The Batgirl figure stands at almost 30″ tall and comes with plenty of interchangeable accessories. Collectors will be able to swap out the character’s arms and weapons to suit up Batgirl in different positions. An exclusive version of the statue will also be made available, and it will come with an extra interchangeable arm.

If you want to check out the figure’s official product description, then you can read it below:

“‘Spare me the “good cop, bad cop” routine.’ Prime 1 Studio is proud to present MMDC-14 Batgirl from the Batman Arkham Knight. Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Gotham City’s Police Commissioner James Gordon, and was forbidden by her overprotective father from joining the GCPD. Instead, she took on the identity of Batgirl and was a crime-fighting partner of Batman’s for years.”

Aside from its height, Batgirl also stands out because of its lifelike detailing. The figure is coated in translucent resin to give Batgirl’s skin a more realistic touch and appearance.

As for its accessories, collectors should expect to get the following attachments:

-One (1) Switchable Normal Portrait
-One (1) Switchable Smirk Portrait
-One (1) Switchable Right arm Holding Batclaw
-One (1) Switchable Relax Right arm
-One (1) Switchable Left arm Holding Mini Batarang

As always, the collector’s item will be limited in size. Only 1,000 figures of the regular statue will be created and only 500 exclusive editions are expected to hit shelves. The Batgirl figure retails at $929, but die-hard collectors of the Arkham Knight series will surely find a way to scrounge that cash up.

This isn’t the first Batgirl statue to debut this year. Yamato USA created a sleek, comic-inspired figure of the heroine for collectors. The doll is also based on Barbara Gordon’s tenure as Batgirl as the character is arguably the most popular to don the vigilante’s suit.

If you’re not familiar with Barbara Gordon, then you should now the character debuted in Detective Comics #359. Gordon took up the mantle of Batgirl to draw in young female readers, and DC Comics’ plan works in spades. The character debuted on both the page and small screen through the 1960s Batman series, and fans fell for Commissioner Gordon’s feisty daughter.
