2019/01/supergirl-shrine-imaginext-figure.html ). I also mentioned how I never get unopened mystery figures because I can't tolerate the chance.

So imagine my delight when in the same package that had the Imaginext figure, Russell included the Supergirl figure from the DC Super Heroes Mystery Mini series.

Now of all these things, this series is the one that vexed me the most. There was a Supergirl figure. There was a Streaky figure! A Streaky! There was Superman and Krypto! I'd be happy with any of those. That meant that I had a 7/24 chance of getting something that I would want. Heck, even the Joker fish one was sort of cool!

But still, I could only imagine getting 7 Catwoman black cats and none of the ones I wanted. So as many times that I picked the box up, I also put it down.

So in rides Russell to the rescue. He got the Supergirl figure and immediately thought of me and sent it my way! Another Christmas miracle!

There is something wonderful about the simplicity of this figure.

This defines cute.

The big eyes, the smile, the arms wide. It all works.

Of course, it is also the red skirt, point belt, and even 'yellow accented' boots!

This is amazing.

While there isn't much detailing to the back of the figure, there is enough to make it a great figure 360 degrees around.

Wonderful.

I felt like this figure needs a space to shine. So even though it doesn't necessarily fit into the Silver/Bronze age costume section, the sheer cuteness of it made me feel like this was the right spot for it in my shrine.

Thanks again Russell for two great Christmas gifts and two great additions to the Shrine.

And thanks again to the comic community and their generosity!
